Features & Benefits
Touch screen for easy data access
Low cost of ownership with Chemcassettes
One systems monitors up to 9 gas families/more than 40 gases

Product Overview

Up to 72 points of continuous gas detection. Vertex combines the most advanced Chemcassette, software and optics technologies into a flexible, easy-to-use, and reliable gas monitoring system. 

Flexible
Start your Vertex™ System with as little as eight points. As your monitoring needs change, Vertex™ expands, offering you up to 72 points of continuous gas detection. Place your sampling points up to 400 feet (120 meters) from the system. There is a choice of universal analyser modules and/or pyrolyzer analyzers.

Reliable
Vertex™ offers powerful, built-in system redundancy as standard equipment to
effectively safeguard against downtime.

Back-up pump and internal power module
Chemcassette® technology provides physical evidence of gas event
System data back-up. If main data acquisition PC fails, analyzers continue to monitor, log data and alarm
Drip resistant cap for system protection from overhead leaks
Automated leak test with line integrity option
Additional Features and Benefits:

Easy to use
Touch screen for easy access to data
Software updates via CD-ROM or network to all system components
Configuration profile editing and data retrieval are all achievable without taking unit offline
Radio frequency identification tag (RFID) ensures Chemcassettes are installed into appropriately programmed analyzer, eliminating human error
On-line help system
 
Security

Multiple levels of password protection
Reconfigure security setup without taking unit offline
 
Low cost of ownership

Vertex’s™ smaller footprint and greater density of points reduce your cost per point
Eight points per analyser lowers Chemcassette® costs
Maximized 72 point systems provide low cost per point as compared to other continuous monitors
One system monitors up to nine gas families and more than 40 gases
You can split your sample to more than one analyzer
 
Easy to maintain 

Vertex™ uses cost-effective XP Chemcassettes®, providing up to three months of continuous monitoring
Simplified replacement of Chemcassettes® and automated optics verification
No dynamic calibration required
No flow balancing
Easy access to analyzers, pumps, power supplies and touch screen from front panel
Onscreen interactive electronic manual with integral video
 
Advanced communications 
Built-in configurable PLCs with optional 176 relay contacts
Standard OPC interface for easy integration into your existing factory automation system or HMI
Optional Ethernet/CIP, LonWorks®, DeviceNetTM, DF1 Interface, Profibus, Modbus Plus, Modbus/TCP, ControlNet, or isolated 4-20mA outputs available
Optional Chemcam camera permits viewing of stain, locally or remotely, for proof of gas event. Image is electronically saved for future retrieval.
Optional remote control/viewing software enables total visualization of the monitor screens at a remote PC.
