Gas detector function
The function of a gas detector is to monitor air quality continuously, identify the presence of harmful gases, and trigger an audible, visual or vibrating alarm when levels exceed safety thresholds. These devices are widely used in industries such as chemical manufacturing confined spaces and industrial plants, where exposure to toxic, combustible or oxygen-deficient gases can be life-threatening. At WatchGas, we provide high-performance solutions designed to meet industry standards and ensure maximum protection for personnel and facilities.

Examples of our gas detectors and their functions
Each gas detector has its own function. Our devices operate using highly sensitive gas sensors that identify specific gases in the surrounding air. When a hazardous gas is detected, the detector activates an alarm system, which typically includes audible alarms (high-decibel sounds), visual alarms (flashing LED lights) and vibrating alerts. Some advanced models, such as the POLI detector, can detect up to five gases at once and provide real-time data logging for workplace safety compliance. Another highly reliable detection device is the SST1, a maintenance-free detector designed to offer continuous monitoring for up to three years. It provides instant audible, visual and vibrating alarms when dangerous gas levels are detected, ensuring maximum protection for workers in hazardous environments.
