About Conspec
Engineered Safety Solutions For Every Gas Detection Application
58 years of gas detection expertise.
Conspec Controls is a gas detection manufacturer that engineers, develops and deploys configurable gas, flame, and heat detection and control solutions in hazardous mining, commercial, and industrial applications. We believe that every application deserves effective protection, which is why we collaborate with our customers to engineer solutions that rise to meet the unique challenges of their application.
Since 1968, Conspec has created gas detection systems ranging from fully integrated safety solutions for complex facilities to independent detectors for focused applications. With nearly 60 years of experience in hazardous-area safety success, we combine our industry expertise with ongoing research and product development to design certified and tested gas safety solutions which operators can trust to work reliably in challenging operational environments.
Our Optio-series gas monitors are the flagship of Conspec’s safety solutions, engineered for flexibility with multi-gas monitors supporting up to six toxic or combustible gas sensors deployed internally or remotely. Our products are simple to use and easy to integrate, supporting industry-standard communication options including Modbus RTU, BACnet, Ethernet, and wireless protocols.
Mission, Vision, and Purpose
Mission
Our mission is to provide customers with reliable safety solutions that meet their expectations, requirements, and goals.
Vision
Our vision is to become the provider of choice by creating innovative gas, flame, and heat detection solutions.
Purpose
The Complete Conspec Safety Picture
Gas Detection
Our flexible multi-gas monitors can detect up to six toxic or combustible gases per device using electrochemical, infrared (IR), PID, and pellistor sensor technologies.
Flame Detection
Our flame detection can detect even the smallest hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fires at up to 300 feet using UV+IR radiation and beam smoke detection technologies.
Heat Detection
Our heat detection solutions include thermal imaging cameras equipped with dual vision for improved hazard awareness and linear heat detection (LHD) systems.
Network Control
Our controllers can integrate complex gas, flame, and heat detection safety solutions with supervisory software and BMS/BAS systems to assist with visibility and process automation.
Why Choose
Conspec Controls?
We engineer
specialized solutions.
Our approach is to collaborate with customers to develop a life safety solution around the specific hazards, conditions, and layout of their facility.
With single- and multi-gas monitors with flexible communication options to fully integrated gas, flame, and heat detection systems with network controllers, our team is equipped with the experience to deliver reliable safety solutions that scale to meet the complexities of any facility.
We deliver
reliable gas detection.
Conspec gas detectors are factory tested and calibrated before shipment. Our products are available with approvals and certifications for demanding mining, industrial, commercial, and hazardous-area applications, including MSHA, IECEx, ATEX, and UL where applicable.
We offer
reduced lead time.
We are proud of the production record Conspec has built over 58 years. Domestic manufacturing means most routine orders ship within two to three weeks of receipt, and we can frequently ship orders the same week.
Shorter lead times help customers get the equipment they need sooner while reducing the need to maintain costly on-hand inventory.
Conspec is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Building on extensive employee training, standardization of operations, and continuous improvement, our entire staff seeks out innovative ways to enhance the quality of our products and services.
We provide
product lifecycle support.
From system design and deployment to ongoing technical support, repair, calibration, and maintenance services, Conspec and our partners ensure your safety solutions continue to perform reliably for years to come.
