Wiring concentrator – the key to precise gas detection

The K-8P wiring concentrator is an essential element of a gas detection system, designed to work with MD-8… and MDP-8… series alarm modules manufactured by GAZEX. The device enables effective connection and management of gas detectors, ensuring reliable protection in potentially hazardous environments. Its role is crucial in building comprehensive safety systems, both in industry and in public utility facilities.

Functionality and application

K-8P functions as a central wiring point, simplifying the installation and configuration of the gas detection system. It allows connecting up to eight detectors, making it an ideal solution for medium and large installations. It works with various types of GAZEX detectors – measurement (e.g., DEX/P, DG/P) and threshold (e.g., DEX/F, DEX/A, DG/F, DG.EN), as well as devices equipped with a contact output (e.g., WG, AirTECH). This makes the system flexible and can be adapted to the specific needs of a given facility.

The K-8P concentrator is primarily used in:

• Gas detection systems: as an element integrating signals from individual detectors.
• Industrial installations: where continuous monitoring of hazardous gas concentrations is required.
• Public utility facilities: ensuring the safety of users in the event of a gas leak.
• GX gas installation safety systems: integrating with other modules and devices in the system.

Advantages and benefits

• Simplified installation: The K-8P concentrator minimizes the amount of cabling, which translates into faster and easier installation of the entire system.
• Support for various detector types: Compatibility with a wide range of GAZEX devices provides flexibility and the ability to tailor the system to specific needs.
• Central management: Allows effective monitoring of the status of all connected detectors from a single point.
• Expandability: The concentrator can work with other modules and systems via opto-isolated inputs and an RS-485 port (in the case of MDP-8/16), allowing for the creation of extensive and complex solutions.
• Increased safety: The reliable operation of the concentrator translates into improved safety of the entire gas detection system, minimizing the risk of dangerous situations.
• Fast system installation/commissioning: thanks to removable self-clamping connectors allowing connection of single- or multi-strand wires without the need for ferrules.

The K-8P concentrator is a solid and reliable solution for professionals involved in the installation of gas detection systems and for end-users looking for effective protection against hazards related to the presence of dangerous gases in the environment.
