BIA-3 - Western Enterprises BIA-3 Single Channel Gas Manifold Alarm

Reliable Gas Monitoring with Western Enterprises BIA-3

The Western Enterprises BIA-3 Remote Audio/Visual Alarm is a critical safety accessory designed to monitor the status of a single gas service source. Engineered for reliability in industrial, medical, and laboratory environments, this unit provides an immediate warning when gas supply pressure drops below a set threshold, typically indicating that a cylinder bank is empty or a switchover has occurred. By integrating this alarm into your gas distribution system, you ensure that your facility maintains a continuous flow of gas, preventing unexpected outages that can compromise safety and productivity.

The BIA-3 is distinguished by its dual-alert system. It features a high-intensity red strobe light that provides a clear visual indication of system status, which is essential in environments where hearing protection is worn or background noise is high. Complementing the visual signal is a powerful 90 dB buzzer, ensuring that the alert is audible even in loud workshop settings. The unit is housed in a durable enclosure designed for wall mounting, allowing it to be positioned in a location where it is most likely to be observed by plant personnel, such as a break room, hallway, or supervisor's office, rather than being hidden away in the cylinder storage area.

Installation is straightforward, with the unit typically operating on standard 115 VAC power. It connects to a pressure switch (sold separately) installed on your regulator or manifold system. When the pressure switch activates due to low pressure, the BIA-3 triggers its alarms. This proactive monitoring solution is compatible with a wide range of Western Enterprises manifolds and is an indispensable tool for any facility that prioritizes process integrity and efficient gas management.
