Triple Plus + (TRP +) and Triple Plus + IR (IR + TRP) batteries possessions gone under a revamp to Make Them Even More Reliable Than before and extendable in-field lifetime.

TRP + and TRP + IR are favorites worldwide industry due to the robust and reliable 'naturally or thesis detectors. The Triax ™ casing overused thesis on portable detectors ensures That They Can withstand the resin in the treatment of musts hest thing demanding applications. With the ability to Measure a wide range of gases using 4 Interchangeable sensors at a time customization and simple alternative to flammable gas correction factors it MEANS the detector is a tool usefulness for users.

First the triple, then the Triple Plus and now, the TRP + and TRP + IR detectors, having overused The Most Advanced Technologies and having proven Them elves as 'fit for purpose' in the field possessions evolved over time to suit the Needs of the market and continuous To Be A Product of Choice in many applications.

Recently the Lead Acid Technology Used in the TRP + / + IR batteries Has Been superseded by the Greater benefits found in using lithium ion batteries (Li-ion) and so Crowcon possessions adapted the battery pack in the TRP + / + IR detectors to keep up with Their customers to Provide Technology and with the Greater benefits.

The disadvantage of using a Lead Acid battery is thats it Suffer from the 'memory effect' which MEANS That unless the unit is fully discharged before recharge it Will reducing the price range will charge it and as a result Each time Will reducing the cycle time and overall lifetime of the battery.

Li-ion batteries Have a number of Advantages over Competing technologies:

• They Are Generally much lighter Than Lead Acid batteries and as a result equivalent to the weight of the TRP + and TRP + IR Has Been Reduced by 20g (From 900g to 880g).
• Due to the highly reactive nature of lithium, lots more energy stored in ITS Can Be atomic bonds making it much more energetic ITS Than Lead Acid equivalent. (A Lead Acid Battery Can store ~ 25Whr/Kg Compared to Li-ion Which Can store up to 150Whr/Kg).
• They Hold Their charge (even on the shelf) Can be more effectively and controlled by electronics.
• They Have No memory effect and so Can Be Recharged at Any Time Without Any losing life or overall cycle time that result in Increased lifetime and charge cycles.

LIBRA (Li-ion Battery Replacement Assembly): - The new battery pack (Part no: C01006) is More Than Just a Li-ion battery. It Has A microprocessor and Circuitry to mimic the old lead acid pack. This AllowUsers to just replace the battery pack without modifying the TRP + or changing the charger, eventhough the battery technologies are more Than 50 years apart. Attention paid to bone HAS Also ensure a 20-30 minute period after Dependable Low battery warning Remains The Same Indicating and to voltage output on start up, so users Who Have Written That Which operating procedures include, for example, or a minimum operating voltage 6.3 Q Will see no impact. At the sametime We Have Introduced a more forceful low battery alarm Indication is, based on customer feedback. This HAS Involved recitals a bootable amount of work, but demonstrates our commitment to support the many chains of Thousands of TRP + users.

The new battery is more Also Environmentally friendly as the use of Lead is Becoming increasingly popular due to less negative environmental impact of ITS. This Has A knock on effect lead acid batteries That with the right performance for use as a main power source are now harder to get hold of and are now only Mainly Used As A standby power supply.

LIBRA is available in all new build TRP + and TRP + IR detector from April 2010 and offers extended lifetime and charge cycles using this technology. LIBRA Also it is designed to be compatible with Existing TRP + / + IR units Already out in the field. Whilst ATEX and IECEx certification Maintaining current levels (and with UL pending), Also it charges with the charger Existing units and takes only seconds to replace.
