Still using outdated gas detectors — or none at all? You’re not alone. But here’s the hard truth: failure to detect gases like carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide or low oxygen levels early can put lives at risk and shut down entire operations.

That’s where fit-for-purpose gas detection equipment makes all the difference.

At Accumax, we’ve released a new range of gas detection products that solve the most common
problems we hear about from mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, and confined space clients. These
products are already in use across high-risk worksites — and available to order now.

Let’s answer the biggest questions buyers are asking:

“How do I know what gas detection device I actually need?”

The answer depends on your environment and the gases you’re likely to encounter. In most cases, you’ll need to monitor one or more of the following:

• Toxic gases – carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia (NH₃), etc.
• Flammable gases – methane (CH₄), propane (C₃H₈), acetylene
• Oxygen levels – to detect oxygen-deficient or enriched environments

The good news? Our gas detection range covers all three — with both single-gas and multi-gas options available.

Top picks from our range include:

• AM-XA-4000II Multi-Gas Detector – CO, H₂S, O₂, and combustible gas in one
• AM-XO-326IIs Digital Oxygen Indicator – long-life, low-maintenance oxygen detection
• AM-XX-2200 Personal Monitor – compact, wearable, with loud alerts and vibration

“We work in rough environments. What if the equipment fails?”

Most standard detectors aren’t designed for real-world Aussie conditions. But ours are. Every unit in this release has been chosen because it can handle:

• Dusty and wet sites – with IP65 to IP67 protection
• Tough knocks – compact, rugged housing and long sensor life
• Confined space use – internal pump sampling and fast detection time

Need proof?

The AM-XP-300011 Series detectors have an IP67 waterproof rating, explosive gas certification, and measure up to 32 gases. Add in 15-hour battery life and built-in alarms — and you’ve got a workhorse ready for any site.

“We don’t have time to wait around for delivery.”

You won’t have to.

All gas detection products in this release are in stock now and ready to freight across Australia. That includes portable handheld detectors, fixed detector heads, and VOC monitoring systems.

So whether you’re upgrading existing gear or setting up from scratch, you’ll have what you need in hand — fast.

“What if I need a fixed system instead of portable gear?”

We’ve got that covered too. This range includes:

• Fixed detector heads – like the AM-KD-12 Series and AM-PD-12 suction-type models
• Gas alarm systems – such as the AM-NV-120 for single-point alerts
• Indicator panels – including the AM-UV-810 for multi-point system control

Perfect for manufacturing facilities, storage areas, and process rooms where continuous monitoring is essential.

Why act now?

Because the risks don’t wait. And neither should you. These detectors are ready to deploy — and they’re already delivering results for our clients.
