GW 399

Multi-Channel Gas Warning System
GW 399

Application

The multi-channel gas warning system GW 399 continuously monitors the ambient air and provides an early warning of hazardous, explosive and non-combustible gases and vapours.

Fields of Application

  • Monitoring of heating systems
  • Garages and tunnels
  • Liquid gas rooms
  • Laboratories
  • Cold storage houses and air conditioning plants
  • Plastic processing plants
  • Chemical industries
  • Paint manufacturing plants
  • Concentration measurement of O2
  • and many more

Features

  • Use of various types of measurement sensor
  • Direct warning status recognition, via different colors of the LC-Display background illumination
  • Menu-aided operation, via 2 keys
  • Three alarm thresholds individually adjustable from 5-100% of test range
  • Three floating alarm outputs for driving additional warning and control systems
  • Floating relay contacts
  • Serial output, RS232 or RS485
  • 4-20 mA current output
  • Different housings are available e. g. 19" rack, panel mounting, wall-mounted housing
  • Up to 10 units per rack
  • 1 control unit configurable as master, for supervision of central alarms and communication control systems
  • High degree of reliability
  • Low current consumption
  • Possibility of uninterruptible power supply
