The 12 or 24V gas detector is a fundamental safety device onboard, for both recreational and professional vessels. This device is designed to alert against the presence of hazardous gases such as propane, butane, or carbon monoxide, which can accumulate in enclosed compartments.
Advantages
- Early detection of leaks or accumulations of dangerous gases
- Reduces risk of poisoning and explosions
- Compatible with 12 and 24 V marine electrical systems
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Visual and/or audible alarm for rapid crew response
Applications and operation
- Recommended use in kitchens, engine rooms, cabins, and poorly ventilated spaces
- Continuous monitoring of gas concentration in the environment
Materials and quality
- Corrosion and vibration resistant casing typical of marine environments
- Compliance with nautical electrical safety regulations (ISO, consult specific references)
Installation and maintenance
- Place in low areas near potential leak sources
- Check operation regularly and perform alarm tests
- Keep sensor surface clean and avoid blockage of air intake
Usage recommendations
- Check electrical connections per manual
- Replace sensor upon failure or after recommended lifespan by manufacturer
