Gas interlocking systems

The Empire Controls EC1000 is an interlock between the ventilation system and the gas solenoid valve. The gas solenoid valve will not open unless the fans are on or the air flow is below set levels. The interlock system Complies with all GaSafe gas regulations for commercial kitchens and provides complete compliance with BS6173. There is clear indication for gas on and power on with a wipe clean fascia ideal for kitchen environments. The EC1000 comes complete with the gas interlock unit, air differential pressure switch’s & fitting kits for two fans and an emergency panic button. Clearly marked terminals make this gas interlock system extremely easy to install.

Our interlock systems do not have an override facility, this has been recognised by GaSafe and HSE who advise against any override facilities in gas interlock systems.

IMPORTANT – If there are no flame failure devices on the appliances then a full gas proving system must be installed. Make sure you comply with BS6173.

The Empire Controls EC4000 gas interlock has the same features as the EC1000 gas interlock but with up to four fan connections for the larger commercial kitchen.

Please select the valve size required from our range of EN161 gas solenoid valves 1/4″ up to 6″

The Intelligas 100 series is the simplest, most economical system that we offer. It meets the requirements of BS 6173, and it’s easy to install – even if you’re not technically qualified. It’s carefully designed and clearly labelled, and if you’re having problems our 24-hour helpline is moments away.

Key Features

• Solid state circuitry, no relays or components to go wrong
• Supplied complete with air pressure switches
• Full fan and gas valve status indication
• On board emergency stop button (that doubles as a system on / off switch)
• All connections on front panel, leaving the complete enclosure for cable entry
• Fire alarm interlock
• Up to 2 additional emergency stop buttons can be connected directly to the PCB

The Intelligas EGI-1 interlock system has all the benefits of our well-established 100 series. But it is powered by a built-in microprocessor, which gives it zero fail rate. Furthermore, because it is software-driven, this system can be adapted to perform additional functions – just ask.

Key Features

• BS6173 compliant
• Microprocessor controlled gas interlock system
• Easy to read user instructions
• Software-driven processor ensures virtually zero failure rate
• Supplied complete with air pressure switches; software deals with any aps flutter issues
• On board emergency stop button that doubles as system on / off switch
• Easy-to-read LED user display
• Up to 2 additional emergency stop buttons can be connected directly to the PCB
• Fire alarm interlocks to facilitate connection to the buildings system and an Ansuls system if required
• Auxiliary interlocks to connect gas detection equipment or noxious gas detectors
• Remote emergency stop terminals for up to 2 emergency stops and 1 on board e stop included

The MSC101 is a microprocessor based multi services & multi function controller. It provides not only the control of building services but also compliance with building bulletin 101 (carbon dioxide levels in classrooms). This makes the unit ideally suited to the school laboratory environment for example.

Key Features

• Provides the user with complete control over electric water and gas supplies in
• Automatic gas proving as standard
• Keyswitch authorisation required for all changes to isolated / active services
• BB101 (carbon dioxide levels in classrooms) compliant. Choose between either switched detector inputs or 0 – 10v input.
• Ventilation speed control. 0 – 10v output can be appended to either the switched BB101 input or to the 0 – 10v input
• Completely BMS compatible
• Fascia mounted emergency stop and emergency stop indicated on the panel fascia.
• Additional Remote emergency stop terminals are provided.
• Fire alarm interface terminals separately indicated on front panel fascia
• Auxiliary interlock terminals are provided for the connection of gas or carbon monoxide detectors.
• The system fascia can be mounted remotely from the main wiring PCB and linked with a 6-core alarm cable.
