Methane or LPG gas detector RGX100Q/Eg
Belonging to
The years of experience gained in the civil sector and the knowledge of the Market combined with the
prestige that has distinguished BEINAT, have allowed the design and the production of the gas detector for
civil use which has the prerogative to be able to detect through the catalytic sensor, Gas Methane or LPG.
Through the built-in relay, the RGX100Q/Eg can activate: solenoid valves, sirens, and any other device
alarm.
A series of technical features make this gas detector extremely versatile, reliable, accurate, and safe.
Through an internal jumper it is possible to select the relay impulse functioning, to connect manual reset
solenoid valves, or the continuous functioning, to activate class “A” solenoid valves and sirens.
The relay, free of voltage, allows installation of multiple detectors on a single solenoid valve ensuring control
of multiple dangerous environments.
The detector is complete with a special circuit that controls the catalytic sensor’s efficiency level,
and signals any possible fault.
The enclosure with IP42 degree of protection can be installed either on the wall or on a 503 flush-mounted
box.
Important: Assembly / maintenance of the appliance must be carried out by qualified personnel and in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the use of products that have to comply with particular
environmental and / or installation standards.

Precautions
Functional Features Of Gas Sensors
The installation of the RGX100Q/Eg detector, its ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, and its out
of service removal at the end of the functional life guaranteed by the manufacturer, must be carried out
by authorized and/or specialized personnel.
The CATALYTIC technology sensor duration is guaranteed for 6 years (in clean air).
The detector’s functioning temperature ranges from -10°C to + 40°C.
WARNING!
The CATALYTIC probe does not tolerate a gas detection exceeding 100% of L.E.L., with consequent
natural death of the sensor.
Each immediate puff of gas that exceeds 100% of L.E.L. takes away months of life from the sensor.
The detector must be tested by simulating the presence of gas by issuing it from a pre-calibrated testing
aerosol.
A common cigarette lighter near the sensor does not guarantee excellent functioning.

Currently national standards enforceable in the installation country covering the installation and use of gas powered
equipment are to be respected, as are standards covering smoke dispersion and ventilation of enclosed areas, even
though gas detection equipment is installed.
Essential element for the correct functioning of the detector is its correct installation.
Following the suggestions in this section you will get a high accuracy combined with a total absence of false
alarms.
The RGX100Q/Eg is an equipment adapted to be mounted externally on a wall. Installing, it is fine to use
ordinary care that requires an electronic device, and then:
- Install the detector away from sources of excessive heat.
- Avoid that liquids come into contact with the detector RGX100Q/Eg , remembering that its external structure
has degree of protection IP42.
The detector should not be installed:
- in environments where the temperature drops below 10 ° C or rises above 40 ° C.
The detector is equipped to detect different types of gases, and according to these, its must to be positioned
at different heights.
These heights are:
- 30 cm from the lowest point of the floor in order to detect heavy gases (LPG, etc)
- 30 cm from the highest point of the ceiling in order to detect light gase (Methane etc)
- Install detectors from 1 to 4 m from gas appliances
Installation measures and positioning
1)By providing the proper voltage with an external switch, which must be provided with safety fuses, you will see that
the POWER LED, wait 60 seconds, after this time the RGX100Q/Eg is ready to detect.
2)Pressing the TEST button, you get the simulation of a gas leak and the detector performs the following actions: The
LED ALARM will turn on and the relay will change its working state after 5 seconds. Ceased the alarm, the LED will
turn off, it will stop the buzzer sound and the connected devices will be disabled.
*To complete the general test, emit gas from a calibration bottle pre-calibrated within 20% of the LEL.
Do a test with a common cigarette lighter could cause damage to the sensor.
We recommend that you make this test at least once a year.
