Kentec KD-FLAM-GAS K-Detect-iON

K-Detect-iON is a high-sensitivity, calibration-free gas sensor designed to work seamlessly with Kentec’s fire detection and extinguishing systems. It monitors for the presence of hydrogen and other flammable gases released during battery degradation or failure, providing early warning before heat, smoke, or flame is present.

Ideal for use in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and enclosed technical environments like Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) rooms. K-Detect-iON enables proactive action to reduce risk and prevent escalation. The sensor includes three relay outputs: two for gas concentration thresholds and one for fault indication. These outputs support coordinated system responses such as venting, shutdown, or escalation, helping operators act quickly and effectively.

Compact and robust, K-Detect-iON is easy to install and requires no recalibration throughout its 10+ year lifespan—minimising maintenance while ensuring long-term reliability. By detecting the release of explosive gases at an early stage, the sensor plays a vital role in protecting lives, preserving infrastructure, and supporting safety compliance in high-risk environments.

What is K-Detect-iON?

K-Detect-iON is a flammable gas detector capable of detecting over 10 different gas types and gives warning of their presence at low concentration levels before they become a flammable hazard.

What gases does K-Detect-iON detect?

K-Detect-iON is capable of detecting multiple Hydrocarbon gases such as Hydrogen H2 and Methane CH4, for a full list, see our product datasheet available through our website. K-Detect-iON is also capable of detecting Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are emitted by Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) during critical conditions like electrolyte leaks, overcharging and electrolysis which can lead to fires or explosions if not detected early enough.

What makes K-Detect-iON unique?

K-Detect-iON is the only flammable gas sensor to offer calibration-free sensing and UL 2075 certified.

What approvals does K-Detect-iON have?

K-Detect-iON has been tested and ETL listed to UL 2075 and therefore is suitable for use with Kentec’s UL approved range of control panels to provide a UL approved system.
