PERSONAL CO2/O2 MONITOR-ASPIDA

Ideal Solution

Offering audible and visual alarms, data logging and a man down alarm for lone workers, it is an ideal solution to protect staff from the dangers of a leak of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2) or inert gas. The Aspida is an affordable, easy to operate gas detection monitor and is perfect for ensuring safety in areas where the gas is piped, used or stored. It operates using rechargeable battery technology allowing it to run for more than 12 hours continuously between charges.

A Cost Effective Solution

You can’t put a price on safety, reliability and peace of mind. The Analox development team created the ACG+ to combine multiple tasks simultaneously, reducing the need for multiple analyzer units, costly test tubes, and often, extended times in port for repairs. The ACG+ is available in either a fixed location model or convenient portable units. This adaptability provides designers, procurement officers and equipment specialists some options in closed quarter situations.  

An Easy Choice

The Analox ACG+ has been proven effective in military situations around the world. The unit’s continuous and specific monitoring capabilities make it an easy choice for key decision-makers.

Flexibility

No matter a submarine’s size or what country’s flag it flies, it is a fact that no two submarines are the same. Every vessel has unique gas monitoring needs and requires an analytical tool with the versatility to be configured to each vessel’s individual requirements. Each state-of-art DAMS unit is flexible, robust and fully configurable and can monitor up to six different gasses simultaneously from one centralized PLC (programmable logic controller) panel.  

Communication

Easily the most versatile and customizable product in the entire Analox line, DAMS quite simply is a centralized hub that allows multiple analyzers and monitors located in multiple locations throughout a submarine to communicate with each other. With the integral communication to the ships platform management systems, should an alarm be triggered, the duty officer is ideally positioned and instantly informed to take appropriate corrective action without having to leave the Con, or central control room.

 

Testing

The modular design of the DAMS incorporates multiple testing technologies including GFC to monitor carbon monoxide (CO), electrochemical for depleted or enriched oxygen (O2), NDIR for carbon dioxide (CO2) and refrigerants (R134a) and Catalytic Bead technology to test for hydrogen (H2). Each DAMS monitor is ideally suited for conventionally powered diesel/electric powered submarines or air-independent propulsion (AIP) designs.

Each DAMS unit is shock, pressure and temperature compensated and tested to withstand the demanding submarine environment. This highly versatile tool can be tailored to customer-specific requirements for EMC (electro-magnetic capability), durability, vibration and noise interference. Having successfully passed rigorous sea trials and laboratory testing, DAMS units are currently deployed with multiple naval groups throughout the world. In response to highly precise military standards and requirements, DAMS is simple to customize and install. Each unit is user maintainable, and has delivered the proven accuracy and reliability demanded by the submarine community. The modular design of DAMS allows for upgrades and changes to the system as the vessel’s operational requirements change throughout the product’s operational life.

Easy Calibration

Each DAMS system can be calibrated by just one person and is extremely easy to maintain, reducing and often eliminating disruptions to normal operations. Analox also offers multi-gas sensors that can be calibrated simultaneously.
