Hydrogen Gas Detector for AC and DC Applications

Protect from hydrogen gas buildup in battery rooms and facilities in any industry

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – (October 15, 2013) The HGD-2000 Hydrogen Gas Detector by Eagle Eye Power Solutions is now available for DC power sources in addition to AC power. The DC-powered HGD-2000 gas detectors are commonly found in telecoms, in addition to utilities and battery charging and storing rooms. To learn more about the battery industry’s most popular mounted gas detector please visit: http://www.eepowersolutions.com/products/hgd-2000-hydrogen-gas-detector/.

The Eagle Eye HGD-2000 Hydrogen Gas Detector allows the user to monitor hydrogen gas buildup in storage rooms and facilities that house batteries - including forklifts, golf carts, backup power supplies, and battery charging stations. Lead-acid batteries on charge emit hydrogen gas after reaching the 80% recharge point. When mixed with enough air, hydrogen becomes a highly flammable gas that can ignite easily with just a spark, destroying equipment and harming personnel. The lower explosive level (LEL) for hydrogen is 4.1% by volume. The dangers of hydrogen gas explosion are eliminated by using the HGD-2000 hydrogen gas detector.

The HGD-2000 is simple and easy-to-use and easy-to-install for both AC & DC power sources. If the concentration of hydrogen gas in the air surrounding the sensor reaches 1% by volume, the yellow LED will light and the 1% internal relay will close. A four second delay prevents false activation. If the concentration reaches 2%, the red LED will flash, the internal 80 db warning alarm will sound, and the 2% internal relay will close. The HGD-2000 is an inexpensive, preventative tool for equipment and personnel protection where hydrogen gas buildup can occur.

Eagle Eye Power Solutions is committed to offering the best critical battery monitoring, testing and charging solutions in the industry with unbeatable support. Eagle Eye offers 24/7 battery monitoring systems, portable battery resistance testers, digital hydrometers, AC & DC Load Banks, Gas Detectors and other additional solutions for your testing needs.

What Does a Load Bank Do?


Running a business can sometimes be a very difficult task. There are many aspects that go into running a business effectively. Organization and efficiency are paramount, but there are some things that are out of a company’s control when it comes to technology and power. When it comes to making sure that a building’s power is running correctly, certain equipment is needed in order to assess the situation. Power systems are very intricate pieces of technology and are useful in keeping a building’s power running strongly, so that business can be conducted properly.

Many business owners do not recognize the importance of monitoring the power system of the building that they use for business. It is not usually until the power supply fails or has a problem that the business owner realizes that it could have been avoided. A load bank is a very important piece of technology that can solve this problem. Load banks are used to test the battery of a building’s power system. What this means is that a load bank aims to tell the owner of the building or the business owner if the power supply is having any problems

The load bank’s job is to develop the load, apply that load to the power source and then convert the result into a power output that can be read and analyzed. The load that the load bank applies to the power source is designed to see how the power source reacts so that any problems can be detected. We at Eagle Eye Power Solutions aim to provide high-quality products directly to businesses that rely on items, such as load banks, in order to keep running efficiently. Many people turn to our website because of our excellent customer service and our wide range of products. Shopping online through our site is extremely easy, and we deliver to places of residence or business. If you’re looking for a fantastic, durable and dependable item, such as a load bank, that you can use to test your power supply, trust Eagle Eye Power Solutions. Our aim is to provide exactly what you need, right when you need it.

What Is a Battery Load Tester and When Should it be Used?

Load banks, also known as battery load testers, are electronic devices that are designed to create an electrical load. The loads that these machines create are then taken to power sources and plugged in to generate an artificial load. The reason for this is so that the machine can calculate whether or not the source (this being the battery or electrical current that the location runs on) will be able to operate with the intended amount of energy.

A battery load tester is something that should be used if a company or business intends on using a certain amount of energy in order to keep the machinery, electronics, and other energy consumption devices running. The battery load tester is then taken to the location and turned on to see if the intended amount of energy that the company is counting on will be available. This is a key element in starting any business or in creating the infrastructure for housing or business housing, as the electrical availability should be adequate for the business and the amounts of consumption that are necessary for these areas. Inadequate forethought and planning can result in power outages and can also result in devastating effects on the business’s equipment and hardware when they are cut from power.

Another important application for battery load testers is to test the backup batteries that are responsible for backing up power to businesses and houses. Before a backup battery system can be installed, the proper power load specifications need to be calculated and tested. In fact, this is where battery load testers got their name, because this is one of their most popular and useful applications.

Battery load testers can also be used for battery monitoring and battery testing. Because the load that is applied to the power source is indistinguishable from all of the equipment a company would run on it, battery load testers should be the first place to go if a power source or backup battery power source is going to be used. This will ensure that the source will provide an adequate energy surge when the equipment is plugged in and when the source needs to handle that power.

A Density Meter Can Be Used in Many Great Ways

Density meters are used throughout various industries to measure the mass or thickness of materials in the form of liquids, gaseous and solid elements. Generally the information is used in analysis and scientific research. A density meter calculates the mass per unit volume by taking into account the physical conditions and other factors of the substance being measured. Both of these features play a part in the density meter readings. Standard methods calculate the mass and volume for density for solid substances compressed. Differences occur when measuring the density of solids or liquids since these materials can shift within the same occupied space altering its density. Temperatures may also affect density meter reading, most meters have the ability to adjust the characteristics according to the conditions and substances being measured.

Today, density meters are available in hand held meters for use in factory and field locations performing examinations. There are also individual density meters, which are part of a company’s testing equipment. Technology has allowed these density meters to function precisely with digital readings using the latest laboratory techniques. When selecting density meters environments, materials and equipment applications should be considered to ensure that production capacity and product quality are maintained. Temperatures are another consideration, precautions with low flash point substances need to be monitored. Overall, the density meters reduce human error, which shrinks costs for the company and eliminates the need to immobilize production.

The need for density meters has expanded in the fuel and manufacturing industries, because of its capability to calculate and regulate amounts of liquid continuously. These industries may rely on the in tank and flow versions of meters to manage and control liquids. Portal meters which are submersed at a specific level can record spot density and real time temperatures. In some instances using a density meter can help to reduce costs of test sampling without interference to the level of product quality, particularly for the petrochemical and fuel industries. Training and proper use of the meters is also critical, especially when phase testing or inspections are being replaced with the use of density meters.

The Importance of Density Meters and Energy Monitoring Systems

Portable diagnosis systems are an amazing unit to keep you informed and aware of your battery systems.  Many large companies have Emergency generators and emergency battery rooms in their facility.  Some of the groups may be: Energy Power Station, Power Plants, Banks and Hospitals, to name a few.  It is very important for these groups to maintain power even in times off outages and emergency situations, which is why items such as density meters and energy monitoring systems are important.

Density meters and energy monitoring systems can keep your back up energy systems in check when they are not in use, in a safe and quick manner.  Speedy processing is important to keep your facility heading on the right path as well as for the care of your workers.  Testing all of the batteries in the Battery room, where all of your backups are, can be dangerous, so the less hands on that a person has to be with the batteries the better.

IBEX units are some of the most proficient and quick meters on the market.  With a roughly three second turn around time for testing the IBEX is at the top of the market in speed of processing information.  Not only is it fast, but it is also very lightweight but durable.

Testing batteries is not the safest job, but with the proper supplies and equipment it can be done proficiently with less of a risk than in previous years.
