When to Consider a Toxic and/or Combustible Gas Sensing System
Properly measuring indoor air quality (IAQ) will depend on your application. We most commonly see school classrooms and office conference rooms monitoring for CO2 buildup during times of high occupancy. We are also very familiar with monitoring CO and NO2 in parking garages due to automobile and diesel exhaust fumes. ACI has a very diverse sensor offering, with over 40 different sensor models to choose from. We can assist with these more common applications, as well as many specialty applications such as monitoring for freon leaks in chiller plants, monitoring for hydrogen in battery storage applications, and many more!
Getting Started
As outlined above, there are several scenarios to consider when selecting a toxic and/or combustible gas detection system.
To streamline this process, please send us your application specifications and answer the following questions:
- What kind of space will you be monitoring?
- What is the square footage?
- Which toxic and/or combustible gas(es) will you be monitoring?
- What kind of output will you need?
- If possible, send a floor plan of the facility. This will aid us in making product recommendations and designing a wiring diagram customized to your needs. You’ll be ready to install your sensors – faster.

Customer Success Story: Parking Ramp Application
An engineer recently contacted me about a hotel construction project his company was bidding on. As our discussion progressed, the engineer revealed the hotel structure included a parking garage with multiple stories underground. With our Technical Support Team, we suggested using our Toxic and Combustible Gas Detection Transmitters.
After careful consideration, we suggested our Q6, two-piece, combination sensors that have a CO sensing main unit with a separate remote sensing unit. The remote sensing unit was to sense NO2, and the design of the Q6 allowed it to be mounted where that specific gas collects vs. CO. Utilizing the remote sensing unit promotes more accurate measurements and occupant safety.
Additionally, this project was unique in that during the floor plan review, we recommended placing the sensors in a recessed niche in the support pillars. Our Technical Support Team then created a wiring diagram to assist with wiring the sensors together.
