C01927 Gasmaster 4 One to Four Channel Unit with Communications Port (required for Gasmaster PC connection and event log upload) by Crowcon
Crowcon Gasmaster is a compact but powerful control system that combines simple operation with an extensive array of input and output functions.
Crowcon Gasmaster provides all the information you need about your gas and fire detectors at a glance. The large multi-lingual display shows gas levels from all detectors simultaneously, and enables system adjustment and testing using buttons on the front panel.
Crowcon Gasmaster can operate 'stand-alone' or interface with any alarm devices and control systems using a selection of outputs.
Large display
- All gas levels are displayed simultaneously
- Alarm messages can be customised to indicate the name or location of any detector in alarm
- The LCD can be set to display in many languages
- Enables full systems status check at a glance
User friendly
- Menu system is intuitive and easy to use
- All functions, from day-to-day operation to re-calibration, can be carried out from the front panel
- Event log feature
- Enables configuration changes to be made easily
- Routine testing can be performed rapidly
- Enables system fault and alarm history to be viewed
Versatile input and output features
- Provides analogue, relay and Modbus outputs
- Flexibility
- Two levels of independent alarm per channel
- Remote inhibit and reset facilities
- Compatible with 4-20mA or mV pellistor type gas detectors
- Facilitating communication around the site
- Gasmaster can monitor up to four detectors in virtually any combination of gas detectors, fire zones or Environmental Sampling Unit
- Software enables re-configuration and event log upload in an instant
- Can be configured to suit site requirements
- Enables control from any point on your site
- mV pellistor detectors reduce system purchase and maintenance costs
Modular design
- You only need to purchase the required number of input modules
- 1, 2 and 3 channel systems can be extended later by adding additional modules
