The Eagle Eye HGD-3000 Hydrogen Gas and Smoke Detector is designed for unattended battery installations or remote shelters containing gassing lead acid batteries and charging systems - most commonly found in the the telecommunications and utility sectors. Other applications for hydrogen gas detection include forklift and golf cart charging areas, data centers, mission critical facilities, fire departments, and other battery charging rooms.
Lead-acid batteries on charge emit hydrogen gas after reaching the 80% recharge point. When mixed with enough air, hydrogen becomes a highly flammable gas that can ignite easily with just a spark, destroying equipment and harming personnel. The lower explosive level (LEL) for hydrogen is 4.1% by volume. The dangers of hydrogen gas explosion are eliminated by using the hydrogen gas detector. Hydrogen is colorless and odorless, the lightest of all gases and thus rises. The HGD-3000 hydrogen gas sensor should be installed at the highest, draft-free location of the room where hydrogen gas would accumulate.
The HGD-3000 hydrogen gas detector comes standard for AC power supply: 85 265 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Custom Options are available for DC power supply (17 60 VDC or 12VDC).
