Overview

The DetectiveIQ is a rugged, portable multi-gas area monitor designed to deliver enhanced safety through industry-leading battery life, modular sensor technology, and seamless connectivity.

Built for dynamic and temporary worksites, DetectiveIQ is ideal for turnaround and shutdown procedures, hot work maintenance, confined space entry, and hazardous environments where fixed gas detection systems are impractical.

With real-time monitoring for up to seven gases, robust construction, and integration into Crowcon's portable ecosystem, DetectiveIQ enhances workforce protection, compliance, and operational efficiency.

Unmatched Battery Life

DetectiveIQ delivers up to 15 weeks of operation on a single charge, offering longer runtime than any area monitor in its class. Fast charging capabilities allow the device to fully recharge in approximately 8 hours, minimising downtime.

Real-Time Gas Detection

Simultaneously monitor up to seven gases with fast T90 response times of less than 20 seconds for key gases. Interchangeable sensor slots support multiple sensing technologies, providing exceptional flexibility across a wide range of applications.

Available Gas Sensors

Effortless Servicing

DetectiveIQ simplifies maintenance through a design featuring minimal parts and screws. Components such as the outer casing, protective boot, and handles can be easily replaced. The pull-in, pull-out modular sensor tray allows for rapid servicing and reduced downtime.

Flexible Monitoring & Extended Sampling

Ideal for perimeter and fenceline monitoring applications, DetectiveIQ supports networks of up to 25 interconnected devices. An optional pumped sampling module enables gas sampling from distances of up to 30 metres (100 feet).

Wide-Area Alarm Passing with Bluetooth Mesh

Integrated Bluetooth Mesh technology allows alarm signals to be shared across up to 250 devices organised into 10 groups. Each group can include up to 25 devices covering distances of up to 2.5 km, with recommended spacing of 100 metres between units.

Built to Endure – And It Floats

Designed for demanding environments, DetectiveIQ features IP66 and IP68 ingress protection ratings for resistance against dust, water, and impacts. The device is certified for use in hazardous areas, including ATEX/IECEx Zone 0 and CSA Class I Division 1 environments.

Modern, User-Friendly Interface

A dynamic display provides real-time gas readings and automatically adjusts based on active monitoring channels. Colour-coded alerts transition from green to red for rapid hazard identification, while intuitive three-button navigation ensures simple operation.

High-Visibility Alerts & Wide Temperature Range

Equipped with a high-volume audible alarm and bright visual alert indicators, DetectiveIQ ensures immediate awareness of hazardous conditions. The monitor operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +55°C.
