HOW G.I.S. WORKS

Sensors placed either side of the ductwork fan monitor air pressure. They are connected to an air differential switch, which is activated when the pressure difference changes. Alternatively the current taken by the fan can be monitored by a fan power sensor. The 230V G.I.S. monitors this switch/sensor and in the event of fan failure will close the gas solenoid and cut off the gas flow to kitchen appliances. (Top of Page)
