Monicon 4 Channel
4 Channel Gas Detector
The 4 Channel Gas Monitor is an innovative, cost
effective, wall mounted unit.

• Individual voltage free relay contacts
• Advanced digital readout
• User programmable
• Low power consumption
• Built-in battery backup circuit
• Alarm inhibit during calibration	
• Individual 4-20mA analogue outputs
• Sealed to IP65 rating
• RS485 communications interface
• Remote reset and accept terminals

Digital Signal Processing
The 4 Channel Gas is also compatible with a wide range of third party
4-20mA transmitters including temperature probes. Monicon have
pioneered a novel approach to significantly reduce false alarms by
processing the sensor signal through an advanced analysis program in the
microprocessor.

User Customisation for Alarm Settings
Simple to use and microprocessor controlled, the 4 Channel Gas Monitor
is menu assisted and fully user programmable for alarm setpoints, relay
options, range, sensor type, gas type and many other parameters in a user
friendly manner offering unique flexibility and control over the system

Project Driven, Bespoke Solutions
Using our expert engineering knowledge, the a1-cbiss project team
produce the design, specify equipment and integrate the system before
it’s delivered to site by our service and maintenance team

“

It offers a robust, easy to use, cost
effective approach to providing
an effective gas detection system
where safety matters

“

KEYBENEFITS

It is designed to operate in conjunction with the T100 toxic gas detector
and the highly successful CGS500 combustible gas sensor to monitor a
range of toxic gases, combustible gases and oxygen in a wide range of
applications
