This is a versatile home gas detector designed to sense explosive gases such as lp propane gas and natural gas . The Scentry III-GFRAB gas alarm has the capability of adding options such as battery back-up, remote gas sensors and low battery detection. If you add the battery option, you can keep pilot lights lit during intermittent power failures in regions such as the mountain states where electric power is not always continuous. A 12V output gives the option of a phone dialer to alert owners of vacation homes, etc. when power has flickered or failed at their home. Remote gas sensors can be added near gas ranges, gas water heaters, gas furnaces, gas heaters, etc. to add protection using only one gas valve controller
Once an explosive gas is detected, this gas monitor sounds an alarm and can activate equipment to remove dangerous gas build up in a building. Easily installed and reliable, this gas alarm and gas monitor has easily accessible terminal strips for fast and secure wire connections, backup battery
charging, low battery detection and sensor failure alarm
The GFRAB stands for gas, mounting feet, remote ready, alarm and battery. Each Scentry gas sensor is calibrated in a gaseous atmosphere so it will alarm at 10% below the lower explosive level of the combustible gas. This is not a carbon monoxide alarm as it has only a combustible gas alarm sensor.
