    Reliably detect flammable gases in hazardous areas, with Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor, enhancing awareness of atmospheric conditions inside your assets to quickly adjust safety measures during drone operations. Complement traditional handheld sensors with airborne detection to ensure continuous flammable gas monitoring, streamlining risk assessments and accelerating permit approvals. 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.

    Important notice:
    The Flammable Gas Sensor is designed as an extra safeguard for detecting flammable gases. It is meant to complement, not replace, existing safety measures and protocols. Please note that the sensor itself does not reduce or eliminate the potential risks associated with operating the Elios 3 non-ATEX drone in flammable environments.

    Take safety to new heights by remotely detecting flammable gases during drone operations

    • 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.

    Features

    Below, you will find the main features of the product.

    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.

    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, customizing alerts to fit specific environmental and operational needs.

    Powered by NevadaNano

    The Elios 3 Gas Warning Sensor has been developed in partnership with NevadaNano, a leader in advanced gas detection technology with over 20 years of experience. Leveraging NevadaNano’s proprietary Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS™) sensors, the Elios 3 Gas Warning Sensor offers the most accurate readings in the market for over 14 of the most common combustible gases — including hydrogen — meeting the highest standards in real-time gas monitoring.

    With Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS) technology

    The Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor utilizes 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.

    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 initialization, which must be performed in clean air. This follows a similar workflow to traditional sensors.
