Pioneering Self-Test Function Revolutionises Gas Monitors

Jan 27 2015

A groundbreaking gas detector is transforming the industry thanks to its pioneering new AutoTest feature, making it the safest and most reliable gas monitor in the world.

Analytical Technology’s (UK) Intrinsically Safe (IS) F12 gas detector is the only product available that automatically checks itself daily with gas, allowing for safer and more confident monitoring.

This unique monitor is designed to detect and monitor potentially hazardous toxic gas leaks, to ensure the safest working environment for plant operators. The F12(IS) provides an early warning alarm if gas escapes, allowing for timely remedial or protective actions to be undertaken.    

In addition to guaranteeing safety, companies will also save money, thanks to no gas to buy or testers to pay.

ATi’s innovative F12(IS) is the only detector on the market that provides daily automatic self-tests with gas via the AutoTest function, far exceeding any current and potential health and safety regulations.

F12(IS) Features and benefits

  • AutoTest provides reliable response checks to ensure system integrity. 
  • Provides an early warning alarm if gas escapes
  • Can be used to monitor carbon monoxide, an ozone detector and an alcohol detector.
  • Features an intrinsically safe design
  • Minimum maintenance and support costs.
  • Seamlessly and safely integrates with other control systems.

Industry Research

Alarming results from recent industry-wide research into gas detection in the workplace have revealed a number of gas safety concerns.

  • Only 32% of managers were very confident that the gas detectors in their workplace actually worked.
  • 40% of managers indicated concern that gas detection equipment is tested too infrequently.
  • 62% of managers believed their gas detectors were not tested regularly enough.
  • 90% of managers said the frequency of gas detector testing is important for safety.
  • 92% of workers would feel reassured if their organization installed detectors with  AutoTest

Safety First

Michael Strahand, General Manager Europe of Analytical Technology , explains it is crucial to implement reliable gas detection systems with the ability to automatically test themselves daily. “Devices that frequently measure and monitor harmful levels of gas, providing early warning of leaks, are essential for allowing timely remedial or protective actions to be undertaken. Our new generation, highly intelligent monitors offer peace of mind to both managers and plant workers, as the F12(IS) is the only device that automatically checks itself daily with gas to make sure it is functioning.  

 “Our innovative AutoTest technology is set to revolutionise the way gas detectors of the future work”.
