Gas detector catalog: fixed detectors by target gas

One detector body, one wiring standard and one spares list, with a sensing cell per gas. Pick the gas to see its ranges, where it is specified and how it is mounted.

Every gas, with its ranges

Selectable ranges, resolution and response time for each sensing cell. The right range for a given point is part of the scoping conversation.

Three kinds of gas hazard, three ways to specify

Toxic gases

Specified in ppm, in a range chosen around the exposure limits that apply on the site. The low alarm warns and the high alarm acts.

Flammable gases

Specified in %LEL, so the alarm trips at a fraction of the concentration at which the gas could ignite. Mounting height follows whether the gas is lighter or heavier than air.

Oxygen

Specified in %VOL, with alarms on both sides of normal air: depletion where an inert gas can displace it, enrichment where oxygen itself can leak.

What every detector in the family shares

The cell changes. Everything a contractor wires and a technician services stays the same.
