Following extensive discussions with shipowners, ship management, and shipping staff, the GMI Shipsurveyor Gas Detector was specifically developed to cater to the unique needs of the marine sector. This comprehensive range consists of eight instruments, each tailored to meet the specific requirements of various maritime applications such as cargo monitoring, confined space monitoring, and more. The Shipsurveyor stands out for its flexibility and user-friendly operation. It offers a wide range of features suitable for all marine applications. With the ability to monitor and display up to five gases simultaneously, it provides comprehensive gas detection capabilities. The hydrocarbon range utilizes advanced infrared technology and can be calibrated with butane, propane, or methane depending on the specific application.
One of the notable aspects of the GMI Shipsurveyor Gas Detector is its excellent and functional application software. This software enables easy onboard calibration and the production of calibration certifications. Additionally, it includes comprehensive datalogging functionality, allowing for the recording of gas measurements along with vessel positions, which can then be conveniently transferred to a PC for further analysis. The Shipsurveyor is a complete solution for shipping, boasting ATEX and MED approval. It encompasses the Dual Mode feature, serving as both a Combustible Gas Indicator (CGI) and a Confined Space Monitor (CSM). The built-in pump ensures superior flow rate, minimizing the need for extensive tank sampling lines. The instrument also incorporates fault detection and reporting capabilities, enhancing overall safety and reliability. Furthermore, the Shipsurveyor offers language options to accommodate diverse user preferences and requirements.
The GMI – Shipsurveyor instrument offers a comprehensive solution for safety monitoring and inerting applications in the marine industry. This highly versatile instrument complies with international marine regulations for a wide range of marine applications, including Confined Space Monitoring, Inerting, Pre-entry Testing, Tank Cleaning, and more.
At its core, the Shipsurveyor instrument provides essential measurements of Lower Explosive Level (LEL) and Volume flammable gas for surveying and leak detection in the Shipping Industry. It can be configured to detect other gas ranges as well, which are detailed in Chapter 2 of the accompanying handbook.
The Shipsurveyor is designed for simplicity of operation and easy maintenance. It features a user-friendly interface with two-button operation, granting users access to all its features. The instrument offers two operating modes: Confined Space Monitor (CSM) mode and Combustible Gas Indicator (CGI) mode, catering to different monitoring requirements. Equipped with an LCD display and backlighting, the Shipsurveyor provides clear visibility of current gas readings, operational details, and status information. It also includes a battery life indicator, ensuring users are aware of the instrument’s power level.
In CSM mode, the Shipsurveyor offers audible and visual alarms. These alarms have pre-set levels and can be complemented with an optional periodic confidence signal. The audible and visual confidence signals provide reassurance that the instrument is actively sensing for gas, eliminating the need for constant display monitoring. The signals consist of an audible beep and a visual LED pulse every eight seconds. For data logging, both manual and automatic options are available in CSM mode, allowing for convenient record-keeping. In CGI mode, manual datalogging is supported. This enables users to store critical data for analysis and documentation purposes.
The Shipsurveyor is built with a rugged polypropylene case, sealed to an IP54 rating, making it suitable for outdoor use and providing durability in harsh marine environments. Furthermore, it directly interfaces with the GMI Auto Calibration Unit, streamlining the calibration process for enhanced efficiency.
Overall, the GMI – Shipsurveyor instrument offers a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for safety monitoring and inerting applications in the marine industry. With its versatile features, compliance with international marine regulations, and durable construction, the Shipsurveyor ensures reliable and accurate gas detection, contributing to the safety and compliance of marine operations.
