The Crowcon Detective+ is a multi-gas temporary area monitor for use in turnaround/shutdown procedures, hot work maintenance, confined space entry work and many other utility, construction and oil and gas industry applications. Go solo or link together using Detective Net to form a perimeter, the Detective+ gives a loud and clear alarm providing effective warning of gas hazards. The rugged, water and impact-resistant design makes the Detective+ the ideal choice for your transportable gas detection needs.
Rugged and robust, the Crowcon Detective+ features either fixed or folding legs and a protective frame that allows stacking for easier storage. Available with an optional internal pump for sampling versatility, alarms are announced with an extremely loud sounder, while multiple beacons ensure 360-degree visibility.
The Detective+ can be equipped with infra-red (IR) sensors, providing either CO2 detection, or allowing higher levels of flammable gas monitoring. IR sensors also provide immunity to the poisoning effects which standard flammable gas sensors can suffer from. This extends sensor life and further increases measurement confidence in tough applications such as water treatment plants and certain chemical or hydrocarbon processing facilities. Detective+ can be specified with a wide range of sensors, including hydrogen, to monitor a wide range of gases which pose a variety of threats.
