Description

Many buildings or facilities may already have 12V AC/DC power or electrical systems within them. Thus, a methane gas detector operating on this voltage can be more easily integrated into the existing infrastructure without requiring significant modifications. The Homplex HD100 PRO 12V methane gas detector can be successfully used in industrial, residential or commercial environments due to its versatility in adapting to different situations.

The Homplex HD100 PRO 12V methane gas detector is a state-of-the-art, safety-focused model. This device brings many improvements such as quick installation, improved liquid protection and a redesigned mounting plate. The detector is compatible with normally open or closed 230VAC solenoid valves. It accepts power from 12V direct or alternating current (AC/DC), and has an electrical dry contact actuator and relays with a maximum capacity of 8A at 250 VAC.

The fundamental purpose of this methane gas detector is to help increase safety in premises where methane gas-fuelled fire sources are used, particularly in residential environments. Its essential function is to detect any leaking methane gas in the room and draw attention to its presence using visual and acoustic signals.

The detector can also, in some cases, interact with a solenoid valve, transmitting an electrical signal to cut off the gas supply, thus preventing the risk. For correct operation, it should be mounted in higher places (about 30 cm from the ceiling), as methane gas is lighter than air. It is important to avoid location in areas with water vapour, oil droplets or smoke, as well as in enclosed spaces, at extreme temperatures or near sources of moisture.

In essence, the Homplex HD100 PRO 12V, a 12V AC/DC powered methane gas detector, is a crucial component in ensuring personal safety and property protection in the event of exposure to methane gas. By constantly monitoring methane gas concentrations, this device can prevent dangerous situations such as fires or explosions.

It is important to know when the gas sensor is triggered – in general, the gas detector is triggered when it detects a build-up of methane gas in the room from leaks, depending on the sensitivity of the sensor.

The Homplex HD100 PRO 12V methane gas detector with 12V AC/DC power supply is important for personal and property safety in the event of methane exposure. It provides constant monitoring of methane gas levels and can prevent potential hazardous situations such as fires or explosions.

Frequent questions

Why is the yellow LED always on?

This indicator warns that the gas sensor is not working properly. Contact a Homplex representative to identify the cause and/or replace the methane gas detector. As long as the yellow LED is lit, the detector does not measure and does not respond if the dangerous level of methane gas in the room is exceeded!

How can I tell if the detector is working properly?

After powering up, wait 15 seconds for the self-test process to complete. When this process is complete the red and orange LEDs will go out and the green LED will light solid. Press the Test button for 5 seconds to verify. The detector will acoustically and visually signal a possible danger and send a signal to close the solenoid valve.
