Vortex
Vortex is the powerful package that has flexibility built-in. With up to 12 channels of gas including up to 3 of fire, Vortex can be customised to meet your site requirements, however complex, without the need for extensive cabling. All this and it is simplicity itself to operate and maintain.
Simple to use

Vortex offers all the flexibility you will need while still being simple to operate. All the day to day operations can be completed via push buttons on the front panel. The display panel shows the fault and alarm levels for all the channels but the LEDs only light when a hazard or fault is detected. Thus the whole system can be checked at a glance. Even when there is a need to change the alarm or channel settings all of these adjustments can be made at the enclosure without the need for additional equipment.
Ultimate flexibility

Vortex can be configured to match all of your site requirements, whatever they may be, with an absolute minimum of wiring. Each channel has 1 fault and 3 levels of alarm which can be combined in any pattern: voting, to trigger up to a maximum of 32 output relays. Customisation is easy too. It can be factory set to your requirements or altered at any time by a PC using the Vortex PC software. This allows extensive systems to be configured without the need for complex cabling. Vortex uses industry standard communication links so it is simple to integrate it with your existing control system.
Robust & reliable

You can rely on Vortex because it has been tested to the highest environmental standards. It is rated IP65 for dust and water ingress. Not only does it meet all the current legislation, but it also has been designed to meet the latest gas detection EMC standards. For your safety all the relays are monitored continuously: coil faults are identified immediately ensuring system integrity. Power failures are not a problem as Vortex has its own internal battery back-up which is monitored continuously for connection integrity and charge levels. Vortex has been validated to the functional safety standard IEC 61508 (SIL 1).
Easy maintenance

Vortex has been specially designed to make servicing and maintenance simple and convenient. The modular construction means that replacement parts simply plug in. Space inside the enclosure has been maximised to improve access for cable termination so that cabling is easy. Each zone can be inhibited separately to allow you to work on a specific area without affecting the rest of the system. All adjustments are performed electronically thus the problems of drift from adjustable potentiometers has been removed reducing maintenance to a minimum.
Systems Options
In addition to the standard wall-mounted panel, Vortex is also available in modular and hazardous area certified versions. Vortex Rack is supplied with a standard 19 display panel and input/output modules, PSU and batteries for fitment within any standard 19 enclosure. Vortex Panel is designed for flush-mounting into any door or panel. Vortex FP is ATEX certified for use in Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous areas, such as on oil production vessels and within industrial analyser shelters.
