Crowcon F-Gas IR Fixed-Point Detector

The Crowcon F-Gas Detector is a fixed-point infrared gas detector designed for the reliable detection of refrigerant gases and sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) in non-hazardous environments. Utilizing advanced infrared sensing technology, the F-Gas Detector provides accurate, stable, and low-maintenance gas monitoring for plant rooms, switchgear rooms, refrigeration systems, HVAC installations, and other applications where refrigerant gas leakage poses safety, environmental, or operational risks.

The detector can be connected to virtually any control or monitoring system via configurable analogue outputs and is designed to support compliance with European F-Gas regulations.
