A central alarm (CA) unit in a gas monitoring system including gas sensors and gas sensor controllers operatively connected to respective gas sensors, the CA unit comprising:
- a communications module configured to communicate with a remote computer and with the gas sensor controllers, wherein each gas sensor controller is configured to communicate with respective gas sensors;
- a gas sensor monitoring module configured to receive from each gas sensor controller a signal including status information of the gas sensors operatively connected to the respective gas sensor controller;
- and
- a remote monitoring module configured to generate a gas monitoring information message upon the status information indicating that at least one gas sensor is in alarm status, and further configured to cause the communications module to transmit the gas monitoring information message to the remote computer, each gas monitoring information message including data corresponding to the status information to thereby provide central level status information to a remote location.
