PNI GD-01 gas detector with audible and visual alarm, LPG and natural gas, 230 V

Product detailed description

The PNI GD-01 is a household gas detector that monitors the air in a room and warns you when combustible gas appears. It responds to LPG (propane-butane), natural gas and coal gas, and the alarm is triggered at a concentration of 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL).

It warns you in two ways at once: a sharp beeping sound and LED indicators on the front panel, which also show other states of the device. The white housing with rounded edges fits in a kitchen, boiler room or garage.

The detector is sold on its own, without a solenoid valve. It has a 12 V output and, according to the manufacturer, can be combined with the PNI V-02, DCF-80 and DCF-90 solenoid valves, which shut off the gas supply after an alarm.

Installation and compatibility

The detector runs from a 230 V AC socket, draws less than 1.7 W and works between −10 and +50 °C. Its dimensions are 110 x 73 x 41 mm. Placement depends on the gas: natural gas is lighter than air, so the detector goes higher up; LPG is heavier and collects near the floor, so it goes low. See the manual for exact instructions.

The detector itself does not interfere with the gas line. Installing a solenoid valve on a gas pipe, however, must be done by a qualified person authorised to work on gas installations.

Frequently asked questions

Is a solenoid valve included?
No. Only the detector and a user manual are supplied. The valve is bought separately.

Can it be used for carbon monoxide (CO)?
The manufacturer states detection of LPG, natural gas and coal gas. Do not rely on it as a stand-alone carbon monoxide alarm.

What is in the box?
The gas detector and a user manual.
