Methane Leak detector

Methane detector and methane transmitter are useful for applications in the underground parking, boiler houses, industrial kitchens, storage areas, chemical storage areas and other confined spaces.

Most of our devices have Auxiliary relay outputs for generating alarms, phone call alert systems, exhaust fan, connection to BMS etc.
