Boiler Rooms

Methane (natural gas) and oxygen are the gases most commonly monitored in boiler rooms. Methane is sensed in the LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) range by the CGT which is housed in an explosion-proof enclosure. The CGT will sense most combustibles.

To monitor oxygen, the EC-O₂ is an extremely stable gas sensor that operates for as long as ten years in normal ambient oxygen levels (20.9%). It can be monitored by most Manning Systems readout units for either up-scale or down-scale alarm.

Manning Systems can supply a single point gas sensor system, four channel system, or multi-channel unit that monitors as many as ten sensors at a single master safety control panel. All readouts have relay outputs to notify security personnel, activate fans, shut off valves or refrigeration equipment, etc. Sensors give a linear 4/20 mA output and can tie directly to a PLC or building control system.

The new AirAlert™ 96d multi-channel gas monitoring system adds addressable RS-485 Modbus communication protocol to the broad line of Manning Systems readout/alarm units. A total of 96 gas sensors and relay modules can be linked to a single controller.
