General Monitors Company profile
Protection for Life
General Monitors is recognized as a worldwide leader in the development and manufacturing of high tech gas monitoring and flame detection instrumentation.
By adhering to our corporate philosophies of integrity, faith in people and creative solutions, we have achieved a well-deserved reputation for providing quality products and services that protect lives and property. Emphasis placed on this goal has led to substantial investments in research, a continuing focus on technology and engineering excellence, and a personal dedication to quality at every level of our operation.
Placing these values above profit may seem unusual in today's business world. However, the fact is that high regard for business ethics has rewarded General Monitors with the leadership we enjoy today in the gas monitoring and flame detection fields. In order to ensure we pursue these values, we remain a privately held entity owned by key company executives and in control of our destiny.
General Monitors was formed in El Segundo, California in 1961 by four aerospace engineers dedicated to providing hydrogen gas monitoring safety equipment for the United States space exploration program. This concern for protecting life in the workplace evolved into a corporate commitment to provide gas and flame detection instrumentation throughout the world's energy related industries. In 1965 General Monitors moved to new facilities in Costa Mesa, California. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Frank Linville and Mr. Richard Muchmore purchased General Monitors. Under Dr. Linville's guidance from 1965 until his death in 1987, and more recently by Don Edwards, we have prospered and earned a worldwide reputation as a leader in high quality, innovative gas monitoring and flame detection products. In February 1991, General Monitors moved into our current facility in Lake Forest, California. Two corporate commitments have been instrumental in our success. First, a commitment to technical innovation and product excellence; and second, a commitment to our employees to provide an unequaled work environment in which they can perform their job and to offer them an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
It is widely recognized that our significant investment in research has raised the technical standards within our industry. Our engineering and product design departments work to develop leading edge designs to meet customer demands. New scientific knowledge and application techniques - developed within the company as well as in the larger scientific community - are continually reviewed and analyzed. This never-ending search for better ideas has helped us constantly up-date our product line over the years.
A commitment from all of our personnel is to ensure that every product leaving General Monitors has our high quality standards built into it. Thus, every instrument that comes off the manufacturing line receives 100% electrical, mechanical, physical inspection, and elevated temperature testing.
Currently, General Monitors' products are manufactured in the United States and Ireland. We also maintain a growing network of sales offices and manufacturer's representatives worldwide. Backing up this worldwide sales team is an after-sale service, repair, and spare parts system that collectively earns us the reputation as the leader in the gas monitoring and flame detection fields. To support our customers worldwide, we have offices in Houston, Texas; Macclesfield, England; Galway, Ireland; Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates, in addition to our corporate office in Lake Forest, California.
Celebrating over 45 years in business, General Monitors stands committed to protect life and property with advanced technology, highly reliable detectors and superior customer service.
General Monitors. Protection for Life.

General Monitors designs systems with a modular, flexible approach to meet unique customer requirements for flame and gas detection. We employ the highest quality components in hardwired card-based systems, PLC-based systems or addressable systems networked via computer.
HazardWatch System
Our new FM approved HazardWatch Fire and Gas Detection System is an innovative, modular system that combines highly reliable programmable logic controller (PLC) technology with General Monitors' advanced gas and flame field devices. It is highly scalable, making it suitable for small systems to large plant-wide applications. Offering intelligence, flexibility and reliability, the HazardWatch System's controller hardware configuration and software has been tested by Factory Mutual to verify NFPA 72 compliance. This includes certification for central station monitoring, as both a fire alarm panel and gas controller, for fault tolerant digital communications and as a releasing control panel.
Hardwired Systems
In smaller applications, hardwired systems are a reliable and cost-effective approach to fire and gas detection. Detectors and card-based controllers with communication cards are wired in appropriate locations. All indicators and alarms are displayed on a front panel that requires no operator intervention other than pressing the Acknowledge or Reset buttons.
PLC-Based Systems
For mid-size to larger applications, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) has evolved as a highly intelligent controller. PLCs reliably detect alarms and initiate an orderly system control or shutdown in emergencies.
Their advantages include:
Microprocessor intelligence
Communications and networking (e.g., MODBUS)
Hardware and software self-diagnostics
Lower cost than hardwiring large system
Addressable Systems
General Monitors designs addressable flame and gas detection systems consisting of a host, such as a PLC or PC, connected to remote field devices.
Addressable fire and gas detection systems offer several benefits:
Greater system design flexibility
Ability to isolate processes
Reduced wiring and lower installation costs
Greater monitoring and information retrieval capabilities
In today's world of complex processes, General Monitors integrates its proven sensing technologies with the latest in control system equipment, computers and network communications technologies. The result is an exceptionally efficient and safe system that incorporates our highly reliable equipment:
