SBS-CH4 Methane Gas Detector

SBS-CH4 Methane Gas Detector

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SBS-CH4 Methane Gas Detector is a comprehensive detection system designed to identify methane gas presence with visual and audible alarms. It features relays for 25%LEL and 50%LEL methane levels, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Specifications: The system includes a main control unit, a methane sensor, and a 25 ft. cable. It supports dual power options (AC and/or DC) and can be mounted on a wall or electrical box. The relays are rated for different voltages and currents, ensuring compatibility with various systems.
Installation: The detector can be mounted on a wall or a 2-gang junction box. It includes mechanical relays for warning and alarm signals, and supports redundant power supply for fail-safe operation. The system allows for up to three sensors to be connected for broader coverage.
Features: The detector offers universal power inputs, a strobe light for alerts, and sensor status indicator LEDs. Its modular design allows optimal sensor placement, making it ideal for remote locations and various industries such as agriculture, biomass, chemical plants, and more.
Applications: Suitable for agriculture, biomass facilities, chemical plants, processing facilities, oil, gas, and refinery sectors, as well as methane-fueled backup power systems.
Ordering Information: The main product includes the detector with one sensor and a 25 ft. cable. Additional sensors and accessories like test kits and junction boxes are available for purchase.
Warning and Alarm Settings: The system triggers a warning at 25%LEL with a yellow LED and can activate an exhaust fan. At 50%LEL, a red LED, strobe, and audible alarm are activated, with the option to connect to building management systems.
