Product catalog summary
Market Opportunity:
Major heavy-duty truck manufacturers are rapidly developing vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Cities and ports, such as Long Beach and Oakland, California, are adopting alternative fuel vehicles to reduce pollution and diesel particulate matter by 85% by 2020. An estimated 350,000 heavy-duty trucks will be converted to alternative fuels within three years.

Product Overview:
Fireboy-Xintex has introduced an advanced Methane Fume Detector designed for vehicles using CNG or LNG. Methane, a by-product of these fuels, is highly explosive. The detector continuously monitors methane levels and triggers an alarm before dangerous situations arise.

Product Design:
The detector features a stylish, contemporary front panel with a membrane switch panel for easy dashboard installation. It includes multi-colored LEDs (Green, Yellow, Red) to indicate the detector's status:
  • Green: Fully functional
  • Yellow: Sensor operational status (Fault/Okay)
  • Red: Danger at 20% Lower Explosive Limit (L.E.L.)
An audible alarm sounds at 50% L.E.L., with the Red LED remaining illuminated. The device includes a test function for weekly inspections and a reset button with a 30-second audible silence feature.
