Methane (CH4) Gas Sensor (0-100% LEL)UR61010 (UL Recognized) - Calibration Free - 10y+ lifespan
UR61010 (UL Recognized) - Calibration Free - 10y+ lifespan
standard sensor version connecting to base unit with Modbus TCP, SNMP or MQTT output
native Modbus RTU (RS-485) version with 24v DC input and 2 relay outputs with 256 addresses
Wired or Wireless
By default all sensors are connected to the SensorGateway (BASE-5) using a CAT6 or higher RJ45 cable.
Using the optional Wireless Hub & Node modules, any sensor can be turned into a wireless sensor.

RS485 (Modbus RTU) version
Looking to integrate this sensor with your own gateway or industrial control system? For large accounts customers or OEMs we now do offer a RS-485 version of this sensor. It has the same specs as the normal sensor. However rather than talking to our base unit and then communicate over industrial protocols with 3rd party systems, this version allows for native integration bypassing our base units.
It offers the same features as our regular sensors but with following differences:
- RS485 Modbus RTU output
- individually addressable using dial switch
- 256 addresses available
- 12-24v DC input

key sensor features
Introducing our second generation digital SNMP & Modbus TCP sensor designed for monitoring 24x7 methane CH4 levels and detect leaks from lead acid and li-ion battery banks. For up to 100% LEL (lower explosive limit) or 5,000ppm CH4. Sensor is designed for use in non hazardous, commercial and zone 2 classed environments like data centers, battery rooms, mechanical rooms, cooling rooms, warehouses and more.
- measures methane in the air between 0 to 100% LEL- T90 for methane in less than 30seconds
- with a ±3% LEL accuracy from 0-100%
- available as a standard sensor
- or daisy chained (up to 16 sensors per daisy chain)
- or native RS-485 sensor with 2 relay outputs
- UL 61010 pending
- 10+ year life span in normal conditions
- compact plug & play sensor.
- designed for indoor use.
- steel enclosure for non-power sensors or non-IP sensors.
- custom color & logo options available.
- industrial grade.
- 0u rack, DIN rail, magnetic or wall mountable sensor.
- plugs into the base unit.
- powered by the base unit (PoE, 12v DC, optionally 24v or -48v)
- alerts via SNMP Traps, email or SMS.
- out of the box integration via Modbus TCP, SNMP.
- optional integration via MQTT for Industrial IoT applications1
.- optional integration via RS-485 enabling direct integration with your own gateway & controllers.2

2Some sensors are not available in RS-485 native versions. In that case RS-485 is available using the optional Modbus RTU module.
modular architecture
A modular architecture enabling you to integrate it with your on-premises monitoring systems using IP based industrial protocols like Modbus TCP and SNMP. Optional add-on to connect sensor data to a Modbus RTU controller. With our optional and special firmware the base unit can connect to a MQTT provider of your choice.
With the output controls of the SensorHub, the system can on its own take corrective actions when too high flammable levels have been detected. For example you can start a fan as soon as flammable gas is detected and trigger a siren when a maximum limit has been exceeded.

lab & bump testing
The sensor is calibration free over its entire life span.
For bump testing we offer the optional SPARE-GAS-BUMP adapter which is mounted on to the sensor. It enables you to self test the sensor at frequent intervals to ensure its operation within your own safety & operational requirements.

No PC or Software Required
The InfraSensing sensors connect to the base unit (BASE-5). The base unit is a standalone device that has its own IP address in your network. On its own it will monitor the sensor and trigger alerts via email, SNMP or optional SMS when needed.
There is no software or PC required for the sensors to run.
With our optional Monitoring Software you can centrally monitor sensors with trending and more. This is optional and not required.
