Arizona CO₂ Monitoring & Detection Systems

Dear Owner or Owner’s Representative,

You’re likely already aware of the many benefits of installing a bulk CO₂ system—and may be in the process of considering one or have already decided to move forward.

There are many national, state, and local codes governing bulk CO₂ systems, and they can vary significantly by jurisdiction. If this is your first experience—or even if you’ve gone through it before—you know it can feel overwhelming.

As Arizona’s leader in CO₂ detection, Global Systems United (GSU) has helped countless clients just like you. Our expert team will not only guide you through the entire process but also identify opportunities to reduce cost while ensuring full code compliance.

This guide is designed to help you get started in the right direction.

Most jurisdictions require engineered drawings for both bulk CO₂ and CO₂ detection systems.

• Bulk CO₂ Drawings: These illustrate the tank location, specifications, tubing, screening walls, and dimensions necessary for a compliant installation. GSU’s engineering team will prepare and submit these per jurisdictional requirements.
   
• CO₂ Detection Drawings: These highlight detector locations, CPU integration, backup power, notification devices, and integration with fire alarm systems—ensuring full compliance with your local fire authority.
   

Your bulk CO₂ system must be monitored by a compliant CO₂ detection system. The number and placement of detectors will vary based on your tank location, carbonators, and distribution points.

✅ GSU will evaluate your facility and recommend the most cost-effective and code-compliant solution.
 

Most installations require horns, strobes, or a combination of both to alert personnel when CO₂ is detected.

✅ GSU can design a notification system tailored to your building layout, and integrate it with your fire alarm system when applicable—saving you money and streamlining approvals.
 

CO₂ detectors require backup power (24V or 120V) to function during an outage.

✅ GSU will review your current power setup and recommend the best backup solution.
 

All CO₂ detection systems must be monitored. If your facility already has a monitored fire alarm, GSU may be able to integrate the two systems, saving time and money.

✅ We’ll assess your system’s capacity to ensure full compatibility.
 

GSU is Arizona’s exclusive dealer for the LOGICO2 Smart System, which includes a 5-year factory warranty.

✅ You get the highest-quality detection at the lowest possible cost.
 

If you're installing a new fire alarm or working on new construction, GSU can design and submit combined drawings for:

• Fire alarm
   
• Bulk CO₂
   
• CO₂ detection
   

✅ You only pay for one permit instead of three.
 

GSU installs both fire alarm and CO₂ detection cabling at the same time, streamlining the process.

✅ This can reduce labor costs by up to 50%.
 

Don’t have a monitoring provider? GSU offers affordable, around-the-clock monitoring services.

✅ Reduce upfront system costs while keeping your team safe.
 

At Global Systems United, we’re committed to providing efficient, cost-effective, and code-compliant CO₂ solutions.
