Description

Measure methane at the instrument inlet with this portable methane gas detector. The MH-1200H-S-CH4 uses a catalytic combustion sensor and diffusion sampling to display CH4 concentration over a 0-100% LEL range. Choose either the Standard or High Performance sensor configuration when ordering.

CH4 Measurement and Sensor Selection

Both performance options use the same 0-100% LEL methane measurement span. Standard is the conventional catalytic configuration; High Performance uses a poisoning-resistant catalytic sensor. The Standard configuration is not recommended for diesel or acetylene environments. Select the sensor option that matches the gases and conditions in your monitoring procedure, and follow the instrument instructions for calibration and pre-use checks.

This configuration uses diffusion sampling at the sensor inlet. Keep the inlet exposed to the air being checked. The rear clip provides a carrying point during inspection rounds, and the protective cover surrounds the compact housing.

Readings, Alarm Settings and Stored Events

The 128 x 64 monochrome LCD shows gas information and concentration. Adjustable backlight timing lets you set the display illumination through the controls; the backlight also activates automatically during an alarm. Sound, light and vibration provide alarm indications, with an 85 dB audible alarm and configurable set points. The detector stores 100 alarm records for review on its screen.
