Fixed Gas Detector

GDS 305 Sequential Gas Sampling System 1-48 Way

GDS 305 sequential gas sampling system

The GDS 305 system is designed to monitor gas levels from a number of sample-points, targeted at situations where the positioning of conventional gas sensors may not be practical. This may be due to equipment security, cable routing, access for detector head installation/maintenance, harsh environment or a cost effective means of monitoring designated hazardous areas, typically-tunnels, marine applications, underground/high level voids, process control, landfill, multi storey car parks, brewing, horticulture, superstore multi refrigeration units, Bio-fuel storage compounds.

About this product

The GDS GasVac 305 is the largest GDS sequential sampling system: it draws air in turn from up to 48 sample points to one central unit and can measure up to 8 gas types. Choose it over the GDS 306 (up to 20 points) when a site has many monitoring points, or the GDS 301 when one line is enough. We supply, install, commission and service all three.
