Product Introduction
DefinitionHandheld explosion-proof battery-powered detector that detects real-time concentrations of combustible, toxic, oxygen,VOC and other gas concentrations; exceeding limits triggersSound and light + Vibration alarmused for on-site inspection, hot work, and confined space operations for personnel protection, and is a mandatory safety detection device.
Sampling methodSKA/NE-501
- Diffusion typeGas naturally flows into the sensor; small size, good battery life, worn on the waist for carry-on use;Not suitable for pre-detection in closed spaces such as tanks, wells, and pipelines。
- Pump suction typeBuilt-in air pump, hose + Probe for long-distance air sampling;First choice for confined spacespersonnel sample in advance from outside, higher safety.
Product Categories
- Single gas detectorSingle sensor, measures only 1 types of gases (H₂S、CO、O₂、NH₃、Cl₂), low cost.
- Composite multi-gas detector
- Four-in-one (market mainstream):LEL Combustible,O₂Oxygen,CO Carbon monoxide,H₂S Hydrogen sulfide, standard for municipal sewage, chemical, and confined spaces.
- Five / Six-in-one: addsSO₂、NO、NO₂、PID (VOC)、CO₂and other sensors, customized combinations on demand.
- Special model:PID Detector (VOC / Benzene series),NDIR Infrared (CO₂and methane, anti-poisoning), phosphine, phosgene dedicated detectors.
Sensor principle
- Electrochemical:O₂、CO、H₂S、SO₂、NH₃、Cl₂;ppm grade, lifespan1–3 years, cross-interference exists.
- Catalytic combustion:LEL Combustible gas; measures lower explosive limit, easily poisoned and disabled by silicon and sulfur substances.
- NDIR Infrared:CO₂and methane; long lifespan, anti-poisoning,Cannot detect hydrogen。
- PID 光离子:VOCand benzene;ppb High sensitivity, UV lamp will attenuate.
National standard alarm thresholds (commonly used)
- O₂Oxygen: low alarm19.5% VOL, high alarm23.5% VOL
- H₂S Hydrogen sulfide: low alarm10ppm, high alarm20ppm
- CO Carbon monoxide: low alarm25ppm, high alarm50ppm
- LEL Combustible gas: low alarm10% LEL, high alarm25% LEL
also supports TWA time-weighted average, STEL short-term exposure limit alarm (occupational hygiene)

Applicable industries
Petrochemical, gas, municipal sewage, mining, firefighting, metallurgy, coating, pharmaceuticals, power, ship cabins, storage tanks, underground maintenance.
Key points for use and maintenance
- Before use: check appearance, ensure inlet is not blocked, power-on self-test of sound, light and vibration, confirm battery level.
- Confined space operations:Pump suction performs multi-point detection from top to bottomconfirm safety before entering.
- Maintenance: regular zero calibration + Standard gas calibration; sensors must be replaced when expired.
Taboos:Do not disassemble or charge in explosive environments; keep away from high-concentration silicone and strongly corrosive gases to prevent sensor
Main Application Areas
- Confined Space Entry — Pre-entry gas testing in tanks, wells, and pipelines to ensure safe working conditions.
