SBS HGDI Hydrogen Detector
110 VAC; 50/60 Hertz Hydrogen Gas Sensor

Lead-acid storage batteries emit hydrogen while gassing during charge. Hydrogen concentration of 4% to 75% by volume in air are potentially explosive. SBS HGDI Hydrogen gas detector is designed to allow dissipation and give warning before any concentration reaches the lower explosive limit (LEL) of 4%. This unit is very easy to install and very cost effective.

This SBS HGDI is required for your battery room to be in compliance with IEEE Std 450, National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Article 64 & Uniform Building Code (UBC) Sect 6400. Failure to monitor hydrogen gas production & alarm when certain thresholds are reached voids your insurance policy & exposes your company to severe risk should any in juries result from a non-passive hydrogen gassing event. The HDGI is an affordable piece of your safety plan.

The HGDI-REM optional remote display is a small monitor box that duplicates the LED indicator lights, the audible warning buzzer, and the push-to-test button on the HGDI-DR hydrogen gas detectors. The HGDI-REM is connected to the remote hydrogen gas detectors with standard crossover six-wire telephone cables. It may be located up to 1000’ away. 25’ cable comes standard.
