Smith & Byford become first to benefit from Vixensoft PDA link to Telegan Sprint V3 Flue Gas Analysers


Vixensoft
has worked with Telegan Gas Monitoring and its exclusive industry partner Anton, to create a Bluetooth link between the gas analyser and the Vixensoft PDA software. The new development automatically transfers data from the analysers to the PDA via Bluetooth® to populate the Landlord's Gas Safety Certificate or CP12.

The first company to use the new Bluetooth link is forward-thinking Smith and Byford, the fast growing Surrey-based M&E contractor.

Smith & Byford made an initial order of 40 Sprint V3 hand held flue gas analysers (FGAs), supplied through one of Anton's master distribution channels. A bespoke solution was created to emulate the data from the Sprint V3 on the PDA, allowing direct population of the ‘Landlord’s Form’ and automated archiving.

"Clients are able to receive all the data on a safety check, including FGA readings, wrapped up in one digital document for archiving on a server"

Kevin Honner, Product Manager at Telegan, comments: "The whole process is extremely simple because it is automatic. Additionally, the integrity of the data is ensured as there can be no errors in transcription and, because the data is automatically archived to a server, subsequent checks can be done at any time simply by retrieving the relevant report – no more hunting around for filed documents."

"It is becoming increasingly important to capture and archive FGA data," says Mike Windsor, Anton's Sales Director. "The collaboration with Vixensoft helps exploit the unique ability of the Sprint V3 and its Bluetooth communications to ensure best practice and compliance. Clients are able to receive all the data on a safety check, including FGA readings, wrapped up in one digital document for archiving on a server."

Smith and Byford has over 70 engineers working on installation and maintenance of local authority contracts. Will Smith, Smith & Byford Managing Director, recognises that "improved efficiency in paperwork and systems provided by ViXEN have contributed to steady improvement in our operating profit over the last 3 years".

Smith & Byford's forward-thinking investment in mobility continues to set them apart and has been key to them winning sizeable contracts, such as a collaborative with Mears plc for The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames. The contract is worth approximately £40 million to Smith & Byford over its full term.

The Sprint V3

As well as being an FGA, the Sprint V3 also features as standard a differential thermometer, a differential manometer (with bespoke combined let-by and tightness test), carbon monoxide room safety monitor and a gas escape detector with gooseneck probe and ultra-bright LED searchlight. The simple, intuitive menu structure has an automatic backlit display and allows easy selection of extended sets of pressure units, fuel options, efficiency settings and other preferences.

An important feature of the Sprint V range is 'Smart Purge' technology, which saves battery, pump and filter life, enables intelligent purging for switch-on and switch-off, and allows the purging of gas while other tests are being carried out.
