The Honeywell Vertex™ Multi-Point Toxic Gas Monitoring System combines the most advanced Chemcassette®, software and optics technologies into a flexible, reliable monitoring system with up to 72 points of gas detection. 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 analysers. Vertex™ offers powerful, built-in system redundancy as standard equipment to effectively safeguard against downtime.

Reliable:

▪ Back-up pump and internal power module

▪ Chemcassette® technology provides physical evidence of gas event

▪ System data back-up. If the main data acquisition PC fails, analysers 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 the unit offline

▪ Radio frequency identification tag (RFID) ensures Chemcassettes® are installed into the appropriately programmed analyser, eliminating human error

▪ On-line help system

Security:

▪ Multiple levels of password protection

▪ Reconfigure the security setup without taking the unit offline

Low Cost of Ownership:

▪ Vertex’s smaller footprint and greater density of points reduce your cost per point

▪ Eight points per analyser lower Chemcassette® costs

▪ Maximised 72-point systems provide low cost per point as compared to other continuous monitors

▪ One system monitors up to nine gas families and more than 40 gases

▪ You can split your sample into more than one analyser

Easy to Maintain:

▪ Vertex uses cost-effective XP Chemcassettes®, providing up to three months of continuous monitoring

▪ Simplified replacement of Chemcassettes® and automated optics verification

▪ No dynamic calibration required

▪ No flow balancing

▪ Easy access to analysers, pumps, power supplies and touch screens from the front panel
