What does WANDI Korea do?

WANDI Korea is the official Korean distributor of WANDI environmental and gas measurement instruments, operated by RS Korea Co., Ltd. We provide sales, calibration, repair, installation, and technical support for portable and fixed multi-gas detectors and air quality monitoring systems, exporting to more than 20 countries with over 5,000 delivery records.

What products do you offer?

We supply portable multi-gas detectors (EDW100, EDW500, Gas Tiger series), fixed multi-gas detectors (FIX800, FIX900, FIX-AP), air quality monitoring systems (FIX5000), and gas leak detectors (GLD series) for industrial safety and environmental measurement.

Which gases can be measured?

Our instruments measure oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), combustible gases (EX), carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia (NH3), and volatile organic compounds (VOC), among other hazardous and combustible gases found on industrial sites.

Do you provide calibration and repair services?

Yes. Beyond product sales, WANDI Korea provides in-house and national certified calibration, repair, installation, and ongoing technical support. Calibration and repair requests can be submitted through the quote/calibration/repair pages on our website.

How can I get a quote for a gas detector?

You can request a quote directly through the quote page on our website or through a nearby dealer. Let us know your application and target gases, and we will recommend a suitable model.

In which fields are the products used?

They are used across a wide range of industrial sites including laboratories, factories and plants, hospitals, military facilities, livestock and wastewater treatment, and construction sites for worker safety and environmental monitoring.

FIX800 O2 Gas Detector Installation in a Fire-Suppression Protected Zone – Busan Building

Hello. This is our technical sales team.

We have recently seen a growing number of inquiries about gas detectors for fire-suppression protected zones.

Following the regulation change taking effect on October 18, 2024 regarding the management of CO2 fire-suppression equipment, a customer reached out to us after reviewing a previous installation we carried out in Yongsan, and asked for the same type of installation for a building in Busan.

What Is a Protected Zone?

A protected zone is an area that is normally monitored by fire detection equipment to watch for and control fires. When a fire is detected, the extinguishing system is activated to suppress it. Because a malfunction of this equipment could cause an unintended discharge of CO2, this is also an area where an accidental release could create a hazard for anyone present.

Effect on the Human Body (Physiological Response by Concentration)

CO2 concentration and physiological effect chart

One reason for installing an oxygen (O2) gas detector in a protected zone is that if CO2 is discharged while people are present inside — reaching a concentration of at least 34% within 60 seconds — failing to evacuate immediately can lead to asphyxiation, poisoning, or even death.

The system can be configured to match site requirements — from a single O2 sensor, up to a 4-gas configuration (O2, CO, H2S, LEL) for confined-space monitoring under occupational safety and health standards, or a 5-gas configuration adding CO2.

9 Zones Installed

9 units of the FIX800 O2 detector were installed.

1-channel remote display installation

9 units of the 1-channel remote display were also installed.

This concludes the installation project for the fire-suppression protected zones in the Busan building.

Fire-suppression equipment protects key facilities, and gas detectors protect the safety of workers. A protected zone is the area that safeguards key facilities, and having a gas detector in place is essential for worker safety. We welcome inquiries about gas detectors and installation services at any time.

We at RS Korea are a gas-specialized company, offering not only product sales but also in-house calibration, domestic repair (A/S), manufacturing, and installation services. Based on our experience conducting demonstrations, site surveys, deliveries, repairs, and installation projects across a wide range of environments, we provide tailored, one-on-one solutions for every gas measurement environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is a "protected zone"?

A protected zone is an area normally monitored by fire detection equipment. If a fire is detected, the extinguishing system activates automatically to suppress it. Because a malfunction could cause CO2 to discharge accidentally, it is also an area where an unintended release could pose a risk to anyone present.

Q2. Why install an oxygen (O2) gas detector in a protected zone?

If CO2 is discharged while people are inside the zone, the concentration can reach at least 34% within 60 seconds. Immediate evacuation is required to prevent asphyxiation or poisoning, and an O2 detector helps identify the drop in oxygen level and alerts occupants in real time.

Q3. What configurations does the FIX800 support?

The FIX800 can be configured as a single O2 sensor, a 4-gas configuration (O2, CO, H2S, LEL) for confined-space monitoring under occupational safety and health standards, or a 5-gas configuration that adds CO2.

Q4. What was installed in this project?

A total of 9 FIX800 O2 detectors were installed, together with 9 units of a 1-channel remote display, covering all 9 protected zones inside the Busan building.

Q5. Why was this installation needed now?

A regulation change affecting the management of CO2 fire-suppression equipment took effect on October 18, 2024, prompting additional safety measures in protected zones. This project followed the same approach as a previous installation carried out in Yongsan.
