The Crowcon Gas-Pro has been designed for work in confined space

Working in confined spaces is difficult at the best of times. Operators often have to wear full PPE (personal protective equipment), are usually harnessed and may be carrying tools and equipment.

The last thing a worker in this arduous environment needs to worry about is his or her gas detector. It should be designed specifically for confined space entry (CSE) applications.

Crowcon has undertaken extensive market research among users and fleet managers. This has identified five essential features:

• Simple to use
• Bright, easy to read display
• Long battery life (for at least one full shift, and preferably two)
• Robust design and construction
• Reliable detection (unreliable detectors can quickly holt a project)

With this feedback in mind, Crowcon went back to the drawing board. The result is the newly launched Crowcon Gas-Pro.

Specific CSE features of the new Crowcon Gas-Pro include:

Compact size
The Crowcon Gas-Pro has been kept to a minimum size and it is designed so as not to get in the way of other PPE devices.

Top Mounted Display
Unlike other gas detection instrument, Crowcon has developed the Gas-Pro with a bright, top-mount display.

+ve Safety
Unique to the Crowcon Gas-Pro, +ve Safety provides tri-colour status indication, giving quick and effective monitoring of gas test, calibration, over range and recent alarm notification.

Multiple Gas Sensors
Multiple gas sensors for up to five potentially hazardous gases from an extremely wide range of sensors and configurations.

Enhanced Construction
The Crowcon Gas-Pro is extremely rugged and has IP65 &IP67 ingress protection.

Internal Pump
An internal pump means that pre-entry testing can be done quickly and easily.

The Crowcon Gas-Pro is a new category of product designed for just one purpose – ensuring gas safety in confined spaces. Free from worries about what risks might come with compromise, personnel entering these spaces will be more focussed on their core activities, safe in the knowledge that their gas detector is focused on its core activity.
