Crowcon Vortex Basic Elements (No Power Supply) - Optional Panel Mount Display

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 optional panel-mounted vortex is fitting into an existing panel or door and offers a wide range of PSU and battery options.

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.
