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 mobile home? Then you should check the gas content in the air. Because in the event of a leak, the gas can escape, spread unnoticed inside the camper 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.

Gas detectors such as the air-Q Safety Guard 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. In addition, the air-Q air measuring device 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.

What can the air-Q Safety Guard 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, the air-Q Safety Guard checks the components of the air in the motor home for gases such as narcotic gases, methane or carbon monoxide. The air analysis is performed in real time (interval ~ 1.8 seconds) and continuously.

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.

The advantages of the air-Q select Safety Guard 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 the air-Q Safety Guard

You can use the air-Q select Safety Guard as a burglar alarm. Because the gas detector and air analyzer reacts to any change in the air quality. So the air meter even notices when the door of your camper opens and can identify movements in the room, or measure increased CO2 emissions caused by a person breathing. This allows you to measure if someone is in the van at any time and quickly detect unwanted entry - even if you are not in the campervan! With the air-Q app for iOS and Android or via web version on the PC, you can retrieve all data from anywhere and always have your camper van in view.

With the air-Q select Safety Guard, you travel stress-free as well as safely in your motorhome and even see by "remote diagnosis" whether the air is clean.
