How to Simplify the Maintenance Process of Gas Detectors
Workers rely on you to keep the gas detectors they use every day working properly and to alert them to possible hazards. So your work is important, but challenging, and often your work is ignored until something serious goes wrong.
Finding out when something went wrong, why, and how much time and money it will take to fix it is too much! Disaster! La!
The high cost of maintenance can quickly become a headache, especially if you need to stock up on additional gas detectors and parts.
When schedules are tight, many users often delay routine gas detector maintenance. In fact, our iNet Control database shows the sad fact that only 20% of users bump test their gas detectors on a daily basis, which is worrying.
While bump testing and calibration are not difficult or time-consuming, it can be difficult to take time out of your busy schedule when you need to focus on other work tasks. The busier you are, the harder it is to devote time to things that seem to be working well.
However, the maintenance and repair of gas detectors is critical to worker safety, so it is important to have an efficient and effective maintenance schedule. Depending on your gas detector inventory, here are some ways you can simplify gas detector maintenance:
01 Plan manual maintenance time
Some companies schedule maintenance during the work week to ensure the detectors receive the attention they deserve, such as calibrating the instruments on the first workday morning of each month. While this can take up a lot of time on maintenance days, it ensures that all detectors are calibrated at the recommended frequency, protecting workers and giving you peace of mind.
Applicable objects: companies with a small number of gas detectors and simple gas detection needs
02 Install the automatic management platform
Automated management platforms have gained popularity in recent years because they automate routine gas detection maintenance. The management platform is a complete instrument management system that can automatically perform bump testing, calibration and collect valuable test data. This makes it easy to obtain accurate records that gas detectors are not only properly maintained, but also in compliance with regulations.
Applicable objects: companies that have the ability to repair gas detectors, but want to reduce routine maintenance time
03 Order gas detection service
You can order a gas detection service package, which is a comprehensive service plan. You will get a gas detector and a supporting automatic management platform to automate routine maintenance and eliminate the need for maintenance. When the automated management platform detects degraded detector performance, such as a sensor nearing the end of its life, the system will automatically order a new sensor, reducing the time you are out of use while waiting for spare parts. The system can even send a complete unit as a replacement unit, and you can receive the replacement detector and return the old detector, completely eliminating instrument downtime and the hassle of warranty claims.
Who's it for: Companies looking to eliminate gas detector maintenance, repairs, downtime, logistics, and unexpected costs with a full-service plan.
No one likes wasting time and money on gas detector maintenance, but the investment pays off extremely well - a safe workplace. A variety of maintenance options can help you reduce or even eliminate the pain points associated with gas detector maintenance, making it easy for you to keep your plant running smoothly with peace of mind.
