Gas analyzers, sensors and detectors are safety devices used in the commercial, medical, industrial and several other industries. These devices continuously analyze and monitor the concentration of gases in different end use industries, provide life safety and help avoid fire break outs.

Honeywell (NYSE:HON) announced today a new Bluetooth-enabled device that brings connectivity to fixed gas detectors used in the oil and gas, petrochemical and energy industries, enabling workers to use a smart phone to perform mission-critical maintenance and avoid costly downtime in potentially explosive environments.

The Protégé MasterDock II (MD II) is an expandable, smart docking station that is compatible with the complete line of Protégé portable monitors. The device features an intuitive touch screen interface and can accommodate up to six gas bottles simultaneously. Up to 10 of the docking stations can be networked to bump, calibrate or charge 10 identical monitors or any combination of the Protégé family of monitors simultaneously.

The Protégé SG is a reusable, easy-to-use single gas monitor that’s configurable to detect 13 different gases. The portable device features interchangeable smart plug-and-play sensors, offering both low power IR and electrochemical sensor technologies.

Explosive gas monitoring is all about safety. Numerous factors must be assessed and analyzed. Sensor capabilities play a vital role — fast response times and wide temperature ranges are musts. You also need to know when to use catalytic or infrared (IR) gas detector technology.
