3GAS+ Square gas alarm - 12 V gas detector for motorhomes, campers & caravans
Low stock
The 3GAS+ Square (K50001) is a compact, professional 12 V/24 V gas alarm for motorhomes, campervans, caravans and boats.
It was specially developed for mobile use and provides reliable protection against liquefied gases and narcotic gases in the vehicle interior.
More safety when sleeping, traveling and staying overnight - for adults, children and pets.
Why a gas alarm in a motorhome makes sense
Leaking gas pipes, defective appliances or loose connections can cause dangerous gas concentrations to build up unnoticed. This poses a considerable risk, especially at night.
The 3GAS+ Square continuously monitors the ambient air and provides an early warning before gases become a danger.
Which gases does the 3GAS+ Square detect?
Without an additional sensor, the 3GAS+ Square detects
- Propane
- butane
- Ether / VOCs (narcotic gases)
These gases can be explosive or - in the case of certain VOCs - have an anaesthetic effect in high concentrations.
⚠️ Carbon monoxide (CO)
Carbon monoxide is only detected in conjunction with the optional CO sensor (K50003).
The 3GAS+ Square (K50001) alone is not a CO detector.
Modularly expandable - ideal for campers & larger vehicles
The big advantage of the 3GAS+ Square is its modular sensor system:
-
Extra sensor (K50002)
Additional gas monitoring at another position in the vehicle -
Extra CO sensor (K50003)
Necessary for detecting carbon monoxide (CO), e.g. in gas heaters, boilers or in the sleeping area
For optimum gas monitoring, it is recommended to work with two sensors (base unit + additional sensor).
Installation & mounting recommendation
- Connection to the vehicle's 12 V or 24 V on-board voltage
- The 3GAS+ Square should be mounted approx. 30 cm above the ground
(ideal for sinking gases such as propane and butane)
Recommended installation with additional sensor:
- Base unit: approx. 30 cm above the floor
-
Optional additional sensor:
At least 1.5 m above the floor and approx. 20 cm below the ceiling
(ideal for rising gases)
This combination ensures particularly reliable gas monitoring throughout the entire interior.
Function test & maintenance
To ensure fault-free operation, the ambient air must not contain any environmentally harmful gases.
The functionality should be checked regularly.
How to test the gas alarm:
- Switch on the device and wait for the self-test
- The green LED lights up continuously → Device ready for operation
- Hold a gas lighter without a flame to the side of the openings
- After a few seconds, the 40-second pre-alarmstarts
- If gas continues to enter, the continuous alarmfollows
As soon as there is no more gas concentration, the device automatically switches back to standby.

FAQs about the 3GAS+ Square
Does the 3GAS+ Square detect carbon monoxide (CO)?
No. The 3GAS+ Square (K50001) only detects carbon monoxide in conjunction with the optional additional CO sensor (K50003). Without a CO sensor, it is not a CO detector.
Which gases does the 3GAS+ Square detect without an additional sensor?
Without an additional sensor, the 3GAS+ Square detects propane, butane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as ether (often referred to colloquially as "sleeping gas").
Where should the gas alarm be installed in the motorhome?
We recommend approx. 30 cm above the floor (for sinking gases such as propane/butane). For optimum monitoring, we recommend using a second sensor that is mounted at least 1.5 m above the floor and approx. 20 cm below the ceiling.
How can I test the function of the gas alarm?
Switch on the device and wait until the green LED lights up continuously after the self-test. Then let gas from a lighter flow into the openings at the side (only gas, no flame). After a few seconds, the 40-second pre-alarm starts; if more gas enters, the continuous alarm will sound.
For which vehicles is the 3GAS+ Square suitable?
The 3GAS+ Square is suitable for motorhomes, campervans, caravans and boats with a 12 V or 24 V on-board power supply, especially if there is an existing gas installation.
