A yachtsman who wanted a high quality gas alarm for his yacht founded Marinecare. As a graphic designer he was unhappy with the appearance of the existing models on the market. Consequently Marinecare have designed and manufactured what we feel is the best Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector for all leisure marine craft, the Dualwatch combined alarm.
From the internal workings through to the external casing, everything has been designed with boats in mind. The marine environment as we all know is an extremely harsh environment with corrosion, moisture, vibrations and even high humidity levels all taking a toll on your equipment. With this in mind the Dualwatch combined alarm has been designed to a high standard, a safety product must be of a high standard to ensure that it works when required as required.
The Dualwatch combined alarm panel incorporates separate LED's to give a visual warning of a LPG leak or the presence of CO whilst an audible alarm is sounded when either gas is detected. The Dualwatch combined alarm is the only alarm on the market where the CO sensor is integrated into the alarm panel, with the provision for one or two remote and easy to fit plug in LPG sensors. The Dualwatch combined alarm is easy to fit and comes with a flush fitting or surface control panel.
The Dualwatch combined alarm panel should ideally be situated 1.5m to 1.8 away from a cooker and 1 to 1.5m above the floor, this because CO is about the same weight as air and will follow the natural air movements. The remote LPG sensors positioned at the lowest point without getting wet. The Dualwatch combined alarm requires a 12v 3A fused electrical supply.
