Hidden Gas Detection: Just Got A Lot Safer With Technology

Job sites vary in shapes and sizes. But even the smallest spaces require the highest standard of safety. Think garages, workshops, modules, or confined spaces. Think remote locations, unsuspecting offices, parking lots, buildings and more.

When it comes to hidden gas hazards every location is suspect. It’s the role of leadership and management in corporations to ensure gas safety is a top priority.

Considerations for gas detection devices vary. With many options and variations, safety officials need to ensure they are getting the kind of gas detection products that are specific to their individual needs and delivers on ensuring the well-being of their workforce.

EnviroMed Detection Services of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada is committed to gas detection at the highest levels.

Sensepoint XCL

Sensepoint XRL is a fixed point gas detector with Bluetooth that allows the user to connect the gas detector to a smartphone or tablet running the Sensepoint gas detector app.

Sensepoint XRL is available as a flammable gas detector for the detection of potentially explosive gases or as a toxic gas detector for the detection of a range of toxic gas hazards commonly found in industrial applications.
Winner of both iF and Red Dot design awards, Sensepoint XRL is designed with simple and quick installation in mind. And for initial calibration, all you need is our Sensepoint App on your smartphone and a cylinder of calibration gas — no need for walkie-talkie guidance with the control room. Use the Sensepoint App to create a profile for the detector, choose alarm set points, run test procedures and automatically generate a commissioning report, which you can send from your phone to other stakeholders or store for easy access in a safety inspection. No need for paperwork.

Sensepoint XRL’s smartphone-based experience significantly reduces the time you spend on gas detector maintenance. And when doing maintenance checks, our Sensepoint App puts diagnostic information at your fingertips.

It has bright indicator lights visible from a distance, making it easy to locate a detector requiring maintenance.  And the Bluetooth connection is non-intrusive so there is no need for a hot work permit.

You can also save valuable time with easy reporting on the Sensepoint App. Whether you need a maintenance report for a certain detector or a gas history for a safety audit, just select the right report on the app and send it to other parties — or store it for easy recall.  For a complete gas leak detection system, Sensepoint XRL has the perfect partner in Touchpoint Plus, a configurable, easy-to-use controller for up to sixteen channels of gas detection.

Sensepoint XCL is a fixed gas detector that delivers the safety and compliance you expect. It was designed especially for commercial and light industrial applications, delivering just the right amount of functionality to protect people on your premises and ensure compliance with regulations.

Sensepoint XCL combines a simple yet robust mechanical housing with a gas detector app, so you can use everyday technology to set up and maintain your gas detector — and quickly get back to business.
