The Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor Payload is the newest payload from FLYABILITY. A cutting-edge safety tool designed to enhance drone operations in hazardous environments. It provides real-time detection and warnings for over 14 common flammable gases, including hydrogen, with a resolution of 0.1% Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). The sensor utilizes advanced NevadaNano MPS technology, ensuring accurate gas detection without the need for field calibration. This payload is ideal for industries such as oil and gas, mining, and chemical manufacturing, where it can help monitor atmospheric conditions in confined spaces and improve overall safety during inspections.

Equipped with comprehensive in-flight readings and adjustable LEL thresholds, the Elios 3 Flammable Gas Payload offers continuous coverage and early warnings of hazardous gas concentrations. Its keep-alive functionality ensures reliable performance, even in harsh industrial environments. By integrating this sensor with the Elios 3 drone, operators can gain critical insights into potential dangers, allowing for more informed decision-making and safer operations. This payload compliments existing safety measures, providing an extra layer of protection for drone pilots and workers in high-risk areas.

Comprehensive in-flight reading

When the drone is powered on, the Flammable Gas Sensor automatically activates, displaying gas concentrations in % LEL directly in the Cockpit App. If the gas concentration reaches the user-set threshold, a warning will appear on the screen to alert the pilot.

Keep-alive functionality during battery handling

To ensure continuous operation, the Flammable Gas Sensor functions independently of the drone’s power supply, allowing the pilot to change the battery without needing to redo the bump test or sensor initialization, which must be performed in clean air. This follows a similar workflow to traditional sensors.

Take safety to new heights by remotely detecting flammable gases during drone operations

Factory-calibrated and equipped with built-in self-testing, the Elios 3 Flammable Gas Sensor requires no field calibration, ensuring continuous fail-safe operations in harsh industrial environments such as those in Oil & Gas, Mining, Maritime, Chemical, Wastewater treatment, and Industrial Manufacturing.

Reliably detect 14+ flammable gases, including hydrogen

The Elios 3 Gas Warning Sensor can detect and quantify over 14 of the most common combustible gases — including hydrogen — with a resolution of 0.1% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), reporting both gas type and concentration. It can identify even the slightest changes in gas levels and provide early warnings, enhancing safety across a wide range of operational scenarios.

ELIOS 3 FLAMMABLE GAS SENSOR PAYLOAD FEATURES:

• Nevadanano + MPS tech: Nevadanano is a trusted Flammable gases sensors manufacturer and inventor of MPS technology.
• In-Flight Readings: Sensor status, gauge defined threshold, max recorded LEL % value, LEL live value, gas class.
• Real-Time Detection:  Provides real-time warning for over 14+ flammable gases, including hydrogen. with a resolution of 0.1% Lower Explosive Limit (LEL).
