Parking Garages

Manning Systems has excellent, reliable gas sensing safety equipment to monitor exhaust levels in parking garages. This is usually a simple application, especially when fan control and ventilation are the reasons for sensing.

Solid-state sensors are economical and reliable for many years in the protected environment of a parking garage. The broad-spectrum solid-state sensor will monitor carbon monoxide levels, as well as other contaminants that may be present in the air. The combination of a linear solid-state sensor and internal relay plug is an extremely cost-effective way to trigger ventilation controls and greatly increase the safety and comfort of garage patrons.

If "gas specific" monitoring is required, the EC-CO electrochemical sensor specifically senses carbon monoxide and won't trip in the presence of other gases.

If most vehicles are diesel powered, the AirScan™ iCO₂ infrared carbon dioxide detector without moving parts (i.e., no pumps or filters to replace) will operate with minimal maintenance for many years. Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) levels can also be monitored to indicate exhaust build-up.

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.

Manning Systems offers personal protection portables for the single- and multi-sensor toxic gas detector market. These innovative, low-cost portables are ideal for industrial hygienists, safety managers, petrochemical applications, fire departments, police and emergency responders at risk of exposure to toxic contaminants.
