SafePark:
Car Park Gas Detection
SafePark is the complete car park gas detection system. The implementation of a car park gas detection system limits the environmental impact of your application, protects users and provides huge savings on energy. Electricity is expensive, and running a ventilation system all day uses a lot of electricity. But, as the emission levels in a car park vary over the course of a day, constant ventilation is an unnecessary expense.
IGD’s SafePark Gas Detection System will automatically engage your ventilation fans at the appropriate level when emission levels are breached and reduce ventilation when safe emission levels are established, potentially saving you thousands on electricity, without compromising on safety.
SafePark automatically adjusts ventilation in response to real-time gas levels. Fans increase when thresholds are breached and scale back once safe conditions are restored, delivering measurable energy savings without compromising safety.
What are the Gas Hazards?
There are a number of different gases that can present a hazard in a car park so appropriate car park gas detection equipment is vital.
- Colourless, odourless and highly poisonous
- The product of incomplete combustion
- Even low-level exposure can pose a significant health risk
- Colourless and poisonous
- Produced by diesel vehicles
- LPG is a common fuel in some regions
- Hydrogen is produced by most electric vehicles
- Both can contribute to a flammable and explosive atmosphere

The SafePark Detector
SafePark Detectors come pre-calibrated to monitor nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitric oxide (NO) carbon monoxide (CO) or flammables (LPG and H2) providing fast, accurate, and reliable gas detection. All our long-life detectors are backed by our 10-year electronics guarantee.
The SafePark Controller
The SafePark Controller is the best option for upgrades on existing systems offering complete control of every element of your gas detection setup on our 2-Wire Addressable system and providing you with digital readings through our Wi-Fi interface. The Controller is compact and fits onto a DIN rail to save on space and comes in both a single port and a 6-port version.
The SafePark Control Panel
The SafePark Control Panel is best suited to end users in need of our full turnkey service. It’s an alternative to the SafePark Controller that boasts all the same features and more. The Control Panel comes in its own custom housing with a 2×8 RGB colour change display, jog wheel, 1-Click setup, and the ability to backup any customised settings using our Wi-Fi interface.
Pioneering Car Park Gas Detection Technology
2-Wire Addressable Digital Communication
Our 2-Wire Addressable system allows you to interconnect multiple detectors via a single cable, providing precise and dependable gas monitoring throughout the car park. With our Sentinel+TM software, you can also add various devices directly from the closest detector. Thanks to SafePark’s built-in Wi-Fi, cloud-based data acquisition and SMS alerts, remote access for maintenance and data log downloads is seamless. You can even integrate our products into an existing system or repurpose your current wiring, significantly reducing installation costs.
Electrochemical Sensors
- Low-level PPM detection for CO, NO and NO2
- Designed to detect gas quickly
- Allow for precision control of your ventilation system
- Long-life and low maintenance
MK8 Pellistor Sensors
- Accurate detection for H2 and LPG
- Unmatched poison resistance
- Protected against inhibiting materials, heat and humidity
- Long operational life and minimal drift for continuous accuracy
A Fully Compliant System
To be considered fully compliant, a car park gas detection system must adhere to certain standards, specifically EN 50545-1 and IEC 6007929. But knowing everything about the relevant safety standards isn’t your job, it’s ours. We hold all appropriate accreditations and with an IGD setup, you can rest assured that your gas detection system is reliable, fully compliant, and backed by over a century of expertise and IGD’s 10-year warranty.

Our Approach to Car Park Gas Detection
Car park gas detection must be tailored to how parking environments actually operate. A generic detection strategy can result in inefficient ventilation control, increased energy costs and elevated risk.
SafePark harnesses IGD’s Sentinel+ fixed gas detection platform to deliver 24/7 digital car park gas detection across all monitored areas. Real‑time gas data is used to automatically control ventilation systems, ensuring safe air quality while avoiding unnecessary fan operation.
For large or multi‑site parking estates, SafePark can be integrated with GasNet remote monitoring. GasNet provides centralised access to car park gas detection data, system diagnostics and alerts, supporting efficient maintenance and compliance management.
SafePark Detector
SafePark gas detectors are supplied pre‑calibrated for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), nitric oxide (NO) or flammable gases (LPG and hydrogen). Designed specifically for car park gas detection, these long‑life detectors deliver fast, accurate and reliable performance and are backed by IGD’s 10‑year electronics warranty.
SafePark Controller
The SafePark Controller is ideal for HVAC‑led car park gas detection installations and system upgrades. Mounted on a DIN rail, it provides intuitive control of all connected devices on the network and delivers digital readings via its built‑in Wi‑Fi interface. Single‑port and six‑port options are available to suit different car park sizes.
SafePark Control Panel
The SafePark Control Panel provides Sentinel+ power to your entire system and is the best option for end users. It features a 2×8 RGB display, jog wheel interface, 1‑click setup and Wi‑Fi‑enabled backup of customised system settings.
Sentinel+ 2-Wire Car Park Gas Detection
SafePark car park gas detection systems are built on IGD’s advanced 2‑Wire Addressable digital communication platform: Sentinel+. Multiple detectors and devices can be connected in series, reducing installation time and cost while delivering precise monitoring throughout the car park. Sentinel+ software allows additional devices to be connected directly from the nearest detector. Modbus and BacNet functionality means our system can be integrated into third-party BMS and ventilation controls. Built‑in Wi‑Fi enables cloud‑based data acquisition, SMS and email alerts, remote maintenance and data log downloads. In many car park gas detection upgrades, existing wiring can be reused to significantly reduce installation costs.
