What is a Combustible Gas Transmitter?
A combustible gas transmitter is a fixed safety device that continuously measures the presence of flammable gases in the air. These gases, when mixed with oxygen, can ignite and cause fires or explosions. The transmitter acts as a permanent combustible gas monitor, installed in critical areas to detect gas concentrations before they reach hazardous levels.
It measures gas concentration in terms of LEL (Lower Explosive Limit). When gas levels rise, the device sends signals to alarm systems or control panels to trigger safety actions. This makes the combustible gas sensor a key part of industrial safety systems in factories, labs, and processing plants.
How Does the Transmitter Work?
The E2618-LEL uses a catalytic flammable gas sensor. When combustible gas enters the sensor, it oxidizes on a heated element, changing its resistance. This change is converted into an electrical signal that represents gas concentration in LEL percentage. The combustible gas transmitter then sends this data to monitoring systems through analog or digital outputs.
What Gases Does a Gas Monitor Detect?
This combustible gas leak detector is designed to detect a wide range of flammable gases such as methane, propane, butane, hexane, and other hydrocarbons. These gases are common in manufacturing, storage, and processing environments. The combustible gas monitor helps prevent fire risks by identifying leaks early.
How to Use a Combustible Gas Detector?
Install the combustible gas transmitter on walls near potential leak sources. Connect it to a control panel, PLC, or alarm system. Ensure regular calibration and functional testing. The combustible gas sensor will continuously monitor the air and trigger alerts when gas levels approach unsafe limits.
Why It Is Essential in the UAE & GCC
The UAE and GCC host advanced industries such as aerospace MRO hubs, semiconductor cleanrooms, and pharmaceutical labs. These facilities handle flammable gases and solvents daily. A reliable combustible gas monitor is vital to meet strict HSE standards, prevent downtime, and protect high-value assets. The E2618-LEL supports world-class safety practices required across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider GCC region.
How Often Do Gas Detectors Need Calibration?
For best performance, a combustible gas sensor should be calibrated every 6 months. In harsh environments or high-exposure areas, quarterly calibration is recommended to ensure the combustible gas transmitter maintains accuracy.
