Each Ax60+ unit is scalable to meet the specific needs of the customer. Up to four analysing sensors can be networked with the central monitoring station. The units can monitor for O2, CO2 or a combination of both gases providing the flexibility most establishments need. Each sensor can handle up to four alarm units which respond with audible and visual indicators when the alarm setting is triggered. The O2 monitoring system incorporates a lead free electrochemical sensor that provides protection from potential O2 depletion caused by foreign gas elements such as nitrogen entering a workspace. The Ax60+ also helps monitor for oxygen enrichment that can occur in workplaces that use pure O2, such as medical laboratories, fire suppression units and facilities using liquid nitrogen. Oxygen enrichment happens when the content of the air in a building or room becomes greater than the normal 21%. When this occurs, there is a higher potential for fires as items that might not normally be considered flammable can catch fire.
Monitoring for carbon dioxide contamination in a workspace is as vital as monitoring simple O2 levels and often for the same reasons. The Analox Ax60+ uses state of the art Nondispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology to monitor for CO2. This process uses infrared light to determine the intensity and level of CO2 in a given workspace.
Analox engineers and product designers developed the Ax60+ to meet the diverse safety needs and regulatory requirements mandated by local, state and federal authorities. In the United States, the Ax60+ has been pre-programmed to meet USA regulations with system alarm setpoints for OSHA, NBIC, NFPA and IFC standards. In Europe, the Ax60+ setpoints utilize the EH40 standard.
- Choose the number of alarm units (up to 4 per sensor, system maximum 8 alarm units)
- Choose between monitoring just O2 levels, CO2 levels or combinations of both
- 2 in built relays
- Audible and visual alarms
- Time weighted average (TWA) alarm
- Quick connect or hard wired installation options
- Kit includes central display unit, CO2 sensor and blue strobe alarm, but you can attach up to four of any combination of CO2 or O2 (other sensors sold separately)
