Take safety to new heights by remotely detecting flammable gases during drone operations
Factory-calibrated and equipped with built-in self-testing, the Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor requires no field calibration, ensuring continuous fail-safe operations in harsh industrial environments such as those in Oil & Gas, Mining, Maritime, Chemical, Wastewater treatment, and Industrial Manufacturing.
Reach higher safety standards
Reliably detect flammable gases in hazardous areas, enhancing awareness of atmospheric conditions inside your assets to quickly adjust safety measures during drone operations.
Ease permitting process
Complement traditional handheld sensors with airborne detection to ensure continuous flammable gas monitoring, streamlining risk assessments and accelerating permit approvals.
Enjoy greater peace of mind
Reduce stress factors when operating drones in high-risk areas. The gas sensor adds an extra layer of safety and provides real-time awareness of potential hazards, enabling more focused and confident inspections.
Detection of 14+ gases
Comprehensive in-flight reading
Adjustable LEL threshold
Keep-alive functionality
Compatible with Elios 3 payloads
MPS technology
Reliably detect 14+ flammable gases, including hydrogen
The Elios 3 Gas Warning Sensor can detect and quantify over 14 of the most common combustible gases — including hydrogen — with a resolution of 0.1% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), reporting both gas type and concentration. It can identify even the slightest changes in gas levels and provide early warnings, enhancing safety across a wide range of operational scenarios.
*Accuracy is guaranteed for methane and hydrogen across the full environmental range. For other gases, accuracy typically meets published tolerances under standard conditions of 20°C and 50% RH, and when oxygen is present in the air. Additionally, the airflow generated by the drone’s propellers can disperse gas concentrations around the sensor and interfere with the accuracy of gas measurements. For more precise readings, it is recommended to land the drone and turn off the propellers.
Comprehensive in-flight reading
When the drone is powered on, the Flammable Gas Sensor automatically activates, displaying gas concentrations in % LEL directly in the Cockpit App. If the gas concentration reaches the user-set threshold, a warning will appear on the screen to alert the pilot.
Adjustable LEL threshold
To prevent false alarms and ensure timely detection of hazardous gas concentrations, the pilot can manually set the LEL threshold of the sensor before flight, customising alerts to fit specific environmental and operational needs.
Keep-alive functionality during battery handling
To ensure continuous operation, the Flammable Gas Sensor functions independently of the drone’s power supply, allowing the pilot to change the battery without needing to redo the bump test or sensor initialisation, which must be performed in clean air, following a similar workflow to traditional sensors.
Compatible with other Elios 3 payloads
A connector has been integrated into the Flammable Gas Sensor, allowing other Flyability payloads to connect to the drone through the sensor.
For example, the LEL sensor can detect flammable gases while the UT payload measures material thickness.
With Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS) technology
The Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor utilises NevadaNano’s advanced MPS™ technology for detecting flammable gases.
With its cutting-edge measurement capabilities and built-in self-test features, the MPS™ sensor provides the most accurate readings on the market and eliminates the need for field calibration, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments.
