The detective+ is a rugged, water and impact resistant multi-gas monitor for temporary areas. Ideal for use in turnaround/shutdown procedures, hot work maintenance, confined space entry work and many other utility, construction and oil and gas industry applications.

Overview

Rugged and robust, 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.

Detective+ may now also 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.

Versatile and user friendly

  • Infrared Sensors Available – allows sampling of highly flammable gas levels and carbon dioxide. They are also unaffected by poisoning and have a very fast response time.
  • Built-In Pump Option – provides sampling versatility
  • Built-In Display – provides clear information and allows identification of gas hazard

Rugged, tripod design

  • Raised Sensor Apertures – prevents water ingress
  • Folding Leg Option – allows stacking for easier storage and transportation
  • IP65 Specifications – for use in challenging environments
  • Triple Leg Design – Increases unit physical visibility and is the perfect height to allow 360 gas inlet

Loud and clear alarms

  • 12 Detective+ With Cables Can Be Networked Together Forming Effective Perimeter defence – Units on the network can be placed up to 100m from each other and if one alarms, all units on the network alarm.
  • Intelligent And Flexible Units Sending An Alarm Flash Faster – provides guarantee to the use that the unit is functioning properly and they are protected
  • Audible And Visual Confidence Blip
  • Vivid Red LED Clusters for visual alarm
  • Multiple Beacons – ensures 3600 visibility

Gases and Ranges

Required ranges and alarms may vary by country and application and these can be configured as required.

Gas Range Typical Alarms

Oxygen (O2)  0-25%  19% & 23%
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S)  0-50 ppm 10 ppm
Carbon monoxide (CO)  0-500 ppm 30 ppm
Sulphur dioxide (SO2)  0-10 ppm  2 ppm
Chlorine (Cl2)  0-5 ppm  0.5 ppm
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)  0-10 ppm  2 ppm
Phosphine (PH3) 0-5 ppm  0.5 ppm
Ammonia (NH3)  0-50 ppm  25 ppm
 Ammonia (NH3)  0-1000 ppm n/a
Hydrogen (non-flammable levels)  0-2000 ppm n/a
Hydrogen cyanide (HCN)  0-25ppm  10ppm
Hydrogen chloride (HCl)*/+  0-10 ppm  5ppm
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2)+  0-1 ppm  0.1 ppm

+ Reactive gas, care required during sampling, contact Crowcon
for details.

Infrared sensors

Infrared (IR) sensors for flammable gas can be supplied as a single range, 0-100% LEL, utilising a single display channel, or as a dual range, 0-100% LEL/0-100% volume, which then occupies two display channels.

Carbon dioxide sensors are supplied as 0-5% volume. Only one IR sensor can be fitted, and IR sensors can only be used in combination with oxygen and toxic sensors.

Gas Range Typical Alarms
Flammable gas  0-100 LEL 20% LEL
Flammable gas  0-100% v/v  None
Available for methane, propane, butane or ethylene
Carbon dioxide (CO2)  0 to 5% v/v 0.5 and 1.5% v/v
