5 Common Signs Your Gas Detector System Needs Service—Fast

5 Common Signs Your Gas Detector System Needs Service—Fast

A gas detector is the first line of defense in protecting worker safety. These systems alert teams to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, combustible gases, natural gas, and other hazardous gases before they become life-threatening. But when small warning signs are ignored, gas detectors may not perform when they are needed most. That can mean […]

Can You Integrate a Gas Detection System With an Existing Building Automation System?

Can You Integrate a Gas Detection System With an Existing Building Automation System?

In many facilities, gas detection systems are installed as standalone safety equipment. But these systems don’t have to operate in isolation. In fact, they shouldn’t. Gas detection system integration with your existing building automation system (BAS) improves safety, speeds up response times, and gives your team the visibility they need to stay ahead of risk. […]

Why Are Gas Detection Systems So Expensive?

Why Are Gas Detection Systems So Expensive?

If you have ever received a quote for a gas detection system and felt some sticker shock, you are not alone. Gas detectors are not like fire alarms or basic safety devices. They are precision-built instruments that must identify dangerous gases in real time and in challenging environments. In many cases, the sensors themselves are […]

What to Expect During Gas Detection System Commissioning

What to Expect During Gas Detection System Commissioning

Before your gas detection system can protect people and equipment, it needs to be tested, calibrated, and verified. That process is called gas detection commissioning. Commissioning confirms that gas detectors, alarms, relays, and building automation systems all work together the way they’re supposed to. Without it, a system might appear functional but fail to respond […]

When Should You Retrofit Your Gas Detection System?

If your facility relies on an older gas detection system, there may come a point where repairs and calibration just aren’t enough. Retrofitting means upgrading key components like sensors and control panels while reusing the existing wiring and infrastructure. It’s a practical way to improve performance, reduce costs, and stay in compliance with current safety […]

7 Myths Around Gas Detection Systems

Gas detection systems protect people, property, and operations. But many decision-makers misunderstand how they work or where they’re needed. Misconceptions are especially common in industries like vehicle maintenance and repair, logistics, commercial property, cold storage, and light manufacturing, where gas hazards aren’t always obvious. False assumptions can lead to poor system design, overlooked risks, and [...]

Ethanol Detection Solutions: Ensuring Safety in Distilleries and Breweries

In the dynamic world of distilleries and breweries, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance is of paramount importance. These facilities often handle ethanol, a highly flammable substance, in various stages of production. Ethanol detection plays a crucial role in maintaining a safe environment, protecting valuable assets, and complying with regulations. In this blog post, we'll explore [...]
