Introduction
System Overview
The Honeywell Vertex™ Edge System continuously monitors up to 72 remote locations for toxic
gases. It responds to gases that exceed programmed levels by:
l
Triggering alarms and opening event windows to warn operators of high concentrations;
l
Displaying the location, gas type and gas concentration; and
l
Storing the alarm information in a database.
The Vertex Edge System provides fast response to a wide range of gases. Each location may be up
to 400 ft (122 m) from the Vertex Edge System. The system uses one or more of Honeywell
Analytics’ Chemcassette® analyzers to provide a monitoring system tailored to meet the
requirements of the facility.
The Vertex Edge System incorporates a range of redundant and protective features for maximum
uptime:
l
Pumps are redundant;
l
The system powers up in the same state as when powered down;
l
A single analyzer can exit monitoring when replacing filters, Chemcassettes, and significant
components without impacting the other analyzers.
Operation can be through an LCD touch screen or through a local area network (LAN).
