SKU: S-MS-MED

£995.00£1,255.00

Description

 Available with catalytic or infrared (IR) sensor technology, the SMART S-MS MED is capable of detecting a wide range of flammable gases including methane, propane, butane, and pentane. This flexibility allows the detector to be tailored to your specific application, providing accurate and consistent monitoring both on land and at sea.

Engineered with the marine industry in mind, this fixed gas detector has been certified by Lloyd’s Register in accordance with MED/3.54 Regulation, ensuring full compliance with the Marine Equipment Directive and the strict standards of maritime safety.

The SMART S-MS MED is also SIL2 certified, with a SIL3-rated software and SIL3-rated redundant hardware system, offering exceptional performance integrity in safety-critical environments. This high level of certification ensures the detector delivers reliable operation in the event of single faults, meeting the rigorous requirements of functional safety standards (IEC 61508).

Whether you’re protecting cargo holds, engine rooms, or other high-risk zones onboard, the SMART S-MS MED delivers a bespoke, reliable, and compliant solution to flammable gas detection in marine settings.

FAQs
What gases can the SMART S-MS MED detect?

The SMART S-MS MED can detect a range of flammable gases, including but not limited to:

  • Methane (CH₄)

  • Propane (C₃H₈)

  • Butane (C₄H₁₀)

  • Pentane (C₅H₁₂)

It is available with catalytic (pellistor) or infrared (IR) sensor technology, offering flexibility based on your detection environment and gas type.

Is the SMART S-MS MED suitable for marine environments?

Yes. This detector has been specifically designed for use in harsh marine conditions. It is certified by Lloyd’s Register under MED/3.54 Regulation, which ensures it meets the requirements of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED).

Where should the SMART S-MS MED be installed onboard a vessel?

Installation locations depend on the gas type and density. Common areas include:

  • Engine rooms

  • Fuel storage areas

  • Cargo holds

  • Compressor rooms

  • Battery storage compartments

Infrared models are particularly suitable for enclosed or low-oxygen areas, while catalytic models may be preferable in well-ventilated zones.

Can this detector be integrated into a larger gas detection system?

Yes. The SMART S-MS MED is compatible with a wide range of gas control panels and PLC/DCS systems, using standard 4–20mA outputs and RS485 Modbus communication. It can also form part of a redundant detection network, enhancing system integrity in critical areas.
