Product Overview
Up to 72 points of continuous gas detection. Vertex combines the most advanced Chemcassette, software and optics technologies into a flexible, easy-to-use, and reliable gas monitoring system.
Flexible
Start your Vertex™ System with as little as eight points. As your monitoring needs change, Vertex™ expands, offering you up to 72 points of continuous gas detection. Place your sampling points up to 400 feet (120 meters) from the system. There is a choice of universal analyser modules and/or pyrolyzer analyzers.
Reliable
Vertex™ offers powerful, built-in system redundancy as standard equipment to
effectively safeguard against downtime.
- Back-up pump and internal power module
- Chemcassette® technology provides physical evidence of gas event
- System data back-up. If main data acquisition PC fails, analyzers continue to monitor, log data and alarm
- Drip resistant cap for system protection from overhead leaks
- Automated leak test with line integrity option
Additional Features and Benefits:
Easy to use
- Touch screen for easy access to data
- Software updates via CD-ROM or network to all system components
- Configuration profile editing and data retrieval are all achievable without taking unit offline
- Radio frequency identification tag (RFID) ensures Chemcassettes are installed into appropriately programmed analyzer, eliminating human error
- On-line help system
Security
- Multiple levels of password protection
- Reconfigure security setup without taking unit offline
Low cost of ownership
