Interlock Systems For Use With Current Sensors

Where gas cooking appliances are used, all extraction systems in commercial catering establishments must have a gas interlocking system in place to comply with BS6173 and IGEM/UP/19, and this should be installed by a qualified gas engineer. Gas interlock systems prevent the gas supply from being turned on until ventilation is fully operational. Gas interlock systems such as the Merlin CT1200S use an air pressure sensor which detects when the canopy is working correctly with sufficient air flow. Once this is achieved the gas solenoid valve will open and cooking appliances can be used.
