Honeywell gas detection

Gas detection as a working system, not as a box on a shelf


VERTEX GmbH supplies the Honeywell gas detection portfolio and takes responsibility for what happens around it: the measuring point concept, the installation, the calibration record and the spare parts.

Overview

Three groups of equipment, one chain of responsibility


Gas detection projects fail in predictable places: the wrong measuring point, a detector that suits the gas but not the zone classification, a controller that cannot be connected to the existing control system, or a calibration routine that nobody budgeted. We approach the equipment selection from the process and the risk assessment, and we quote the service life of the installation together with the hardware.

Portable and wireless

Personal single-gas and multi-gas detectors, confined space monitoring, transportable area monitors, photoionisation detectors for volatile organic compounds, docking stations and fleet management software.

Portable and wireless range

Fixed detection, flame and controllers

Point and open path infrared detectors, transmitters for toxic, oxygen and flammable gases, ultrasonic leak detection, flame detectors and wall-mounted or rack-mounted control systems.

Fixed and flame range

High tech and specialty gases

Chemcassette® based parts-per-billion monitoring, extractive single point detection and multi-point infrared systems for semiconductor fabrication, laboratories and specialty gas handling.

High tech range

Beyond gas detection we supply Honeywell field instruments for pressure, temperature, level and flow, and the control platforms that use them.

A detector that is not calibrated, not documented and not in the right place is not a safety measure. It is a liability with a display.

Our scope

What we do beyond the delivery note


Measuring point concept

Which gases, which release scenarios, which ventilation situation, which zone classification — and from that, how many detectors, of which technology, at which height and in which position.

Read more

Installation and commissioning

Mounting, cabling, connection to the controller and the plant control system, functional testing of the alarm chain, and handover documentation for the operator.

Read more

Calibration and bump testing

Calibration with test gas, bump testing routines, and automated docking for portable fleets so that the compliance record is produced by the process rather than by a spreadsheet.

Read more

Spare parts and consumables

Sensors, filters, batteries, Chemcassette® tapes, test gas and calibration accessories — planned in advance rather than ordered during a shutdown.

Read more

Retrofit and migration

Assessment of installed systems, replacement strategy for detectors and controllers that are approaching end of support, and staged migration without losing coverage.

Read more

Training and emergency logistics

Operator and maintenance training on the delivered equipment, plus expedited parts supply when a plant cannot restart without a working measuring point.

FAQ

Questions purchasers and plant engineers ask


Who supplies Honeywell gas detection in Germany together with engineering and maintenance?

VERTEX GmbH in Krefeld. We are an authorised distributor for Honeywell gas detection and we deliver the engineering around it: detector placement and measuring point concept, installation and commissioning, calibration and bump testing, spare parts, retrofit of existing systems and operator training. Most suppliers in the German market sell the instrument only; the installation and the service contract are then someone else’s problem.

What is the difference between portable, fixed and high tech gas detection?

Portable detection protects the individual: the person carries a single-gas or multi-gas instrument, or a transportable area monitor is placed at the work site. Fixed detection protects the plant: detectors are permanently installed at the points where a leak is expected and are wired to a controller and the plant control system. High tech systems are used where the substances are toxic at parts-per-billion level, for example in semiconductor manufacturing and specialty gas handling, and they sample the air continuously through tubing from many points to a central analyser.

Can an existing gas detection installation be extended or retrofitted?

Usually yes, and it is one of our regular tasks. We survey what is installed, check which detectors and controllers are still supported, and propose a route: replacing sensors or transmitters while keeping the cabling, migrating to a current controller generation, or adding measuring points. The result is a written concept with the equipment list and the effect on the existing approval documentation.

Do you also calibrate equipment that was not bought from you?

Yes. Calibration, bump testing and maintenance are offered as a service for Honeywell equipment regardless of where it was originally purchased. Tell us the device types and quantities and we will propose an interval and a documentation routine.
