Most flammable and explosive gases are odorless under normal circumstances. Therefore, in order to be easily recognizable by smell in case of a leak, most gases are colored (odorized) with special chemical substances. Whether the gas is odorized or not, the sensor of the SAFE 808 detector is factory configured for reliable gas detection so that it triggers an alarm before reaching a certain concentration threshold, which in case of further increase represents a potential risk of hazard and safely protects your health and property.

Semiconductor catalytic combustion sensors for detecting flammable and explosive gases require constant power supply from the electrical mains. The SAFE 808 detector is powered from the 230V / AC mains, but unlike most conventional detectors, it features an integrated fast-charging converter and a storage compartment for a 9V NiMH backup battery (battery not included as standard), which provides maximum protection for a certain interval in the event of a mains power failure.

The detector is equipped with a TEST button with a function that serves to artificially simulate the presence of gas and allows verification of the operational capability of internal circuits through an automatic efficiency monitoring system, testing of acoustic signalling and visual warning LED signalling.

The SAFE-808 gas detector is ideally suited for detecting gas leaks from all domestic gas appliances and gas boilers. It detects all flammable gases commonly found in households. It also finds its application in residential spaces that include kitchens with gas cookers, domestic boiler rooms with equipment burning natural gas, propane-butane, or rooms where gas equipment is located, such as: gas cylinders, tanks, gas pipelines, garages for gas-powered vehicles, school chemistry and physics workshops and laboratories, etc.
