Gas detector DG-1KL5/M for propane-butane, calibration 10/30 %DGW, catalytic sensor, RS-485

Propane-Butane Gas Detector – Reliable Safety

This detector is designed for continuous monitoring of propane-butane concentration in air. Utilizing a catalytic sensor, the device rapidly and precisely responds to hazards by activating optical signaling and transmitting data to a central monitoring module via RS-485 interface with MODBUS RTU protocol. This is critical for ensuring safety in industrial facilities, logistics centers, and public utility sites.

Detectors from the DG/M series feature a modular design – sensors are interchangeable, simplifying maintenance, calibration, and reducing operational costs. Module replacement requires no specialized expertise and enables rapid restoration of full device functionality. It is important to note that these detectors are not intended for use in explosion-hazard zones.

Functionality and Applications

The DG-1KL5/M detector is suitable for use anywhere there is a risk of propane-butane gas leakage. Thanks to its design and RS-485 communication capability, it performs ideally in large areas requiring monitoring of multiple measurement points.

• RS-485 Communication: Enables integration with supervision and control systems, providing centralized monitoring of gas detection status.
• Interchangeable Sensors: Allow adaptation to specific application needs and simplify servicing.
• Short Response Time: Thanks to the gas sensor design, the detector quickly responds to changes in propane-butane concentration.
• Built-in Microprocessor: Ensures stable and reliable operation and semi-automatic addressing in digital networks without opening the housing.
• Thermal Compensation: Eliminates the impact of temperature changes on measurement accuracy.
• Alarm History: Enables analysis of events and identification of potential issues.
• IP44 Housing: Provides protection against water splashes, enabling installation in harsh environmental conditions.
• Configuration via DETnet View Software: Allows easy customization of detector settings to individual user needs (available at Gazex).

The device is factory-calibrated in GAZEX’s own Accredited Calibration Laboratory, accredited according to PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025 (accreditation no. AP150), guaranteeing measurement accuracy and reliability. Calibration range 10/30% LEL indicates the measurement range from 10% to 30% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) for propane-butane.
