Crowcon T4, Portable Gas Detection In Confined Spaces.

The Crowcon T4 is the latest addition to the range of Crowcon portable gas detectors and provides protection in confined spaces against the four most common gas hazards. These hazards being carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, flammable gases and oxygen depletion.

Key Facts And Features Of The Crowcon T4 Gas Detector

The many advanced features of the Crowcon T4 include rugged, IP65- and IP67-rated housing offering enhanced reliability in harsh environments, 24 hour safety, long battery life, TWA resume feature and an invertible screen.

All of the above features contribute to a low total cost of ownership and make the T4 portable gas detector the ideal choice for providing protection against hazardous gases.

The positive safety traffic light function gives the user constant assurance that the unit is compliant and operating correctly. This is done by a visual green LED light being illuminated when working correctly and flashing red when the unit needs attention.

Other key features include:

Easy one button operation
Clip on filter plates
Multi gas detection

Crowcon T4

The Crowcon T4 offers users a compact, portable and easy to use solution to gas detection problems and the one button function means the detector can be used when wearing gloves.

These features make the T4 perfect for applications in industries including oil and gas, petrochemical, wastewater and processing plants.

The quick view function of the Crowcon T4 enables the configuration details to be easily and quickly viewed even if the device is not powered by quickly pressing the operator button. The device will then emit an audible blip followed by the LED’s to the right of the display flashing red.

Bump testing of portable gas detectors is a vital, regular test that ensures the device is performing as intended. The OSHA defines a bump test as “a qualitative function check in which a challenge gas is passed over the sensor(s) at a concentration and exposure time sufficient to activate all alarm settings.”

It is recommended to bump test your portable gas detector daily before each use.

Crowcon T4 Gas Detector The Complete Solution

Crowcon T4 TWA Resume

When operating most portable gas detectors are operated and turned off, the technology will naturally assume that is the end of the shift. When turned back on the data is reset and ignore all previous measurements.

The TWA resume feature from Crowcon takes an average reading of the gas detectors exposure to gases over an eight hour period and ensures time weighted average (TWA) over an entire work shift.

Invertible Screen And Positive Safety Indicator

The Crowcon T4 features an invertible screen along with a positive safety indicator which is a simple ‘traffic light’ indicator. This can provide visual assurance of operational and compliance status for both users and supervisors.

The green light indicator means the detector is working safely and the red light indicator means the detector requires attention before use.

The backlit display provides a large, clear display and the option to invert the screen 180° for a clear view when worn upside down. The Crowcon T4 offers enhanced protection, complies to safety standards and is an extremely cost effective unit that is easy to adopt and maintain.

The features and functionalities of the T4 gas detector provide extraordinary value and is designed for use in industries such as oil and gas, water and wastewater, utilities and steel production plants.
