The GDS-95 Alarm Station and Repeater
in an integral part of the GDS Corp wire-
less gas detection system, providing com-
mon alarm relays and range-enhancing RF
repeater capability in a single device.
Combined Alarm Status
Able to monitor up to sixteen remote
GASMAX gas monitors, the GDS-95
features four common alarm relays (A1,
A2, A3 and FAULT) that reflect the status
of the remote devices in an “OR” configuration. In addition, the GDS-95 includes a
real-time clock and event log that records
the time and date of all alarm activation
and deactivation events. The four internal
SPDT relays are rated at 5A, sufficient to
power a local strobe light or audible horn.
The status and % full scale reading for any
received GASMAX monitor are available
via the magnetic keypad-driven, user friendly interface.
Repeater Functionality
If environmental conditions are such that
a GASMAX signal cannot reliably reach
the designated controller / receiver due to
distance or obstructions, the GDS-95 can
be programmed to receive and retransmit GASMAX wireless messsages on a
channel-by-channel basis. Transmit power
is adjustable from 10mW to 1.0 watt for
900Mhz and is fixed at 100mW (ERIP)
with a 3dB antenna for 2.4 Ghz.
Cost Effective Solution
Although most systems require the more
sophisticated alarming capability found
in the GDS Corp C1 Protector or C2
Quad Protector Controller / Receivers,
the GDS-95 can be used as the network
alarm monitor / RF server in a stand-alone
configuration. In this case, the alarm
levels are programmed into each remote
GASMAX monitor.
The GDS-95 requires an external source
of 10-30VDC and is suitable for 12V solar
power applications. Options include local
or remote strobe lights, horns and direc-
tional and omni-directional antennas.
