Equinox Automation has partnered with Danish gas detector manufacture, Geopal System A/S, to be the New Zealand distributor for their high quality European manufactured flammable and toxic gas detectors.
The Geopal GP-NOVA stand-alone gas detector is the flagship model in the Geopal range. The GP-NOVA is an adaptable gas detector for detection of flammable gases and toxic gases found in industrial workplaces. The GP-NOVA can be customised with IR, electrochemical or catalytic sensors to cover a wide range of target gases which includes the following target gas examples:
- Methane
- Propane
- Butane
- All hydrocarbon based gases.
- Ethanol
- Methanol
- Hydrogen
- Hydrogen Chloride
- H2S
- Oxygen
- Carbon Dioxide
- Carbon Monoxide
- Ammonia
- Refrigeration Gases - R407C, R404A, R134A
For general hydrocarbon based flammable gases found in natural gas (methane) an IR sensor is most suitable for long term calibration stability.
The GP-NOVA is equipment with two user configurable gas alarm with associated relay contact outputs and a fault relay contact, the detector has a 4-20mA output for LEL% monitoring back to a Fire & Gas System.
The GP-NOVA has a built-in interface for monitoring and configuration. The detector can be integrated in the 3rd party Fire & Gas System but is also specially designed to connect directly to devices that carry out executive action to turn on local sirens or trip electrical systems to remove ignition sources for flammable gas detection applications and keep personnel safe.
Geopal have developed an easy to use mobile app that can be used to monitor, bump test and calibrate the GP-NOVA gas detector. The mobile app uses Bluetooth to connect to the detector which uses security protocols to ensure the detector configurable parameters cannot be changed without the correct authorisation.
The GP-NOVA is a rugged and durable, designed to withstand the harsh conditions commonly found in industrial settings. It complies with industry standards such as ATEX, IECEx, UL and CSA for safety and performance.
Overall, the Geopal GP-Nova gas detector is a highly advanced and versatile gas detection device that is designed to keep industrial workers safe and informed in a wide range of environments. With its advanced sensor technology, user-friendly interface, and built-in data logger, the GP-Nova is an excellent choice for anyone in need of a reliable and accurate gas detector for flammable gases, toxic gases, and refrigeration gases.
