Safety is paramount and should never be underestimated. At the same time, remember that even if you buy the highest quality equipment, gas leaks may occur. In addition, exhaust gases are released in the garage, which pose a significant threat not only to health but also to life. After all, it has long been known that carbon monoxide is a silent killer.

Safety and security in the garage: gas detector
The garage should have an appropriate ventilation system that removes excess dirt and gas. In fact, it is not enough to use ventilation alone. Fire protection requirements are also important, which means that a special fire load density must be used. It must be relatively high, even if you have elements that do not spread fire, such as fire doors. There may also be a gas leak in the garage. In such a case, a gas detector is necessary to activate alarm sirens when danger is detected.
Each alarm siren should be relatively loud so that residents have time to evacuate and call for help. A gas detector is a very small device, but it is a very important part of the security system. It is used to continuously control the concentration of hazardous substances, which include not only natural gas, but also liquid gas, i.e. propane-butane. Even if your garage has really good ventilation. The use of a detector is essential. The alarm will sound as soon as a threat is detected. The message will inform about threats. You will also see a warning in the form of, for example, flashing lights. This is a visual alarm that will sound when the gas concentration begins to increase.
How to properly select an alarm siren for a gas detection system?
An alarm siren with a light signal should be selected for a given room. When a threat appears, messages about the increase in gas concentration will begin to be displayed. Of course, before the alarm signals are activated, there will be a warning in the form of a visual alarm. So you won't hear the sirens right away.
The sound of the alarm siren should be very loud. Indeed, the intensity and sound it emits should wake up even the residents who are on the first floor. A modulated sound that announces an alarm is also a great option. The alarm siren is activated by a very sensitive sensor. When a leak occurs or the gas concentration increases, an air alarm sounds and the alarm siren sounds.
The signals can be really different. It may be the so-called beeping. The sound may be more vibrant. The important thing is that it really bothers you. The sound of sirens may be preceded by a long signal, which indicates that the alarm has gone off and the need to evacuate.
Application and purpose of alarm sirens with light signals
Most often, the gas sensor turns on when the concentration of the harmful substance is 15%. The sensor should be located at a height, i.e. h, 15 cm below the ceiling. As for the distance measured horizontally, it should not be greater than 6 meters. When the concentration drops, the siren is canceled, i.e. it simply silences itself automatically. A very good choice is a siren with a light signal.
In this case, you receive double security, i.e. visual and vocal. The warning light is very intense and most often appears when the gas concentration increases rapidly. It often happens that a modulated sound is triggered along with the light signal. The gas sensor can be equipped with a radio function. You can manage it using the mobile application.
