Dear Customer, Supplier or Business Contact,
GasSecure is relocating to new premises, located central within Oslo.
The new office is located at Helsfyr, a communication hub for public transport. It is conveniently reached from the city center by bus or metro, and from the airport by bus or express train.

Our new address is:
GasSecure AS
Innspurten 9
0663 Oslo

Our phone numbers remain the same.

Note:
Deliveries are to the same address, and the building has its own receiving area for goods.
Please follow local signage at the building and instructions from your contact person at GasSecure.
The move is effective from October 9, 2023

GasSecure is pleased to announce that the British UKCA approval for the GS01 and GS01-EA wireless gas detectors was successfully completed at the end of 2021. We remain committed to serve the British market, one of our most important markets in Europe.

Wireless gas detection can be an effective way to optimise safety on industrial sites.

During our webinar, we will discuss how the efficient expansion of the existing system can be delivered using wireless devices. There will be an expert discussion on the most effective methods of providing effective gas detection coverage while reducing installation efforts and costs. Examples of complex projects will also be provided, highlighting how systems with both wireless and wired devices can provide efficient and compliant solutions for even the most demanding applications.

Wireless gas detection provides many opportunities which were previously challenging and costly to realise. Come and find out how.

Format: Live Webinar
Date: Wednesday, Sept. 29th, 2021
Time: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM (CEST)

More information and registration is found at this Dräger website.

GasSecure introduces a new GS01 design with a detachable white 2 dBi antenna. This design will replace the well-know GS01 with fixed yellow antenna that has been on the marked since 2012. GasSecure thereby standardises on the GS01-EA housing, so that customers have the flexibility on site to change from short screw-on antenna to extended antenna with cable and vice versa.
All specifications and certifications remain valid for this new GS01 design.

The corresponding data sheet is available for download here.

Starting with the Polytron 6100 EC WL - the detector for toxic gases and O2 in the wireless product range offered by Dräger and GasSecure - customers may now choose their preferred wireless communication standard for this product.
The industrial wireless standard ISA100.11a ensures the safe transmission of the measured values. Together with the PROFIsafe protocol, it enables the SIL2 capability of your system. The widely used, secure radio standard WirelessHART® gives customers the flexibility to easily integrate the transmitters into an existing WirelessHART® network.

GasSecure has completed its delivery of more than 120 wireless gas detectors for flammable gases to Dräger UK. The detectors with accessories are part of a c.€1M order for the provision of wireless gas detection to an onshore terminal. This represents a significant step forward in the adoption of wireless technology within the UK energy industry.

The project was very time sensitive making wireless technology a great solution due to its fast deployment, using wireless technology also kept installation costs to a minimum whilst still providing the ability to precisely locate the detectors where the risk was deemed highest without having to consider existing brownfield infrastructure as part of the installation philosophy.

As the oil and gas industry returns to tough market conditions, wireless gas detection offers an attractive solution to improve safety by using the latest technology whilst also keeping cost to a minimum.

The recently introduced Dräger Polytron 6100 EC WL for toxic gases and O2 is a great extension of the wireless product range offered by Dräger and GasSecure. The Polytron 6100 EC WL uses the field-proven DrägerSensors optimized for industrial applications. They cover a spectrum of 140 different hazardous gases (including H2S and CO) in a temperature range of -40 °C to +65 °C. The GS01 for detection of flammable gases and the Polytron 6100 EC WL are both SIL2-capable and instrinsically safe and will operate continuously on the same ISA100 Wireless network.

GasSecure is pleased to announce the recent successful re-assessment of the SIL2 (safety integrity level 2) certificate for the GS01 – the world’s first wireless infrared gas detector for flammable gases – by 3rd party assessor Exida. On re-assessment of the GS01 gas detector according to the IEC 61508:2010 standard, the products’ field history was analysed. This history is used to verify the failure rates as predicted by the initial FMEDA (failure mode effect and diagnostic analysis).

Launched in 2012 and SIL2 certified since 2015, the GS01 has now gained an excellent track record from thousands of devices installed. An estimate of the MTBF (mean time between failure) calculated from the service record of the installed base resulted in an MTBF of 192 years. This more than confirms the FMEDA estimate of 55 years and our promise: Wireless in design, safe in use. The GS01 remains the only wireless gas detector for flammable gases that is both SIL2 capable and carries the gas performance approval (per EN 60079-29-1) for Methane and Propane.

You will find our SIL2 certificate with corresponding documentation on Exida’s website (search for GasSecure).

Come and meet our experts at this year's ONS exhibition in Stavanger (27th – 30th Aug) at stand 7070 in Hall 7. The GS01 wireless gas detector and new exciting wireless products are on display. Dräger has been providing complete safety solutions to the North Sea since oil first flowed from the area. So whether you’re looking for reliable gas warning devices, or escape equipment and personal protection equipment, we understand your uncompromising need to protect your people and the environment. Your safety is our passion.

Please register to join GasSecure's Product Manager; Christian Heinlein on the 30th Aug 2018 as he presents an ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute (WCI) webinar showing the application of the GS01 wireless gas detectors in Safety Integrated Systems.
