The Vulcain 301EM Expansion Module 
acts as a controller for up to four remote 
refrigerant sensors and suits a variety of 
gas detection system solutions.
Easily configured to meet ASHRAE 15, B-52 and 
International Mechanical Code requirements, the 
301EM is commonly used to optimize gas detection 
in mechanical and chiller rooms. A full complement 
of sensors (including toxic, oxygen, combustible 
gases and a full line of refrigerant sensors), horns, 
strobes and remote panels provide added flexibility 
to suit a variety of gas detection system solutions.
ASHRAE No 15-2001 Mechanical Standard and 
B-52 Code Compliance
The ASHRAE and B-52 security standards have 
been established to minimize risk and protect 
the safety of mechanical room personnel and 
the environment at large. Available in a special 
configuration, the 301EM mechanical room 
controller has been carefully designed to meet 
and even exceed these rigorous standards. The 
Vulcain 301EM can be configured to offer automatic 
fan, horn and strobe activation in addition to 
manual fan activation. Latching relay for manual 
alarm recognition, silence key for manual horn 
deactivation, built-in 24 Vdc outputs for horn 
operation, and 2 breakglass switch accessories 
for manual alarm activation ensure optimal 
performance.
