Chapter 1 – Overview 1.1 Introduction DOD Technologies’ EC20x Gas Detector Cabinet is designed to house a series of single-point electrochemical gas detectors – see specifications for compatibility. While creating a centralized hub, the EC20x is fully customizable from the factory. This transforms a seemingly ordinary cabinet into a robust toxic gas monitoring system (TGMS) with improved transport time and extractive detection from distances up to 600 feet.
