Safe-T-Alert Marine Gas/Propane Vapor Detector MTI-MGD-1 with Remote Sensor and On/Off/Test Button

The Safe-T-Alert Marine Gas/Propane Vapor Detector (MTI-MGD-1) is a flush-mount safety instrument built to warn boat owners of dangerous explosive vapor buildup before it becomes a hazard. Designed exclusively for marine use, it is engineered to survive harsh onboard environments while continuously monitoring for gasoline, hydrogen from batteries, propane, alcohol, acetone, CNG, and other explosive vapors.

A remote sensor is used to help prevent accidents in the bilge or engine compartment during and after fueling, and the sensor can also be installed in the galley or an LP tank locker to guard against propane leaks in living spaces. The detector uses dual signaling, combining an audible sound alarm with a visual warning light so the alert can be recognized by sight or sound. Its smart sensor technology is tuned to detect the buildup of explosive gases and trigger an alarm once vapor levels reach 20 percent or less of the lower explosive limit of gasoline, propane, and CNG.

Operation is kept simple with a single On/Off/Test button that allows a one-touch check of detector performance at any time. The unit is sized to fit a standard 2-1/8 inch dash panel blank, making it a straightforward flush-mount installation in helm and cabin locations already prepped for a round instrument cutout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Safe-T-Alert MTI-MGD-1 detect? The Safe-T-Alert MTI-MGD-1 detects gasoline, hydrogen from batteries, propane, alcohol, acetone, CNG, and other explosive vapors, making it suited to monitoring bilge, engine compartment, galley, and LP tank locker areas.

Where should the MTI-MGD-1 sensor be installed? The remote sensor on the MTI-MGD-1 is typically installed in the bilge or engine compartment to catch fumes during and after fueling, or in the galley or LP tank locker to protect against propane leaks.

How does the alarm alert the crew? The Safe-T-Alert MTI-MGD-1 uses dual signaling, combining an audible sound alarm with a visual warning light so the alert can be noticed by sight or sound.

At what level does the detector trigger an alarm? The MTI-MGD-1 triggers its alarm at 20 percent or less of the lower explosive limit of gasoline, propane, and CNG.

What size cutout does this detector need? The MTI-MGD-1 is sized to fit a standard 2-1/8 inch dash panel blank, so it installs into round instrument cutouts of that size.

How much power does the MTI-MGD-1 draw? This detector has a current draw of 200 milliamp (.2 amp) and runs on a 12 VDC power supply with an operational voltage range of +/- 15 percent.

How do I test that the MTI-MGD-1 is working? A single On/Off/Test button on the Safe-T-Alert MTI-MGD-1 allows a one-touch check of detector performance at any time.

Is the MTI-MGD-1 built for marine use? Yes, the MTI-MGD-1 is designed exclusively for marine use and built to survive harsh onboard marine environments.

How much does the MTI-MGD-1 weigh? The Safe-T-Alert MTI-MGD-1 weighs 1 pound.

Can the MTI-MGD-1 detect battery-related hazards? Yes, along with gasoline and propane, the MTI-MGD-1 is designed to detect hydrogen given off by batteries.
