CaterSense is Mechline's range of kitchen environment safety devices designed for safety management in commercial foodservice premises. New to the range is Mechline's Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide sensor (CO/CO2 Sensor), designed to interface with Gas Interlock Systems (G.I.S.).

Using unique technology, the wall-mounted CaterSense CO/CO2 sensor will detect a build up of CO or CO2 in the commercial kitchen, providing a constant visual indication of underlying levels of harmful gases. If the air CO or CO2 content exceeds recommended industry levels, the battery-powered CaterSense CO/CO2 sensor will pulse a signal to the G.I.S.

and shut off the gas supply to the kitchen while emitting an audible alarm thus ensuring the safety and well being of kitchen staff. The CaterSense CO/CO2 sensor can be installed in conjunction with existing Gas Interlock Systems. Another brilliant safety device idea that can be used easily and practically in commercial foodservice.
