Wireless Gas & Flame Detection
By Edward Naranjo
Product Manager, General Monitors
 General Monitors is pleased to announce its partnership with ELPRO Technologies (Stafford, Australia) in providing wireless technology and communications for its advanced gas and flame detector product lines, which deliver critical protection to people, equipment, and plants engaged in hazardous industries worldwide.
ELPRO, a subsidiary of the MTL Instruments Group, is a global leader in radio telemetry. The company produces a wide range of industrial wireless products for process and manufacturing applications and remains in the forefront of wireless development. Using ELPRO’s wireless devices and ancillary components, General Monitors now provides secure and reliable wireless communication for its gas and flame detector product lines.
Industrial wireless communication continues to gain acceptance in many process instrumentation and safety applications, as did analog outputs and Modbus communications in decades past. Wireless devices today enable plant managers to deploy detectors in hard-to-access areas or places where the cost of a fully wired installation is prohibitive.
Wireless transmitters and receivers also allow users to combine different protocol devices into a common network. The wireless extension of industrial automation buses (e.g., Ethernet, wireless HART, Profibus) also facilitates the integration of multiple automation local area networks (LANs) in different sections of a plant.
