SafeAir CM Ventilation Interlocking with Built-in Current Monitoring
The SafeAir CM offers a simple single panel package for ventilation interlocking a commercial kitchen to aid sites in meeting BS6173:2020 and IGEM/UP19.

The SafeAir CM is a ventilation and gas interlock system for commercial kitchens.
Ventilation Interlock
Interlocking can be achieved with either airflow switches or the built-in two channel current monitor. The built in current monitor can be “learnt” with minimum and maximum fan current loads, each current monitor has a sensitivity range of 30 milliamps to 20 amps (max).
It is a requirement (see BS 6173 & UP19) that any mechanical ventilation within a kitchen environment (supply and extract) is switched on and running before the use of any gas appliances can take place. If the ventilation is not switched on, the LCD display informs the operator of the fans that are off. It then advises to switch them on and reset the panel.
Gas Detection
Up to four CO2 gas detectors can be connected to the system, low level alerts will cause a audible tone and visual message on screen, high level alerts will additionally isolate the gas supply.
Medem detectors can be used to monitor the carbon dioxide level to ensure that HSE set levels are not exceeded.
Gas Valve Isolation
In the event of fan failure, a high CO2 alert or the activation of the emergency circuit the connected gas isolation valve will be closed.
