What is the difference between a methane sensor and a methane detector? I'd consider them both to be doing the same thing.
The methane sensor would be AE for analytical element, with CH4 or METHANE outside the bubble, unless it transmits a standard signal, in which case it'd be AT (with the same outside bubble annotation).
