Draeger REGARD 3000 plus Control System | Scalable Industrial Gas & Fire Monitoring

Draeger REGARD 3000 | Intelligent Gas Detection Control Built for Modern Plant Safety

Scalable, decentralized monitoring that grows with your facility without high rewiring costs.

The Draeger REGARD 3000 plus brings clarity, flexibility, and real-time visibility to industrial gas and fire detection systems. Whether you are operating a standalone local facility or interconnecting multiple hazardous processing areas across your plant, this modular control unit adapts precisely to your operational requirements.

From small setups requiring 10 to 12 input channels up to multi-station networks handling 192 logical channels, the REGARD 3000 plus simplifies installation, reduces cabling overhead, and protects your personnel with uncompromised reliability.

Key Advantage: Built-in high-visibility status lights and integrated sounders eliminate the need for extra local alarm hardware, lowering your initial capital expense while speeding up daily round inspections.

Key Benefits & Capabilities

Simple, Modular, and Scalable

Forget rigid, hardwired controllers that force expensive retrofits when your plant expands. The REGARD 3000 plus utilizes modular docking stations and plug-in cards that grow alongside your process needs:

• Customizable Channel Layouts: Mix and match 2-, 4-, or 8-channel 4-20 mA analogue input modules alongside 4- or 8-channel relay output modules for precise alarm control.
• Rapid Installation: Docking stations feature color- and shape-coded slots for error-free module placement during setup or expansion.
• Up to 192 Channels: Expand from a single base unit into a multi-station network managing up to 24 modules across 12 docking stations.

Decentralized Architecture Reduces Total Cost of Ownership

Running thousands of feet of heavy copper wiring from remote field sensors back to a single central control room is costly and labor-intensive.

• Local Subsystems: Place compact REGARD 3000 plus units close to your process areas.
• Ethernet Interlinking: Network up to 12 docking stations in a multi-drop chain using standard dual LAN ports (up to 100 meters per run, or longer using fiber optics).
• Centralized Visibility: View and configure every channel plant-wide from a single master display panel.

Instant Visual Clarity & Intuitive Touch Control

When an alarm triggers, every second counts. The REGARD 3000 plus keeps operators informed at a glance:

• 360-Degree LED Light Ring: Displays system status instantly from across the room (Blue/Green = Normal, Yellow = Fault, Red = Active Alarm).
• 10-Inch Color Touch Screen: Large, touch-friendly navigation fields allow operators to monitor live gas levels, acknowledge alerts, or temporarily block channels with password protection.
• Integrated Audible Horn: Multiple tone sequences differentiate alarm severity without requiring standalone sirens.

Predictive Maintenance via HART® & IIoT Connectivity

Transform reactive maintenance into proactive asset health management:

• HART® Transmitter Diagnostics: Continuous readout of sensor health, calibration status, and device diagnostics directly through the input module.
• Dräger Edge Device & Cloud Integration: Connect to Gas Detection Connect (GDC) software for real-time remote monitoring, automatic email alerts, and historical trend analysis from any internet-enabled device.

Complete System Architecture & Compatibility

The REGARD 3000 plus acts as the central intelligence hub for your plant’s safety infrastructure, seamlessly bridging field transmitters, local alarms, and higher-level distributed control systems (DCS):
