BW 301-C Offers

Rely on this gas detection controller for safety, energy efficiency, and easy installation of your gas detection network. In addition, with flexible logic capabilities, this controller reduces operational costs.

Features

  • Continuously monitors and controls toxic, combustible, and refrigerant gases as well as oxygen
  • User friendly
  • Zero maintenance
  • Automatic quick self-test and warm-up
  • Continuous alphanumeric display
  • Inexpensive, reliable, and energy efficient
  • Low installation costs
  • Allows for up to 126 zoning groups which can save energy and extend fan and relay life
  • Manages up to 180 events with programmable latching alarms
  • Flexible operation
  • Interchangeable transmitters able to detect different gases
  • Expands to handle up to 96 transmitters or relay modules
  • Programmable time delays
  • Integrated time clock enables scheduling of system operations
  • A full array of visual indicators and integrated 65 dBA alarm levels
  • Fully programmable relays (can be set as fail-safe or not)

Zoning/averaging

This controller offers unique zoning capabilities which permit the averaging and comparison of multiple sensor readings. Zoning can reduce operational costs by ensuring that localized brief fluctuations registered at a single transmitter do not activate relays. For example, a car idling in a parking structure may locally increase reading at a nearby transmitter. Rather than activating a fan as a result of the temporary localized fluctuation, zoning can be used to limit relay activation until the average reading for a zone exceeds a set point. This can reduce the run time of fans, yielding savings in both energy usage and wear and tear. This commercial gas detection controller has the capacity to manage input from three Modbus channels for up to 96 transmitters and up to 50 wireless transmitters that can be associated with up to 126 zones. Transmitters can belong to an unlimited number of zones, providing maximum operational and control flexibility.

Applications

  • Commercial gas detection
  • Parking structures
  • Boiler rooms
