M5™: Machine-Mounted Methane Monitor

The M5™ is a machine-mounted methane monitor for coal and gassy mines that is a significant improvement over existing units on the market. Because of its unique sensor design, system software and beacon sensor monitoring technology, the M5™ is more precise and maintains no “zero drift” even when environmental conditions vary.

Advanced Methane Monitoring
for Mobile Machines

The M5™ is a next-generation machine-mounted methane monitor engineered for use in underground coal mines and gassy environments. Designed to deliver superior accuracy and reliability, M5™ outperforms traditional methane monitoring systems available in the U.S. mining market.

With its innovative sensor design, advanced software, and beacon sensor monitoring technology, M5™ eliminates “zero drift” and maintains consistent precision, even in changing environmental conditions. This MSHA-approved methane sensor ensures greater safety and compliance while reducing downtime and maintenance demands.

More than 800 M5™ systems are already in operation worldwide, trusted by mine operators for their durability, ease of use, and cost-saving benefits.
