Flyability Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor: Redefining Confined Space Safety

Confined space inspections demand a higher level of caution, especially when flammable gases are involved. The Flyability Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor is engineered to enhance safety in these challenging environments, allowing operators to remotely detect combustible gases in real-time.

Designed for use with the Elios 3 drone, this sensor provides vital atmospheric insights, ensuring that inspections within tanks, tunnels, and other restricted spaces can be conducted with confidence and precision, minimizing risk to personnel.

Revolutionary MPS™ Technology from NevadaNano for Precise Gas Detection

At the heart of the Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor lies the Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS) technology from NevadaNano—a breakthrough in gas detection science.

Unlike conventional sensors, the MPS™ leverages molecular-level analysis to identify and quantify over 14 different flammable gases, including hydrogen, with exceptional accuracy.

This technology uses a self-cleaning mechanism, built-in environmental compensation, and self-testing capabilities, ensuring consistent, reliable performance even in extreme conditions.

NevadaNano’s MPS™ not only eliminates the need for recalibration but also provides robust, real-time monitoring, making it an ideal solution for confined space inspections where safety cannot be compromised.

Independent Power and Seamless Payload Compatibility

The Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor features an independent power system, allowing it to remain active even during drone battery swaps. This keep-alive functionality is essential for efficient workflows, as it eliminates the need for a new bump test each time the drone’s battery is changed, ensuring that inspections can continue seamlessly.

Additionally, the sensor integrates smoothly with other Elios 3 payloads, such as ultrasonic testing (UT) tools, enabling operators to perform multiple inspection tasks in a single flight.

This compatibility maximizes the Elios 3’s effectiveness, offering a comprehensive solution for confined space inspections and beyond.

Real-Time In-Flight Readings with Customizable LEL Thresholds

The Flyability Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor provides continuous in-flight readings, displaying gas concentration levels in real-time directly on the pilot’s screen. This immediate visibility allows operators to make quick, informed decisions when hazardous conditions arise.

To enhance adaptability across different environments, the sensor also features an adjustable lower explosive limit (LEL) threshold, enabling users to set custom alert levels based on specific operational needs.

This flexibility ensures that inspections remain both safe and efficient, as the sensor can be finely tuned to detect gas concentrations that align with each unique inspection scenario.
