OVERVIEW
The Metro Controller is capable of monitoring up to 250 remote addressable
flammable and toxic Metro gas detectors. Together they form the
Metro system designed to protect people from flammable and toxic
gas hazards commonly found in car parks, tunnels or other areas
where automotive vehicles may operate.
The Metro Controller provides automatic control of ventilation
systems that maintain gas levels at or below a safe level. Where
gas levels rise above maximum exposure limits, the Metro system
raises alarms to instigate site evacuation. By integrating the gas
monitoring systems and ventilation control, not only are harmful
gases kept to safe levels but building running costs are also minimized.
The system allows for two separate radial circuits up to 1Km (3000
feet) long using industry standard cable. Each circuit provides
power and communications for up to 125 addressable detectors. The
AC system design ensures no booster power supplies are required
to achieve long cable runs, greatly simplifying the system specification,
installation and operation.
Equipment installation and commissioning is kept as simple as possible.
A wall-mounting bracket is provided to which the slimline Controller
is fitted. All cables and conduits enter the lower side of the Controller
via the pre-formed knockouts. Clearly marked terminals ensure cabling
connections are rapidly completed.
Once the Controller and detectors are installed and powered up,
the Controller automatically recognizes which detectors are fitted.
Adjustment of detector settings can be made via an infrared remote
control unit as required.
With up to 250 addressable gas detectors fitted to a system, each
with 4 alarm levels, up to 1000 alarm events can be detected by
the Controller, all of which are logged for later review. Grouping,
voting and activation of up to eight fully programmable relays can
be set up via the push-button interface or optional PC software.
Each relay can be configured for normally energized/de-energized,
latching/non-latching and on/off delay operation. Manual override
switches for all relays are included as standard in the Controller.
In addition, system operation may be forced remotely via a Remote
Override Box if required.
Easy to specify, install and operate, used as a stand-alone gas
monitoring system or as part of a wider building management system,
the Metro gas detection system ensures people are kept safe from
gas hazards and building operating costs are minimized.
