ANSWERS FOR YOUR PROJECT

Frequently asked questions.

Practical answers for choosing target gases, configuring sensing and external power, assessing installation conditions and connecting data to the required site response.

Ask about your project ↗
Which gases can be configured?

Target gases include CH4, H2, NH3, O2, SF6, CO2, H2S, CO, SO2 and more. Share any additional target gases, expected concentrations and the purpose of the reading: combustible leak warning, toxic-gas monitoring, oxygen deficiency or enrichment, or an engineered process measurement. Hitelecom confirms the suitable sensing technology, selected channels, ranges and terminal arrangement in the proposal. Multi-gas projects are defined around the individual monitoring points and channel requirements.

Should our range use ppm, vol% or %LEL?

Choose the units for the gas and monitoring duty. Combustible leak warning commonly uses percentage of the lower explosive limit (%LEL), toxic-gas measurements commonly use ppm, and oxygen measurement uses vol%. Methane monitoring for low-level leak investigation differs from a %LEL warning duty. Share expected concentrations and required response so the configured range, resolution and alarm basis can be confirmed for each channel.

How is the sensing principle selected for H2, O2 and other gases?

Select the technology for the target gas and concentration duty. Conventional hydrocarbon infrared sensing does not detect hydrogen; hydrogen-capable catalytic and dedicated electrochemical approaches exist for different tasks. Oxygen needs an oxygen-specific channel, while PID detection depends on the gas and lamp and is commonly used for ionizable VOCs. Engineering reviews the exact sensor, interference, response and operating limits with the application.

Can a project monitor several gases?

Yes, a project can be specified with the gas inventory and monitoring points your team needs. Hitelecom confirms the available sensing channels and terminal arrangement for that request. Combustible, toxic and oxygen duties may require different channels or devices. Include likely gas mixtures and cross-sensitivity concerns so the selected measurements and their alarm requirements can be reviewed as a complete project.

How do we specify a configuration for a hazardous area?

Provide the site's hazardous-area classification and destination market with the enquiry. Match the supplied detector's applicable approval and exact configuration to the gas group, temperature and ambient conditions required at the site. Review the certificate coverage, marking, installation instructions and any conditions of use, including the power and wiring arrangement. Where IECEx documentation is applicable, verify the controlled online certificate and its current status.

How do enclosure protection and hazardous-area approval relate?

Select the enclosure and gas inlet for dust, water, corrosion and the required gas access. The published family describes a customizable IP68 option; confirm its test conditions for the supplied assembly. An ingress protection rating addresses dust and water. Hazardous-area selection separately requires the applicable detector approval, marking and installation conditions, and any required detection-performance or functional-safety evidence is assessed for the project duty.

What power supply should we plan?

The custom gas configuration uses external 9–24 V DC power. Include the available supply, cable route, isolation and service access in the project brief. Engineering confirms the supply requirements and wiring for the selected detector and installation, including the applicable hazardous-area conditions. Agree any continuity requirements together with the sensing, alarm and communication duties so the complete arrangement can be documented before commissioning.

How can we connect readings and remote notifications?

The published family lists 4G, NB-IoT and LoRa variants and MQTT. For a cellular project, confirm the modem, regional network support, endpoint, authentication and payload. For LoRa, agree the gateway and server route. Set upload timing and remote threshold notifications for the operating workflow, and confirm timestamps, communication-fault handling and any required local warnings separately with the supplied configuration.

Can the system support ventilation or shutdown requirements?

Include the required protective action in the enquiry so the interfaces and complete control design can be reviewed. Define the local detection and warning path, response time, fault behavior and test requirements. A remote threshold notification is an operational data function; a ventilation or shutdown duty needs the appropriate controller path and approval evidence. Hitelecom confirms the available interfaces and project suitability before those functions are specified.

Where should gas-monitoring points be placed?

Choose candidate points from probable releases, gas dispersion, ventilation, obstructions and exposure locations. Gas density is one input: release temperature, gas mixtures and circulation can change the path, so a universal ceiling or floor height is unsuitable. Review the layout against the selected detector documentation and site assessment, with practical access for calibration and replacement. Where needed, use dispersion analysis or airflow checks to refine the plan.

When is fixed, ducted or sampled monitoring appropriate?

Match the arrangement to the release source and measurement purpose. A fixed point measures gas reaching that point; a duct sample represents the sampled stream. Where tubing is used, review gas and material compatibility, adsorption, condensation, filters, flow faults and transport delay. Select and verify the complete gas path with the detector so its measurements represent the intended location and required response.

What information helps prepare the quotation and service plan?

Provide target gases, units and ranges, point count, process and ambient conditions, area classification, external power, communication and alarm requirements. Add a site layout and likely interfering gases. Request the final channel specifications and applicable approvals, plus the calibration method, function-test schedule and replacement plan. Inspection and maintenance intervals are selected for the actual sensor and site conditions, with commissioning checks for the complete measurement and response path.
