The Nautitech® Methane Master with hybrid snout is designed and tested for STATIC and DYNAMIC conditions in underground mining where there are sudden shocks in temperature and/or humidity. Methane Master monitors and measures the concentration of methane in hazardous environments and is the leading shut-down and start-up system in Australia.
Methane Master shut-down and start-up system is customisable to suit the specific needs of an underground site and is the most widely used CH4 system in Australian coal mines. Applications include safe start-up or shut-down on mobile plant such as diesel powered vehicles and other mining machinery.
Recent enhancements include:
- Hybrid Snout certified under IECEx MSC 21.0004X for accurate monitoring of CH4 levels during sudden changes in temperature or humidity – typically encountered in double-door scenarios
- Sintered filter kit increases ingress protection and improves response time
- Software updates allow for manual adjustment of display brightness and the convenience of automated time and telemetry response testing for compliance to AS/NZS 2290.3.2018 requirements
Standard components include an IS sensor and interface board with sintered filter kit for increased ingress protection and a snout that allows for quick removal of sensor head for calibration. Working hand in hand with the HawkEye Display, the Methane Master provides clear graphics and mission critical data at a glance.
Customisable components allow you to choose your enclosure, batteries and power supplies to suit.
Build your system with a range of sensor options including CAN gauges, switches, temperature and pressure sensors, injectors, and floats.
Features of the Nautitech® Methane Master include:
- Shock resistance to sudden changes in temperature or humidity
- Manual and automated time response and telemetry testing to AS2290.3.2018 standards
- Critical information at a glance
- Intrinsically Safe (IS) sensor
- Shock resistant to temperature and humidity
- Rugged stainless steel construction
- Robust ingress protection
- Infrared sensing technology
- Fast warm-up times
- Not susceptible to “poisoning”
Methane Master can be used in conjunction with Nautitech® Spitfire® modems, and Thermal and HD Cameras.
