The Crowcon Detective Plus will be discontinued and no longer available to purchase from 28th November 2025. The replacement is the DetectiveIQ.

The Crowcon Detective Plus is an area monitor for Combustible, Oxygen and Toxic gas detection. Rapidly deployable in industrial and remote gas detection applications. Suitable for continuous area monitoring, with the added versatility of being easily moved to another location if required.

A single unit can be used for small area monitoring while personnel are working. To protect larger areas, up to 12 Detectives can be linked together to provide a perimeter defence.

Designed for operation in harsh environments, this impact-resistant detector features a rugged tripod design that will continue to function even if overturned.

The Detective’s main body is constructed from fire-retardant, high-impact, UV-stabilised ABS plastic. The unit features a highly visible display with a high-contrast LCD and a backlight with two lines of 24 characters.

The standard monitoring time is 36 hours with the 7.2Ah battery; it can be extended to 60 hours with the 12Ah battery pack. Note: Charging should be done only in safe areas.

The sensors are located on the underside of the unit for protection. A manual aspirator can be attached for spot sampling. The instrument may be configured to detect any practical combination of oxygen, toxic, and flammable gases using electrochemical, catalytic, and thermal conductivity sensors.

Infrared, long-lasting poison-immune sensors for Flammable or Carbon Dioxide gases can also be fitted. An automatic sampling pump option is available.

Audible is a wailing, omnidirectional siren, 104 dBA at 1 metre. Used widely in Oil, Gas, Petrochemical and General Industry. Three high-intensity red light beacons indicate hazardous gas levels at the top of the unit, and a high-volume audible sounder on the underside of the unit.

A slow-flashing green LED indicates normal operation, and a fast-flashing green LED indicates a low battery. Visual LED clusters flash rapidly with linked detectives duplicating the alarm, but at a slower rate so the Detective closest to the hazard can be pinpointed.
