1.1 System Overview

The Honeywell Analytics Ver tex™ System
continuously monitors up to 72 remote locations
for toxic gases. It responds to gases that exceed
programmed levels by:
• Triggering alar ms and opening event
windows to warn operators of high or low
concentrations
• Triggering relays to external devices
• Displaying the location, gas type and gas
concentration
• Storing the alarm information in a database
The Vertex System provides fast response to a wide
range of gases. Each location may be up to 400 ft
(122 m) from the Vertex System. The system uses
one or more of Honeywell Analytics' Chemcassette
analyzers, with or without pyrolyzer, to provide a
monitoring system tailored to meet the requirements
of the facility.
The Vertex System incorporates a range of
redundant and protective features for maximum
uptime:
• Intelligent analyzer modules allow one to stop
monitoring with no effect on the remaining
modules
• Power supplies are redundant
• Pumps are redundant
• The system powers up in the same state as
when powered down
