GX-LNG Gas Sensor

GX-LNG Gas Sensor: Your Protection Against Flammable Gases

Imagine cooking with peace of mind, heating comfortably, or camping off the grid – and in the background, an invisible bodyguard watches over your safety.

The GX-LNG gas sensor from Elektrotechnik Schabus GmbH & Co. KG is exactly that guardian: a highly precise, catalytic detector that identifies flammable gases like methane (natural gas), propane, butane, and R290 even at minimal concentrations.

As an external sensor for proven alarm devices such as GX-A1+, GX-HS, or the socket gas detectors GX-B2pro and GX-B3, it forms the core of an intelligent safety network. Whether in the kitchen, motorhome, boiler room, or technical areas – the GX-LNG warns early of leaks before they become dangerous.

With robust construction, simple RJ plug connection, and automatic self-calibration after up to 6 days of preheating time, it sets standards in gas monitoring. Made in Germany, it meets the highest quality standards and protects not only your property but, above all, what truly matters: lives.

The GX-LNG technology is based on a proven catalytic measuring principle that reliably detects even the smallest amounts of gas. As soon as flammable gases enter the sensor environment, the catalytic reaction changes – and the GX-LNG immediately triggers an alarm via the connected warning device.

It detects a wide range of gases: natural and town gas (methane), liquefied gases like propane and butane from cylinders, LNG for industrial uses, and R290 as a climate-friendly refrigerant in modern heat pumps. The 2.5 m connection cable with RJ plug allows flexible placement – precisely where the risk lurks, low for heavy gases or at medium height.

Cable extensions are possible: up to 20 m with 0.14 mm² or up to 50 m with 0.5 mm² cross-section – always following manufacturer specifications. After commissioning, the sensor calibrates itself to ensure maximum accuracy. Important: The GX-LNG is approved exclusively for dry, non-explosive indoor areas. Supplied with mounting material and a detailed manual, installation by professionals is straightforward. The GX-LNG: prevention at the highest level – for peace of mind with gas.

The GX-LNG is more than a sensor – it’s the smart interface between danger and safety. In combination with Schabus warning devices, a system emerges that not only alerts, but actively intervenes: magnetic valves close, ventilation starts, building management is notified.

Whether in private houses with gas boilers, mobile units like caravans, or commercial kitchens with large cylinders – the GX-LNG adapts and grows with your needs. Its durability, easy maintenance, and German engineering make it an investment that pays off. Because a gas leak isn’t always recognized by smell – but the GX-LNG detects it. It is the difference between “all good” and “good we were prepared.” With this sensor, you choose prevention that works – around the clock, year after year.

Discover the strengths of the GX-LNG in detail – practical and ready for immediate use:

  • Wide gas coverage: Detects methane (natural gas), propane, butane, LNG, town gas, and R290 – ideal for households, commercial, and industrial use.
  • Catalytic principle: High sensitivity and selectivity for flammable gases – precise leakage detection.
  • Plug-&-Play: 2.5 m cable with RJ plug for GX-A1+, GX-HS, GX-B2pro, and GX-B3.
  • Flexible mounting: Includes screw, wall plug, and instructions – for wall, floor, or ceiling installation.
  • Cable extension: Up to 20 m (0.14 mm²) or 50 m (0.5 mm²) – always compliant with standards.
  • Self-calibration: Optimum measurement accuracy after 6 days preheating – low maintenance.
  • Safety standards: Only for use in dry, non-explosive areas – with clear application guidelines.
  • Made in Germany: Quality, durability, and support from Elektrotechnik Schabus.

Application Areas: Where the GX-LNG Protects Lives

The GX-LNG is a guarantor of safety and control in many scenarios:

  • Private homes: Monitors gas stoves, boilers, water heaters, and pipes – prevents explosions and poisoning.
  • Motorhomes & camping: Protects against propane/butane leaks from cylinders when cooking or heating.
  • Gastronomy: Secures large kitchens, beverages dispensing systems, and gas grills – for guests and staff.
  • Workshops & storage: Monitors gas cylinders, welding equipment, and LPG forklifts.
  • Boiler rooms & technical facilities: Early warning for leaking fittings or broken pipes.
  • Industry & agriculture: Monitors LNG tanks, biogas systems, or gas-operated machinery.
  • Modern heat pumps: Detects R290 leaks – for sustainable heating systems.

With the GX-LNG, you opt for prevention that works – before a leak turns into a disaster. It is the perfect complement to your gas warning device and a clear commitment to safety. Easy handling, high reliability, and German quality make it the top choice for homeowners, campers, restaurateurs, and facility managers. Order now and sleep better – with a sensor that stays vigilant when you cannot.
