Safe-T-Alert MGD-10XL Marine Gas/Propane Fume Detector, Surface Mount

The Safe-T-Alert MGD-10XL Marine Gas/Propane Fume Detector protects your boat from gas and propane spills or leaks by monitoring the bilge or engine compartment during and after fueling. The remote sensor can also be installed in the galley or LP tank locker to guard against propane leaks in living spaces. It detects gasoline, propane, alcohol, acetone, hydrogen, and most other flammable gases before they reach dangerous concentrations.

A dual signaling system gives both an audible sound alarm and a visual warning light, so the alert is noticeable whether you are on deck or below. The built-in Smart Sensor continuously monitors for the buildup of explosive gases, and the On/Off/Test button lets you run a one-touch check of detector performance at any time. The unit is designed and built specifically for the vibration, humidity, and temperature swings of a marine environment, and mounts to the surface rather than requiring a flush cutout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Safe-T-Alert MGD-10XL detect? The MGD-10XL detects gasoline, propane, alcohol, acetone, hydrogen, and most other flammable gases that can accumulate in a boat's bilge, engine compartment, galley, or LP tank locker.

How does the MGD-10XL alert you to a gas leak? It uses a dual signaling system that sounds an audible alarm and activates a visual warning light at the same time, so the alert can be noticed both by sound and by sight.

Is the MGD-10XL surface mounted or flush mounted? The MGD-10XL is a surface mount detector, so it installs onto a mounting surface rather than requiring a flush panel cutout.

What are the dimensions of the MGD-10XL detector? The Safe-T-Alert MGD-10XL measures 3-1/4 inches wide by 2-3/4 inches long by 3/4 inches deep.

How much does the MGD-10XL weigh? The MGD-10XL weighs 1.06 pounds.

What power supply does the MGD-10XL require? It runs on a 12 VDC power supply with an operational voltage range of 7-15 VDC.

What is the operating temperature range of the MGD-10XL? The MGD-10XL is rated to operate from -22 degrees F to 160 degrees F, making it suitable for harsh marine conditions.

What does the On/Off/Test button do? On the MGD-10XL, the On/Off/Test button allows a one-touch check of the detector's alarm performance so you can confirm it is working correctly.

Can the MGD-10XL be installed in the galley instead of the engine compartment? Yes, the MGD-10XL sensor can be installed in the galley or LP tank locker to protect against propane leaks in those areas, in addition to bilge or engine compartment use.

What color and material is the MGD-10XL housing? The Safe-T-Alert MGD-10XL has a black plastic housing designed for surface mounting.

Does the MGD-10XL use a smart sensor? Yes, the MGD-10XL includes a Smart Sensor that continuously monitors for the buildup of explosive gases in the monitored space.

Is the MGD-10XL built specifically for marine use? The MGD-10XL is designed and built specifically to hold up in marine environments, unlike general-purpose household gas detectors.
