These Crowcon Vortex control panels are for monitoring one to twelve gas detectors and three zones may alternatively be configured for smoke/heat detectors.
The versatile modular system is available with up to 32 programmable relays. Includes gas level display, battery back-up, internal alarm,
one-person calibration feature, RS-485 Modbus communications, event logging, and PC software for configuration and monitoring.
Available in a selection of input channels and relay modules.
The mounted vortex is a 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.
Channels and Display
1 to 12 channels (including 3 for fire) - up to 12 devices can be monitored by reviewing just one control panel, saving time and manpower
Each channel has one fault level and three-alarm levels which can be combined in any pattern to trigger up to 32 output relays - flexibility built-in,
initially configured to suit your operational needs, then channels/alarms are easily customised by you if requirements change
LED display panel lights - faults are easily seen, and the whole system can be checked at a glance
Installation and Maintenance
Modbus Compatability - no extensive cabling required; cable connections within the unit are easy
Space within units for access to cable terminals
Uses industry-standard communication links - simple to integrate into existing control systems
Any adjustments are performed electronically - minimal maintenance and no drift from adjustable potentiometers
Separate zones can be individually inhibited - you can work on specific areas without affecting the rest of the system
Modular construction - replacement parts if required, which plug straight in
Compliance and Reliability
Validated to IEC 61508 (SIL 1) - demonstrates system dependability
System monitors relay continuously - coil faults are identified immediately without input from you
Internal battery pack - power outs are not a problem. Internal battery pack continuously monitored for
change levels and connection. The system is operational at all times. Option not available on flameproof versions.
