Macurco Launches Long-Lasting Hydrogen Detector for Data Centers and BESS

SIOUX FALLS, S.D., September 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Macurco, a DwyerOmega brand and a leader in fixed gas detection solutions, has announced the launch of the new HD-6 Hydrogen Gas Detector, designed specifically for continuous hydrogen monitoring in Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) applications and other critical environments where hydrogen detection is essential. The new HD-6 detector is UL 2075-Listed and CAN/ULC 588, and is CE marked, ensuring rigorous electrical safety, performance, and gas detection requirements are met. The detector is engineered for long-term performance with a robust, low-maintenance design ideal for demanding applications, including data centers, BESS facilities, and industrial hydrogen monitoring.

The HD-6 provides reliable, continuous hydrogen monitoring and early warning to help protect personnel, equipment, and the community. The detector features two configurable alarm levels with relay activation, allowing facilities to automate responses such as activating fans, valves, louvers, horns, and strobes. Standard features also include local audible alarms, bright visual indicators, and analog communication for seamless integration with Building Management Systems (BMS).

The Macurco HD-6 is an iteration and upgrade of the company's current flagship hydrogen detector, the GD-6. The new HD-6 includes many significant upgrades, such as minimal maintenance requirements, resistance to silicone poisoning, additional alarm setpoints, and a generous 10-year lifespan. Macurco developed the HD-6 to address ongoing customer requests for a hydrogen detector that is more robust, more reliable, and lasts longer in the field.

The HD-6 is UL Listed to UL 2075 and CAN/ULC 588 and is CE marked. These listings and the CE marking reflect rigorous electrical safety, performance, and gas detection requirements, demonstrating the detector's electrical integrity, accurate response to hydrogen gas, and reliable operation. The CE marking supports the HD-6's availability in the European market. The detector is engineered for long-term performance with a robust, low-maintenance design ideal for demanding applications, including data centers, BESS facilities, and industrial hydrogen monitoring.

The Macurco HD-6 is the first UL 2075-listed hydrogen detector for continuous monitoring. Customers can be confident in relying on the HD-6 to monitor their data centers, BESS facilities, or any application where hydrogen detection is imperative. Macurco has 50 years of proven gas detection experience in residential, commercial, and industrial gas monitoring. Macurco gas detection systems (HVAC, Fire & Security, AimSafety, and TracXP) are widely recognized by distributors and users for their high performance and consistent reliability.
