A gas detection control panel is the central management unit of a fixed gas detection system — receiving detector signals, processing alarm levels, and triggering outputs across the installation. Our range covers systems from compact small-installation panels to large multi-zone systems, with ATEX, SIL1, SIL2, and MED certified options.

Control panel selection is driven by four practical requirements: the number of detector inputs needed, the output configuration for alarms and interlocks, the communication architecture of the installation, and the certification requirements of the site.
Input capacity - the number of detector points the panel can manage - is the primary sizing factor. Panels should always be specified with headroom for future expansion; a panel operating at maximum capacity from day one leaves no room to add detector points as an installation grows or changes.
Communication requirements - whether RS485 integration with a building management system or SCADA platform is needed, and whether open or closed bus architecture is preferred - affect both panel selection and installation design. For safety-critical installations, SIL certification at the panel level provides documented evidence of system integrity that complements the SIL-rated detectors connected to it.
For marine installations on EU-flagged vessels, MED certification at the control panel level is a requirement that is sometimes overlooked - specifying MED-certified detectors without a MED-certified control panel leaves the system incomplete from a regulatory standpoint.
Our team can advise on control panel selection, system architecture, and the documentation needed for class society inspections, regulatory audits, and project handover.
