  • Magnetically controlled gas detectors
    Patent number: 9557306
    Abstract: Non-contact magnetic, optical or RF control elements can be used to control various operational aspects, or parameters of a gas detector. The detector can be placed in a low current, or sleep, mode wherein the operational life-time is not reduced by the duration of the sleep mode. Instructions can be coupled to the detector magnetically, optically, or via RF to alter set points or other operating parameters. Information as to bump tests can also be coupled to the detector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2017
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Clive Warden Kennard, Stephen D. Worthington, Brandon Eble, Tak G. Saruwatari, Sean E. Stinson

  • System and method of determining gas detector information and status via RFID tags
    Patent number: 9035766
    Abstract: In large systems of ambient condition detectors the respective detectors can each include an RFID-type tag or integrated circuit. The tag can transmit detector identification information and status information wirelessly to a displaced receiver. Receivers can be installed in docking/test stations as well as in portable units which can be carried by an individual entering, or, moving through a region being monitored by the detectors.
