BEP 600-GDL Gas Detector
Combustible-Gas Alarm | Pulse & Hold Solenoid Control | One 5m Sensor
The BEP 600-GDL adds gas-valve control to the 600-GD alarm platform. It monitors up to two combustible-gas sensors, provides visual/audible warnings and can energise a compatible solenoid using a high-current pull-in pulse followed by a lower holding current.
Key Features
- ✔ LPG and petrol-vapour detection with compatible sensor placement
- ✔ Visual and audible alarm at 20% LEL
- ✔ Pulse & Hold solenoid-valve control
- ✔ Support for two sensors; one 5m sensor supplied
- ✔ Self-test plus external alarm/bilge-blower provision

Compatibility / Fitment Guide
| Check | Required specification | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Supply | 12V or 24V DC system within 10–32V | Detector and selected solenoid must be matched to the vessel voltage. |
| Sensor location | Position for the actual combustible-gas risk | LPG and petrol vapours collect low; mount away from routine splash and contamination. |
| Valve | Approved normally closed solenoid compatible with the Pulse & Hold output | Confirm valve voltage, current, thread, regulator arrangement and market approval with the gas installer. |
| Outputs | External alarm/blower within 800mA and solenoid within 700mA pulse/250mA hold | Use approved relays/interfaces if a load exceeds the output. |
| Commissioning | Complete LPG/petrol safety system tested after installation | A competent installer must leak-test gas plumbing and function-test alarm and shut-off. |
Not suitable for: CO or smoke detection, unapproved valves/regulators, direct loads above output ratings, installations without correct sensor placement, or use without competent gas-system commissioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a shut-off valve supplied?
Not unless specifically stated. This listing is for the detector package; verify exact box contents.
What is Pulse & Hold?
The output applies up to 700mA to pull in the valve, then reduces to about 250mA to hold it with less heat and power.
Can it detect carbon monoxide?
No. Install a separate approved CO alarm where required.
Can I add a second sensor?
Yes. The controller supports two sensors; one 5m sensor is supplied and the second is optional.
Before ordering: Verify detector model, supply voltage, sensor placement, valve/regulator approvals, output currents and professional commissioning.
