Overview
Environmental Monitoring Systems (EMS) protect your valuable assets by safeguarding against environmental risks. By monitoring critical parameters, EMS helps prevent equipment failures, data loss, and regulatory violations.
The Methane (CH4) Gas Sensor is a reliable solution for continuous 24/7 monitoring of methane gas levels. It is specifically designed to detect leaks from lead-acid and lithium-ion battery banks. This sensor accurately measures methane concentrations from 0 to 100% LEL, providing real-time data on gas levels. With a rapid response time of less than 20 seconds, it can quickly detect and alert users to potential gas leaks.
The sensor’s durable design and long lifespan of up to 15 years minimise maintenance requirements and reduce long-term costs. It seamlessly integrates with BASE-XX Base Units, requiring the optional BASE-FW-SSLS firmware for optimal functionality. Its robust, industrial-grade steel enclosure and versatile mounting options ensure reliable performance in various environments.
