Adding ventilation interlocking ensures the fans are running before gas can be introduced into the kitchen. This prevents the build-up of Carbon Monoxide that can be inhaled. The Merlin CT1250X systems uses unique built in current monitors displaying the exact fan current, in order to interlock with the ventilation with precision accuracy.
The Merlin CT1250X controller has a front mounted emergency shutdown button and has in-built connectivity for fire alarm & building management systems.

Adding ventilation interlocking ensures the fans are running before gas can be introduced into the kitchen. This prevents the build-up of Carbon Monoxide that can be inhaled. The Merlin 1500S controller can accept air pressure differential switches or fan current monitors to prove the fans are operating. AGS carbon monoxide detectors can also be added to identify faulty cooking equipment, mechanical ventilation & poor air quality.
The Merlin 1500S controller has a front mounted emergency shutdown button and has in-built connectivity for fire alarm & building management systems.

The Merlin 2000X has the unique gas pressure proving technology which ensures there are no open kitchen appliances or gas leaks before gas can be introduced to the kitchen. The controller also monitors for high & low pressure on the mains incoming to the kitchen. Gas pressure proving can be used with appliances that have electrical ignition & flame failure devices fitted. Appliances with standing pilots are not compatible.

Commercial Kitchen Gas Safety Controls
AGS offers a comprehensive range of Commercial Kitchen Gas Safety Systems, designed to provide robust protection and immediate gas isolation during emergencies. Our systems feature commercial kitchen emergency gas shut off valves that de-energize the AGS emergency gas shut off solenoid valves to instantly stop gas flow, preventing dangerous leaks and ensuring compliance with safety standards.
For basic protection, the Panic Emergency Shutdown system provides immediate gas isolation with a simple push of a button. For enhanced safety, the Panic Emergency Shutdown with Gas Detection adds the Mini Merlin carbon monoxide and natural gas monitor, ensuring that ventilation and cooking equipment are functioning correctly to prevent gas buildup.
The Ventilation Monitoring with In-Built Current Monitor & Gas Shut Off system introduces fan interlocking, which ensures ventilation is active before gas is supplied to the kitchen, reducing the risk of carbon monoxide accumulation. The Merlin CT1250X controller features built-in current monitors to accurately verify fan operation, along with a front-mounted emergency shutdown button and connectivity to fire alarms and building management systems.
For more advanced safety, the Ventilation Monitoring with CO Protection & Gas Shut Off system combines fan interlocking with AGS carbon monoxide detectors. The Merlin 1500S controller monitors ventilation and identifies poor air quality or faulty equipment, providing additional protection for kitchen staff and diners.
Our most comprehensive solution, Ventilation Monitoring with In-Built Current Monitor, Gas Shut Off & Gas Pressure Proving, includes gas pressure proving technology with the Merlin 2000X controller. This system ensures no gas leaks or open appliances are present before gas is introduced and monitors high and low gas pressure levels. This setup also includes fan interlocking and a front-mounted emergency shutdown button, ensuring precise control and safety in commercial kitchens.
