What should industrial and commercial users pay attention to when installing gas alarms, and how to purchase qualified products
Gas safety is crucial and an important cornerstone for maintaining social stability and harmony. If gas leaks are not detected and dealt with in a timely manner, they can easily lead to serious accidents such as fires and explosions, causing irreversible losses.
Especially shops and restaurants provide convenience for people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation. But with the continuous development of commodity economy and urbanization process, the number and formats of industry and commerce have rapidly increased, bringing new challenges and difficulties to fire safety work.
Combustible gas detector is a professional instrument for preventing gas leaks, which can monitor the concentration of combustible gas leaks in real time. It is widely used in fields such as petroleum, chemical, catering, metallurgy, and comprehensive pipe galleries.

How to install and use combustible gas detectors?
1.Combustible gas detectors are precision instruments, so be careful during installation to avoid damaging the probe.
2.Gas detectors should be selected within a radius of 1 meter from valves, pipeline interfaces, gas outlets, or areas prone to leakage, as close as possible, but without affecting the operation of other equipment. At the same time, try to avoid high temperature and high humidity environments, do not exceed the temperature and humidity range of the detector, and avoid external influences such as splashing water, oil, and the possibility of mechanical damage.
3.There are various installation methods for gas detectors, which can be roof mounted, wall mounted, or pipe mounted. It is important to ensure that the installation is firm and reliable, while also considering ease of maintenance and calibration of the detector.
4.The installation height of gas detectors should be determined based on the properties of the gas
When the density of the gas being measured is lower than that of air, it should be installed at a distance of 30-60 centimeters from the ceiling, with the sensor facing downwards;
When the density of the measured gas is greater than that of air, it should be installed at a distance of 30-60 centimeters from the ground, with the sensor facing downwards.
5.Combustible gas detectors are safety instruments with sound and light display functions. They should be installed in places that are easy for workers to see and hear, in order to eliminate hidden dangers in a timely manner.
6.When installing the alarm in areas prone to electromagnetic interference, armored cables or cables with metal protective tubes should be used.
7.The combustible gas alarm controller should have an indication label or a distribution map of the detector corresponding to its location.
What should I do if the gas detector keeps alarming during use?
- Understand the cause of the alarm
Users need to understand the reasons for the continuous alarm of gas detectors. It may be due to the detection of flammable or toxic gas leaks, or it could be a problem with the equipment itself.
- Check the detector
Users need to know how to check gas detectors. During the inspection process, the detector can be checked for contamination, blockage, or other issues. By regularly inspecting and cleaning the detector, its normal operation can be ensured.
- Calibration alarm
If the gas detector continues to alarm, users need to know how to calibrate the equipment. Calibration is to ensure that the detector can accurately detect gas concentration. If the sensitivity of the gas detector is set too high, you can try reducing the sensitivity. This can make the device less sensitive to small changes in gas concentration, reducing false alarms and frequent alarms.
- Eliminate environmental interference
If there are factors such as high temperature, high humidity, and dust in the environment that interfere with the normal operation of the gas detector, measures can be taken to reduce these interferences. For example, dust covers, desiccants, etc. can be installed around the equipment.

- Troubleshooting
If none of the above methods can solve the problem, it may be due to a malfunction of the device itself. At this point, it is necessary to further inspect the equipment, such as checking whether the circuit board is working properly, replacing the battery, etc.
- Seeking professional assistance
If users are unable to solve the problem of continuous gas detector alarms, they can seek professional assistance. You can call the manufacturer's phone number or seek help from professionals.
