Product Design

The stylish contemporary design of the Xintex Methane Gas Detector Monitor is ideal for installation into a dash, or similar panel. The 2 1/8” round housing, with 2 5/8” square bezel compliments the interior design of trucks and buses.

Advanced electronic circuitry utilizes our exclusive digital signal, eliminating the necessity of purchasing proprietary cabling to sensors and panels. Equipped with Deutsch Connectors, with heat shrink and boots. Installation at the factory or aftermarket provides cost savings, versus competitive models. Standard 18 gauge insulated wiring may be incorporated into wiring harness. All connections are through Deutsch Connectors for a plug and play installation, thus saving costs and time at the factory. Aftermarket installations are made easy as heavy bulky proprietary cabling is not required.

Optional Xintex wiring harness for sensors and remote status panels equipped with Deutsch Connectors are available at additional cost where desired.

Methane Gas Detection Sensors

Xintex Methane Gas Detection Sensors are designed for specific reaction to elevated levels of methane and natural gas, while ignoring other hydro carbons, thus insuring faster response time and elimination of false alarms due to sulfated batteries, asphalt fumes on recently paved roads, elevated gasoline fumes from neighboring parked trucks, etc.

All sensors are pre-conditioned in our temperature and humidity controlled rooms for a minimum of 7 days prior to final calibration processes
