SKU
C011184X97
These Crowcon Vortex FP are ATEX-certified Exd Flameproof gas detector control panels for use in Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous areas such as on offshore production platforms or within refineries. They offer all of the standard Vortex features, as well as a display fitted with magnetic switches which enable the system to be interrogated or inhibited without opening the system enclosure.
The 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.
With up to 24 relays, the enclosure is capable of accommodating up to 4 intrinsically safe (I.S.) barriers for interfacing with I.S. detectors and alarms.
Simple to Use
- All the day-to-day operations can be completed via push buttons on the front panel - removing the requirement for hot-work permits to complete everyday tasks
- Fault and alarm LEDs on the front panel - providing an instant indication of system status
- Alarm and channel settings can be adjusted at the panel
Highly Flexible
- Uses Vortex PC software - customisation is easy and user-friendly
- Uses industry-standard Modbus RTU (or optionally Profibus) communications links - simple to integrate with PLC, DCS, or SCADA control systems
Robust and Reliable
- Water and dust resistant to IP66
- All relays are monitored continuously - ensuring full functionality
