Gas Detector – Natural Gas

Description

The Gas Detector (Natural Gas)  is a cost-effective and reliable gas sensing solution, specifically designed to interface seamlessly with the Flamefast range of Gas Safety Systems via the BACnet MS/TP interface. This detector is ideal for monitoring natural gas concentrations, with a range of 0-100% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), making it a critical component in maintaining safety in commercial and industrial environments.

Equipped with a bold traffic light LCD display and an integrated audible alarm, the Flamefast Gas Detector offers clear and immediate visual and audio alerts for any detected gas issues. While the sensor can connect to third-party BACnet networks, for optimal safety and performance, it is highly recommended to pair it with Flamefast’s BoilerGuard or GasMonitor systems.

This versatile gas detector utilizes broadband Pellistor and Infrared Hydrocarbon sensors, which can be calibrated for various combustible gases. Additionally, Flamefast offers factory calibration and renaming options for specific gases, ensuring precise detection tailored to your needs. For those requiring detection of toxic gases such as H2S or HCN, Flamefast provides a comprehensive range of sensor solutions.
