Vortex - Model FP - Flameproof Gas Detection Control System Datasheet
Vortex Gas Detection Control Panelsl Robust and reliablel Easy push-button operationl Flexible configuration l Adjustable on-site l Flameproof formats availableWhen 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.Our robust and reliable range of gas detection control panels allows you to monitor a range of toxic and/or flammable gas detectors, flame detectors and smoke/heat detectors, simply and easily.With 5 options available, and customisable solutions, we have a Vortex panel to suit your requirements. Vortex offers all the flexibility you will need while still being simple to operate. All the day to day operations can be completed via push buttons on the front panel. With up to 12 channels*, including up to 3 for fire, Vortex can be customised to meet your site requirements, however complex, without the need for extensive cabling.Choosing the Control Panel for Your NeedsVortex Flameproof: Vortex flameproof (FP) systems are designed for use in ATEX Zones 1 & 2, with IP66 ingress protection, Unlike many other flameproof systems, all day-to-day operations can be undertaken without opening the enclosure, removing the need for hot work permits. Vortex FP With up to 24 relays, the enclosure is capable of accommodat-ing up to 4 intrinsically safe (I.S.) barriers for interfacing with I.S. detectors and alarms. Vortex FP Compact Not every location can accommodate a Vortex FP unit, so when space is restricted (see dimensions on back page), Vortex FP Compact is an ideal choice. With up to 16 output relays. Intrinsically safe barriers for interface with I.S. detectors and alarms must be housed in a separate enclosure. * dependent on model chosenWall Mounted: VortexA standalone unit for surface mounting on walls, the display panel shows the fault and alarm levels for all the channels, but the LEDs only light when a hazard or fault is detected. This means the whole system can be checked at a glance. Setting adjustments can be made at the enclosure without the need for additional equipment.Panel Mounted: Vortex PanelFor fitting into an existing panel or door and offering wide range of PSU and battery options.19 inch Rack Mounted: Vortex RackA flexible option where modules, PSU and batteries can be supplied separately for fitting within an existing 19 inch enclosure, permitting multi-rack systems to be created.Vortex Gas Detection Control PanelsUp to 12 devices can be monitored by reviewing just one control panel – saving time and manpowerFlexibility built in; initially configured to suit your operational needs, then channels/alarms are easily customised by you if requirements changeDay to day operations are easily undertakenFaults are easily seen and whole system can be checked at a glance1 to 12 channels (including 3 for fire)Each channel has 1 fault level and 3 alarm levels which can be combined in any pattern to trigger up to 32 output relays.Can be factory set to your requirements. Then when in situ, can easily be configured to suit your requirements using Vortex PC software.
