Smart Methane® units are ATEX zone 2 rated, and wake at pre-determined cycles to take gas readings.
Where the sampled reading is above 4.5% LEL, the unit alarms through inbuilt intrinsically safe circuitry and SIM card to a portal.

Detection and Monitoring
The Smart Methane Detector is a self-monitoring Methane detection device designed to be utilised in situations of failing but gas tight pipework and other areas of leakage. The Smart Methane Detector is a revolutionary safety device that prevents frequent leakage check in and around client properties, minimilising the need for physical checks.
Our devices are designed for seamless installation, ensuring quick setup with minimal disruption and adaptability to a wide range of environments, from residential properties to large commercial buildings. Equipped with a SIM card, the detector provides real-time monitoring of methane levels, sending data directly to your secure client portal. Should methane levels exceed safe thresholds, the system triggers instant alerts via email or SMS, enabling swift responses to potential hazards.
Through your secure client portal, you can access detailed reports and trend analyses, ensuring compliance with safety regulations without the need for constant manual checks. Additionally, our dedicated team is always available to offer technical support, maintenance, and emergency assistance whenever required.

Logging & Compliance
Each client has their own unique secure account on the Smart Compliance portal. The portal is hosted on a secure server which comply to____
Each detector communicates directly with the Smart Compliance postal using a roaming SIM card which picks up the strongest signal in the area. This, in turn, communicates with multiple mobile devices.
Our clients can manage their own account from users, locations and alerts. The device can be moved to multiple locations by simply uploading the information through the portal.
Our devices are currently used by GDNs such as Cadent Gas, throughout the UK and all connected to the main customer service line 0800 111 999
About Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide or CO is a colourless and odourless but highly poisonous gas. It is produced by carbon-based fuel appliances when fuel is improperly burnt, and fumes escape into enclosed spaces. If your household, or your tenant’s household uses natural gas, LPG, oil or solid fuel for heating or cooking, you should be aware of the danger carbon monoxide poses if heating and cooking equipment isn’t properly installed and maintained.
Simple defects such as badly adjusted burners, blocked flues, dirty jets, and poor ventilation cause around 40 deaths per year in the UK alone. Additionally, more than 200 people are hospitalised each year and it is likely that many thousands of people are suffering flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue without realising the true cause.
Signs of Carbon Monoxide
Purchasing a Smart Compliance detector is by far the best way to detect carbon monoxide, as it not only alerts you to the presence of CO but also reports it to a remote device such as a smartphone. Owners of gas, oil, LPG, or solid fuel appliances should suspect carbon monoxide if:
How It Works - Signs of Carbon Monoxide
-
Other People in Your Home or Workplace Fall Ill with Symptoms such as Headaches, Nausea, Dizziness, and Fatigue
-
You Have the Above Symptoms, But They Disappear When You Are Away from Home and Return When You Come Back
-
Symptoms Become Noticeable When You Are Using Your Heating System
-
Your Pets Become Ill
-
You Have Black, Sooty Marks on the Front Covers of Gas Fires, Boilers, Stoves, or Fires
-
You Have Smoke Building Up in Your Rooms
-
You Have Yellow instead of Blue Flames Coming from Gas Appliances
Medical Effects of Carbon Monoxide
If you breathe in carbon monoxide, it enters the bloodstream and mixes with the haemoglobin which carries oxygen around your body. This forms carboxyhaemoglobin, and the blood becomes unable to carry oxygen, causing cells and tissue to die.
Carbon monoxide levels as relatively low as 35 parts per million (PPM) still cause symptoms such as headache and dizziness after several hours of exposure. 200 PPM is enough to cause headaches and loss of judgement within just a couple of hours. 800 PPM will make you unconscious within a couple of hours, and 1600 PPM will kill in less than 2 hours.
Recent tragedies involving fumes produced by disposable barbecues within tents, boats, and caravans sadly illustrate the potency of carbon monoxide in a confined space.
Many medical practitioners and researchers are also very concerned that we do not know enough about the effects of long-term exposure to carbon monoxide, even at low levels which do not cause readily identifiable symptoms. Householders with heart or lung conditions, the elderly, and pregnant women are thought to be at particular risk.
