DETECTORS

Gas detector GD1000 panel and sensor
The VETUS gas detector model GD1000 offers a gas detection
system for a range of combustible gases including propane,
butane, methane and hydrogen. In addition it will also detect
poisonous carbon monoxide. A single sensor is supplied as
standard, which can detect both flammable gases (such as
bottled gas) and carbon monoxide. A second sensor can be
fitted as an option, for gas detection in an alternative location.
A push button will manually actuate a remote solenoid operated
cooking gas supply valve, if this is installed in the system. If this
solenoid valve is in the open position (or not fitted), the presence
of gas is detected continuously. If the valve is closed, detection
will take place intermittently. Please note, the valve itself is not
supplied with the gas detector.

If the gas detector senses high concentrations of flammable
gases and/or carbon monoxide, it will trigger an acoustic
GD1000 alarm and a LED on the control panel. Petrol fumes can
trigger the alarm at extremely low concentrations, which
makes this device less suitable for boats with a petrol engine(s).
The “Mute” button will silence the alarm. The gas detector
GD1000 and PD1000 is provided with three switched connections rated at 1 Amp
each. In the event of an alarm situation, these will actuate

Gas detector PD1000 panel and sensor
Gas detector model PD1000 specifically detects petrol vapour
to prevent the risk of explosion in the engine room, as well as
poisonous carbon monoxide (CO).
This gas detector can be supplied with one or two sensors. Both
detection functions are carried out simultaneously. All other
functions are as described for model GD1000 shown above.

Gas detector PD1000 is suitable for both 12 and 24 Volt D.C.

It is recommended that the possible presence of petrol vapour and carbon monoxide be checked on a permanent basis;
even when the boat is not in use! Therefore, always keep the power supply to this gas detector switched on.
