[labnetwork] Support for Air Products Gas Guard Gas Cabinets

[Tony L Olsen]

We have also had good support from Critical Systems.  Our GG500 systems were rebuilt and reprogrammed by them in about 2012.  They should still have the necessary replacement parts or can retrofit, if needed.  One of my screens also went too dim to read the prompts during a cylinder install.  They showed me where to find the brightness and contrast pots on the board and I’ve been able to extend the life of the display.  At the time (late last year), they were prepared to send a replacement if I needed it.

Subject: [labnetwork] Support for Air Products Gas Guard Gas Cabinets

Hello,

We are running into issues sourcing replacement parts, controller screens in particular, for our Air Products Gas Guard 500 gas cabinets.  We have seven of these gas cabinets installed at our facility and have seen the controller screen go dim on two cabinets making them unusable.  A few years ago we were able to get a replacement screen from the supplier who sold us the cabinets, but that does not appear to be the case now.

We wanted to poll the network to see if other labs are using similar cabinets, and if so, who is your supplier for Air Products gas cabinet equipment?  Do you have continuing support from them with regards to spare parts and troubleshooting?  If you use different automatic gas cabinets, what have your experiences been like with those brands/suppliers?

Thank you,
