1.0 Introduction
Product Overview
The SGOES is a combustible gas detector that measures the concentration of
hydrocarbon gases present in the monitored environment. The SGOES is configured to
report alarms when the gas concentrations in the environment reach two independently
programmable levels, expressed as a percentage of the lower explosive limit (LEL) in air.
As determined by application requirements, the SGOES is factory calibrated with one of
eight hydrocarbon-based gases (typically methane or propane). Conversion factors are
used to correct for gases other than the factory calibration gas.
Moreover, SGOES is not sensitive to inadvertent detection of gases, such as nitrogen,
oxygen, carbonic acid, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide. This makes the SGOES an
excellent choice for environments where non-hydrocarbon gases are present and precise
monitoring of combustible hydrocarbons like methane and propane is required.
