Gas Leak Detector Alarm

What is a Gas Leak Detector Alarm?

It’s a safety device that detects the presence of gas in the air and alerts you with a loud alarm (sometimes with visual indicators too). Many modern versions also support smartphone alerts or can be integrated with home automation systems.

Common Gases Detected:

• LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• Methane (CH₄) / Natural Gas

• Propane / Butane

• Carbon Monoxide (CO)

• Hydrogen (in some models)

Top Features to Look For:

1. Sensor Type:

   • Semiconductor sensors (common, affordable)

   • Electrochemical sensors (used in CO detectors — more precise)

   • Infrared sensors (for advanced industrial applications)

2. Gas Detection Type:

   • Single gas or multi-gas detection

   • Choose based on what gas you use (e.g., LPG stove = LPG detector)

3. Alarm System:

   • Audible siren (85 dB or louder)

   • Visual indicators (LED lights)

   • Digital display (for concentration in PPM or %LEL)

4. Connectivity:

   • Standalone

   • Smart (Wi-Fi or Zigbee/Bluetooth)

   • App alerts or integration with smart home systems

5. Power Supply:

   • Plug-in

   • Battery-powered

   • Hardwired (industrial use)

6. Auto shutoff feature (optional in advanced systems with solenoid valve control)
