A Century of Innovation. A Century of Safety.
International Gas Detectors – The Home of Addressable Gas Detection.
Our story begins in 1917 when Henry Ringrose founded the world’s first gas detection company. Over 100 years later our goal remains the same: to keep you safe by continuously improving our pioneering technology. From our first flammable gas detector to our groundbreaking, exclusive 2-Wire Addressable gas detection technology, more than a century of innovation has positioned us as the Detectably Better choice for gas detection.
Today we manufacture detectors for over 700 gases and vapours at our purpose-built facility in Stockport. Total control of the manufacturing process means total control of the delivered product, so you can relax in the knowledge that we have you covered. From our control panels to our detectors our decals to our PCB components, everything is manufactured in-house so that we can guarantee you the level of quality that our customers have come to expect of us.
Being the oldest Gas Detection company in the world has equipped us with a level of knowledge, insight and expertise that our customers rely on. Understanding the complexities of gas detection isn’t your job – it’s ours, and we take our job very seriously. We adhere to all necessary certifications and standards, to ensure that you and your premises are protected and fully compliant. We do our job, so you can get on with yours. Allow our Managing Director to tell you a little more about IGD, what we do, and why we do it.
2-Wire Addressable Technology
The Future of Gas Detection, Now.
We are the innovators in our industry, and there is no better example of the fruits of our labour, than our revolutionary 2-Wire Addressable technology.
IGD invented addressable gas detection in the late 1990’s. Equipping gas detection devices with advanced digital capabilities marked a turning point in the industry, so its widespread market adoption came as no surprise. We’ve come a long way since then. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. As a result, we have since progressed to our third generation of addressable technology—our fastest, most accurate, and most efficient version to date.
2-Wire Addressable technology is power and communications on a single 2-core cable. Everyone else uses at least 4 cables to run their systems; by doing a better job with just 2 we can offer a safer, more reliable system, for less. Our system allows you to interconnect multiple detectors via a single cable, and to link additional accessories directly from the nearest detector making it the only truly scalable solution. Eliminating unnecessary wiring can slash total costs by up to 70%. The cables are polarity independent, making installation and maintenance fast and easy, and our Sentinel+TM software enables advanced digital communication telling you exactly which detector is at which alarm level and providing detailed fault reports. 2-Wire also accommodates built-in WiFi, cloud-based data acquisitions, SMS & email alerts, and remote access for maintenance and data downloads.
