Leak Detection Overview
There are different reasons why gas leak
detection is needed and an endless list of
benefits from having a solution in place. Here
are some of the key reasons:

Client Testimonials
“
W
e are extremely pleased with the a1-cbiss gas leak detection system. It is both compact and
easy to install with a choice of 16, 24 or 32 sampling channels. It is extremely versatile with
its ability to sample two different gases simultaneously from one sensor, utilising a vast list of
refrigerant gas types. This makes it unique within its competition base.
The door mounted user screen is clear and easy to configure, with step-by-step instructions to
follow. Another unique feature of the a1-cbiss gas leak detection system is the ability to configure
each of the 16 volt-free relays to be triggered from any single or multiple sampling channels.
B
ut the great advantage this system has over all of its rivals is the ability to connect via a local
IP network to an RDM Data Manager (widely used world-wide for monitoring and controlling
refrigeration systems), giving the user/s the ability to configure it, monitor and report the
complete gas detection system from both the RDM Data Manager and remotely via the internet.

aksmere has developed a strong relationship with a1-cbiss over recent years and worked
closely to provide a flexible, robust and extremely reliable refrigerant leak detection solution
for our mutual clients. The ARMS system offers flexibility in terms of multi-gas measurement
(Combined CO2 HFC’s or Hydrocarbons), integration with control/management systems and
this, combined with excellent system support, ensures that a1-cbiss can be trusted to deliver an
efficient/effective leak detection solution for their clients.

e have developed a strong rapport with Karl over the past 3 years to ensure a professional
relationship. I have found the a1-cbiss panel to be practical and easy to use thanks to onboard
software and the touch screen interface. The service back up team has been excellent and fully
supportive when servicing the refrigerant monitoring systems.
