1.1 System Overview
The Honeywell Analytics Ver tex M™ System
continuously monitors up to 24 remote locations
for toxic gases. It responds to gases that exceed
programmed levels by:
• Triggering alarms and opening event windows
to warn operators of high or low concentrations
• Triggering relays to external devices
• Displaying the location, gas type and gas
concentration
• Storing the alarm information in a database
The Vertex M System provides fast response to a wide
range of gases. Each location may be up to 400 ft
(122 m) from the Vertex M System. The system uses
one or more of Honeywell Analytics’ Chemcassette
®
analyzers, with or without pyrolyzer, to provide a
monitoring system tailored to meet the requirements
of the facility.
The Vertex M System incorporates a range of redundant
and protective features for maximum uptime:
• Intelligent analyzer modules allow one to stop
monitoring with no effect on the remaining
modules
• Power supplies are redundant
• Pumps are redundant
• The system powers up in the same state as
when powered down
• Filters, Chemcassettes
®
and major
components in one of the analyzers can
be replaced while the remaining analyzers
continue to function
Operation can be through an LCD touch screen or
through a local area network (LAN).
