Forming Gas Leakage Detector
ENG
Introduction
Please thoroughly read the following information before starting the measurements. Use the
device only in the following described way, since misuse will lead to loss of warranty claims.
Always keep the leakage detector dry and clean. The device is subject to the general standards.
Features
This electronic leakage detector is the perfect tool to maintain and control leakages on systems,
which are filled e.g. with gasoline, propane or natural gases. It is equipped with the following
features:
- Microprocessor control with digital signal processor
- Multi-color display
- Adjustable sensitivity
- Notification at low battery
- Heated-up semiconductor gas probe
- Detection of lots of combustible gases
- About 40cm long flexible probe
- Incl. carrying box
- Incl. test agent to control the probe
- Working temperature from 0 to 40°C and humidity of 80% rH
- Storing temperature from -10 to 60°C and humidity of 70% rH

Fields of application:

• Detects leakages on automobile tank systems.
• Detects leakages on liquid gas systems and gas heating systems.
• Safety test on propane filling stations.
• Detects remnants of combustible gases in a catalyzer.
• Detects remnants of combustible solvents.
• Usable for broken heat exchangers, e.g. evaporators of air-conditioning systems in relation
with forming gas 95/5
Important note:
This device is not explosion-proof. Please imperatively observe the corresponding directives.
Do not work with the device, if there are combustible gases in near proximity, such as gasoline
vapor, natural gases, propane and others existing in concentrations, for which it is prescribed to
use explosion-proof devices.
Always switch on the device in rooms or areas where no contaminated air exists to attain exact
measurements.
