Overview

The Vimar VM01895.G is a replacement sensor for the Gas Stop GPL LPG detector 01895, used to alert you to LPG leaks on board before they build up in an enclosed space.

It is intended for LPG-type flammable gases including butane (C4H10), and it is not a sensor for methane (CH4) or toxic gases. The sensor body measures 90 mm wide with a 146 mm height/depth, which helps when you are matching the footprint of the original installation.

This is a spare part for restoring an existing detection system, not a stand-alone alarm. It is commonly used anywhere propane or butane is carried on a boat, such as near a cylinder locker, regulator area, or the lower section of a galley space.

Key features

• Replacement sensor for the Gas Stop GPL LPG detector 01895
• Detection focus includes LPG-related flammable gases such as butane (C4H10)
• Not suitable for methane (CH4), domestic gas, or toxic gas detection
• Physical size: 90 mm width and 146 mm height/depth
• Intended for use within alarm, emergency call, and signalling system installations

Compatibility and fit

This sensor is meant to work as the replaceable sensing element for the Vimar Gas Stop GPL detector 01895. It is a like-for-like spare part for that detector family and does not change the system into a methane or multi-gas detector.

Installation and setup

Replace the sensor in the same mounting position used by the original unit, and secure the wiring so it cannot rub on sharp edges or move with vibration. LPG is heavier than air, so the sensing point is typically kept low in the compartment being monitored, close to likely leak points such as cylinder lockers and regulator connections.

Keep the sensor area open to the compartment air and avoid locations that routinely collect standing water or get hit by direct spray.

Maintenance and checks

After installation, confirm normal operation using the test method specified for your existing detector setup. Keep the sensing area clear of paint, sealants, and strong solvents, since contamination can affect how a gas sensor responds over time.
