Simtronics is pleased to announce the put on the market of the GD1, a new generation of open path detector.

The GD1 innovates by creating a new standard of toxic gas detection manufacturer. At the heart of the detector is a tuneable laser diode suppliers that eliminates environmental effects from sun, rain, and fog. The professional laser scans single absorption lines where there is no interference from other gases. This new technology constitutes an important progress with exceptional performances and a extreme reduced maintenance.
Unlike traditional methods for detecting H2S (MOS or EC cell), the GD1 needs no recalibration and can replace multiple standard detectors to cover the same risk. Compared to traditional detectors the GD1 offers:
• Faster detection
• Reduced maintenance
• A life calibration
• Fast acting

The GD1 is also available with a dual output gas configuration, Methane and Hydrogen Sulphide.
Supplied with worldwide hazardous area approvals. Suitable for use in SIL 2 systems.
With its level of detection lower than 5ppm and it is faster response time (T90 < 5 sec) the GD1 is ideal to ensure the personnel safety on petrochemical installations onshore or offshore or for the sites of treatment of waster water.
Furthermore, the GD1 offers real cost savings, using a single professional transmitter / receiver pair, the detector covers distances of up to 100 metres. Installation and maintenance costs are reduced as fewer devices are needed to cover the same risk as several point detectors.
As with all Simtronics’ products, the GD1 is designed for early detection of hazardous events. It’s built to work safely in extreme areas and withstand the hardest environments onshore and offshore.
