	E.  Basis of Design: Parking Garage Gas Monitors: Optio PGM as manufactured by Conspec Controls. For areas where toxic gases may accumulate and must be continually ventilated or have a gas monitoring device installed. Before an unsafe level of Carbon Monoxide or Nitrogen Dioxide is reached, the detector will signal ventilation fans to cycle and operate until the atmosphere in the area has returned to normal. Multiple PGMs can be connected with a PVC controller station with customizable user-defined logic, or as a standalone device without the need for a central controller. LED indicator lights show the status of the monitor, and a large LCD display continually shows the CO/NO2 levels being monitored. In the event of a power loss or malfunction, the controller activates the ventilation system as a failsafe mechanism.
