Our extensive range of bus-compatible OPP-SOR® gas and CO warning systems and accessory bus-compatible OPP-SOR® gas sensors provides a wide selection for diverse applications, enabling us to find the right solution for each and every one of your requirements. The program is supplemented by conventional analog gas warning systems and gas sensors.
CO warning systems for underground garages and tunnels Type TGÜ-BM 3.6
The TGÜ-BM 3.6 is a bus-compatible measuring and control system for monitoring the air for toxic concentrations of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, propane or methane in underground garages or similar enclosed spaces in which motor vehicles with combustion engines are used. The integrated time switch allows cyclical ventilation independent of pollutant concentration. This can be optionally flanked with humidity control to avoid condensation problems. The TGÜ-BM 3.6 allows different types of gas sensors to be used simultaneously and can manage up to 240 sensors. If optional humidity sensors are used, the maximum number of gas sensors decreases from 60 to 58 per zone.

Gas warning systems
Gas warning devices are for monitoring rooms for toxic and flammable gases. For example, the max. permissible working place concentration, also referred to as the MAK or AGW value, or the lower explosive limit (UEG) of gases and vapors is monitored. Optical and acoustic alarm devices are triggered as soon as the adjusted threshold value is exceeded. This way people are warned in time and can leave the endangered area. Via additional floating contacts, the corresponding media lines can be closed, using, e.g., solenoid valves. Thus gas warning systems provide optimal protection to persons and technical equipment against the harmful effects of gases and vapors.
Gas sensors
Being bus-compatible, the OPP-SOR® gas sensors are connected to the control unit via a proprietary bus. This makes it possible to dispense with elaborate radial wiring, saving costs.
Different sensor technologies such as electrochemical, semiconductor, catalytic or infrared are used, depending on the task at hand and the gas to be detected.
Information for operators of gas and
CO warning systems
Start-up:
Initial start-up of gas warning systems, including those for CO, is performed on location by our service team. All gas sensors are tested in terms of their installation situation and function using the relevant target gas. Our start-up service also extends to peripheral components such as warning signs, horns, flashlights and any ventilation fans, all of which undergo functional testing based on the gas warning system’s alarm thresholds.
Calibration:
Calibration involves determining the gas sensor’s inherent deviation and whether this is still within the acceptable tolerance range.
Adjustment:
If deviations are found during calibration, the gas sensor is adjusted by reference to predefined measurement points using fresh ambient air or zero gas. Then its measurement range is adjusted using target gas.
Maintenance:
This generally involves a visual inspection of the entire gas or CO warning system and a check of the alarm thresholds including the triggering of connected devices such as ventilation valves, warning signs, etc. All required calibration and adjustment work is included. The maintenance report lists all conducted tests and documents the gas warning system’s operating condition. Any required service work and any deviations found are also documented.
Maintenance interval:
The maintenance interval is specified by the manufacturer of the gas or CO warning system. However, there may be regulations requiring other maintenance intervals for specific applications. It is the operator‘s responsibility to determine which requirements apply.

Operators may want to check the following regulatory material for any existing requirements or information on gas warning systems. It provides an (incomplete) overview of laws, ordinances and technical regulations concerning the use of gas warning systems.
