General Monitors designs fire and gas systems with a modular, flexible approach to meet unique customer requirements for flame and gas detection. We employ the highest quality components in hardwired card-based systems, PLC-based systems or addressable systems networked via computer.
Our new FM approved HazardWatch Fire and Gas Detection System is an innovative, modular system that combines highly reliable programmable logic controller (PLC) technology with General Monitors' advanced gas and flame field devices. It is highly scalable, making it suitable for small systems to large plant-wide applications. Offering intelligence, flexibility and reliability, the HazardWatch System's controller hardware configuration and software has been tested by Factory Mutual to verify NFPA 72 compliance. This includes certification for central station monitoring, as both a fire alarm panel and gas controller, for fault tolerant digital communications and as a releasing control panel.
In smaller applications, hardwired systems are a reliable and cost-effective approach to fire and gas detection. Detectors and card-based controllers with communication cards are wired in appropriate locations. All indicators and alarms are displayed on a front panel that requires no operator intervention other than pressing the Acknowledge or Reset buttons.
For mid-size to larger applications, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) has evolved as a highly intelligent controller. PLCs reliably detect alarms and initiate an orderly system control or shutdown in emergencies.
Their advantages include:
General Monitors designs addressable flame and gas detection systems consisting of a host, such as a PLC or PC, connected to remote field devices.
Addressable fire and gas detection systems offer several benefits:
