Immediate Actions When Your Portable Gas Detector Sounds an Alarm
When your portable gas detector activates an alarm, it indicates the presence of hazardous gases that could pose serious health risks. Proper response is crucial for ensuring safety. At Shanghai Gewei Electronic Safety Equipment Co., Ltd., we understand the importance of reliable gas detection systems in industrial environments.
Step 1: Do Not Panic and Move to Safety
The first and most important action is to remain calm. Panic can lead to poor decision-making. Immediately move away from the area where the alarm was triggered. Our portable multi-gas detector products are designed to provide accurate and timely warnings, giving you precious seconds to evacuate.
Step 2: Identify the Specific Gas Type
Check your detector’s display to identify which gas has triggered the alarm. Our portable gas detectors are equipped with industrial-grade sensors capable of simultaneously detecting multiple gases including flammable and toxic substances. The Portable Multi-Gas Detector supports various sensor types including catalytic combustion, electrochemistry, and infrared absorption, ensuring accurate identification of different gas hazards.
Step 3: Assess the Situation and Alert Others
Once you’re in a safe location, assess the situation. If you’re in a team or workplace, alert others to the danger. Our gas detection systems are designed to support multiple alarm modes including sound, light, and vibration, with an alarm volume exceeding 95dB@30cm, ensuring the warning is noticed even in noisy industrial environments.
The detector’s 2.2-inch dot-matrix LCD screen provides clear information about gas concentrations and alarm conditions, helping you make informed decisions about the severity of the hazard.
Understanding Your Gas Detection Equipment
Technical Specifications That Matter During Emergencies
Understanding your equipment’s capabilities is essential for proper response. Our Portable Multi-Gas Detector features exceptional battery performance, with a high-capacity lithium battery that provides up to 24 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. The charging time is less than 5 hours, ensuring your equipment is ready when needed.
The detector operates effectively in harsh industrial conditions with an ambient temperature range of -20℃ to +60℃ and relative humidity of 15-95% RH (no condensation). Its explosion-proof rating of Ex d ib ⅡC T4 Gb ensures safe operation in hazardous environments.
Durability and Reliability in Critical Situations
During emergency situations, equipment durability is crucial. Our portable gas detectors are constructed with a polyester rubber + PC composite structure, offering excellent impact resistance and drop protection. The IP67 protection rating ensures the equipment continues functioning even in dusty or wet conditions.
The flameproof catalytic combustion sensor used in our detectors exhibits outstanding properties including impact resistance, H₂S poisoning resistance, and silicon poisoning resistance, ensuring reliable performance in challenging industrial environments.
Post-Alarm Procedures and Equipment Maintenance
Documenting the Incident
After ensuring immediate safety, document the alarm incident. Record the time, location, gas type detected, and any relevant circumstances. This information is valuable for incident investigation and prevention of future occurrences.
Equipment Inspection and Calibration
After any alarm activation, inspect your portable gas detector for damage or contamination. Our detectors are designed for easy maintenance and long service life, with an expected battery service life of more than 5 years. Regular calibration ensures continued accuracy and reliability.
