Transportable Multigas Area Monitor

When lives and property are at risk and you need gas detection
equipment that is totally reliable, you need Crowcon. For over 40
years Crowcon has been developing and manufacturing high quality
products with a reputation for reliability and technical innovation.

Crowcon provides both single gas and multigas monitors for personal
and portable safety applications providing protection against a wide
range of industrial gas hazards.

Choosing the portable gas detector for your needs

Detective+ is based on the highly successful Triple Plus+ multigas monitor for use in utility, oil and gas applications. Singly, or linked
together using Detective Net, Detective+ gives a loud and clear alarm providing effective warning of gas hazards. The rugged, water and
impact resistant design and clear display make Detective+ the ideal choice for your transportable gas detection needs.

 Detective Net 433

Detective Net is a wireless module that can replace interconnecting cable for Detective and Detective+. Detective Net will transmit gas
alert signals and other alarms wirelessly between Detective units using a 433MHz signal up to 100 metres in distance.

Detective Net uses the proven RICOCHET mesh network. When establishing a mesh network, Detective Net automatically selects the
best line to give strongest interconnections. Should wireless connection between two devices weaken, the network will ‘self-heal’ and
automatically re-route communications via alternate RICOCHET enabled devices, creating a mesh type network that provides a more robust
and efficient wireless network.

When Detective+ goes into alarm, the signal will be sent to other units alerting the user to gas being present in the area. Detective Net will
also transmit other faults, including loss of signal and battery low alarm. If the signal is weak due to heavy metal work being present the
Detective Net can be used as a repeater to boost the signal between units. In a confined space the unit can use up to 20 metres of cable
to position the unit in a position that will increase signal. For more ideas see the suggestions below or visit our website.
