  • Teledyne GFD's MethaSense detectors offer precise methane detection using NDIR sensor technology.
  • Wireless connectivity and alarms in MethaSense enhance safety and efficiency for gas detection.
  • MethaSense family ensures reliable methane monitoring in residential, industrial, and utility settings.

For residential, industrial, and utility applications, Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD) is offering vital assistance with its new MethaSense range of battery-powered methane detectors, which allows users to take advantage of cutting-edge NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) sensor technology. 

All three models in the versatile, autonomous new product family - MethaSense, MethaSense XP, and MethaSense Trace - feature patented NDIR sensors for reliable and precise methane detection. To suit residential and commercial applications, MethaSense is a compact, wireless natural gas detector with a range of 0-5 % volume.

High methane selectivity

High methane selectivity and immunity to sensor poisoning ensure accurate detection 

High methane selectivity and immunity to sensor poisoning ensure accurate detection without false alarms, making this state-of-the-art detector ideal for preventing gas-related incidents in homes and small businesses.

Integrated audible and visual alarms provide immediate alerts to safeguard occupants and property, while its compatibility with advanced metering infrastructure supports smart home integration.

Progressive signal processing algorithms ensure MethaSense detects, alarms, and monitors methane at concentrations as low as 10% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for enhanced safety.

Optional wireless connectivity 

Optional wireless (LoRaWAN) connectivity enables real-time gas detection visualisation, further boosting safety and efficiency with clear, actionable insights. Offering low cost of ownership, MethaSense delivers both affordable protection and peace of mind.

In addition, 10+ years of battery life means MethaSense operates independently for continuous protection, even during power outages. Also part of the product family is MethaSense XP, which is engineered for industrial environments where robust performance and reliability are essential.

MethaSense XP’s rugged design and reliable detection capabilities ensure worker safety and operational continuity, especially in areas where maintenance access is limited.

NDIR sensor technology

It combines the same advanced NDIR sensor technology with enhanced durability and wireless communication options, including LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and Bluetooth. MethaSense XP again features audible and visual alarms, while its 10+ year battery autonomy and immunity to corrosion and saturation make the detector ideal for continuous safety monitoring in demanding conditions.

With ATEX and IECEx certifications, MethaSense XP operates reliably in hazardous zones. Completing the family is MethaSense Trace, a high-performance methane detector for LDAR (leak detection and repair) and utility applications, where accurate and autonomous methane monitoring is essential for regulatory compliance and environmental protection.

A rugged build with an IP67 ingress protection rating for outdoor use ensures uninterrupted performance in harsh conditions, reducing operational risks and maintenance costs.
