Travel safely in motorhomes & campervans: with the smart gas detector air-Q science

Gas leaks, carbon monoxide, break-ins or a robbery with knockout gas: if you own a motorhome, you are certainly concerned about all these factors. To help you travel with peace of mind, air-Q science monitors the air for harmful substances for you. Find out how you can experience more safety in your motorhome with a gas detector here.

Cook & sleep safely in your motorhome - with the reliable air-Q gas detector

Do you operate gas appliances such as a stove, refrigerator or heater in your motorhome? Then you should check the gas content in the air. If there is a leak, the gas can escape, spread unnoticed inside the motorhome and build up to a dangerous, explosive concentration. A gas detector for the camper is important to protect yourself and your fellow travelers from possible gas poisoning.

Safe on the road with the gas warning device in the motorhome

A gas warning device in your caravan or motorhome is an indispensable companion to make your travels safer. Whether propane, butane or carbon monoxide - escaping gases can become a danger without being noticed. The air-Q science offers a smart solution by reliably detecting various gases and warning you in good time. With its modern technology, it provides peace of mind so that you can enjoy your adventures carefree.

Gas detectors such as the air-Q science measure the air components and report escaping gases. If the concentration exceeds the stored limit value, this is indicated by the visual signals of the LED traffic light display or optionally as an acoustic alarm signal. The air-Q air measuring device also sends you a push message. This allows you to detect gas leaks or other pollutants in the indoor air at an early stage and take action.

By measuring the air in your RV, you can sleep more soundly and healthily. Because (not only) during sleep we exhale carbon dioxide. In confined spaces and with closed windows, there is hardly any sufficient air exchange and so the oxygen content quickly drops. Especially when several people sleep in the mobile home. The carbon dioxide concentration rises rapidly. This can become risky and affect the physical constitution: lack of sleep, exhaustion, lack of concentration and headaches are possible symptoms.

Motorhome gas detector - what can the air-Q science do?

When traveling, the air-Q monitors hazardous substances in the air, e.g. it can detect all types of anesthetic gases and other harmful gases. For this purpose, the air meter analyzes the oxygen drop and triggers an alarm when critical limits are undershot, because anesthetic gases and other harmful gases displace oxygen. Normally, the O2 content in the air does not fluctuate by more than a maximum of 0.5%. Anything above this is exceptional and should be noticed in any case.

With the help of 11 sensors built into the device, air-Q science checks the components of the air in the motorhome for gases such as narcotic gases, methane or carbon monoxide. The air analysis is carried out in real time (interval ~ 1.8 seconds) and continuously. 

Sensors included in air-Q science:

In addition, the gas detector for camper vans has two virtual sensors: absolute humidity and dew point.

With the help of these many sensors, the gas and smoke detector analyzes the development of very many air components in parallel and can warn you of impending dangers in your campervan such as gas leaks, fires, cigarette smoke or even unauthorized access. By knowing what is in the air, you can react faster to pollutants and enjoy your trip more carefree as well as healthier.

Air analyzer, gas & smoke detector in one device

The advantages of air-Q science for campers at a glance:

  • Gas & smoke detector in one device
  • Detect gas leaks early & take action
  • Detect anesthetic gases & sleep peacefully, thanks to anesthetic gas alarm
  • Receive push notifications when there is a risk or unwanted entry - even if you are not on site
  • detects with 11 sensors comprehensively the air components in real time

The handy device takes up hardly any space and is therefore the perfect solution for securing mobile homes and caravans. In the air-Q app or via the web browser with our air-Q web app, you receive all measurement data and information as detailed analyses as well as reports and can track the measured values transparently in various multi-dimensional diagrams. Of course, the measuring device also works without the Internet! 

Protect campers & monitor unauthorized access with air-Q science

You can use the air-Q science as a burglar alarm. This is because the gas detector and air analyzer reacts to any changes in the air quality. The air measuring device even notices when the door of your camper van opens and can identify movements in the room or measure increased CO2 emissions caused by a person breathing. This allows you to measure whether someone is in the van at any time and quickly detect unwanted access - even if you are not in the campervan! With the air-Q app for iOS and Android or via the web version on your PC, you can call up all the data from anywhere and keep an eye on your camper van at all times.

With air-Q science, you can travel stress-free and safely in your motorhome and even see via "remote diagnosis" whether the air is clean.

Summary

Why is a gas warning device important in a motorhome or campervan?

keyboard_arrow_down
A gas warning device protects against the dangers posed by escaping gases such as propane, butane or carbon monoxide. These gases can escape unnoticed and cause serious damage to health or even life-threatening situations. With a gas detector, you can be warned at an early stage and react in good time.

Which gases should a gas detector be able to detect?

keyboard_arrow_down
A good gas detector should be able to detect common gases such as propane, butane, methane and carbon monoxide. These gases are often used in motorhomes and campervans or can escape due to technical defects.

Is a gas detector difficult to operate or install?

keyboard_arrow_down
No, most gas detectors are easy to install and operate. All they need is a suitable place and, if necessary, a power supply, unless they are battery-operated.

Can a gas warning device be used in any caravan or campervan?

keyboard_arrow_down
Yes, gas detectors are suitable for all types of caravans, motorhomes and campervans. However, it is important to choose a device that meets the specific requirements and gas usage of your vehicle.
