Product Description

Battery Powered Gas Leak Detector

FIND ANY GAS LEAKS AT HOME OR PROFESSIONALLY

Pinpoint the location of any natural gas, propane, LP, fuel, or other combustible gas leaks by running sensor probe along a gas pipe, fuel line, or fittings near any gas smells. Locate fuel leaks from your lawnmower or car. Even find the source of malodorous sewer gas or other combustible gas leaks with this gas leak detector.

Gas leak is found when alarm sounds and LEDs light up. Don't pay a technician hundreds in diagnostic and other fees when you can find a gas leak anytime with this propane & natural gas leak detector.

Gas Detector - How to Use

HOW TO QUICKLY DETECT GAS LEAKS?

  • To detect leaks while minimizing false alarms, turn the sensitivity dial upward toward (+) until the device begins to alarm. Turn sensitivity dial downward (-) slightly until alarm stops and 1st LED just turns off. Now, any small increase of gas level (as from a leak!) will cause the alarm to sound.
  • Calibrating sensitivity level in the same room as the gas leak will help improve device accuracy by filtering out any background gas. Calibrating outdoors may lead to device sounding when entering gas-filled room before actual leak is found.
  • If alarm sounds prematurely before a leak is found, sensitivity needs to be decreased to prevent false alarms.
  • Allow device to warm up sensor for 10 seconds until yellow “Warm Up” light turns off.

Unit works well and has an all-important sensitivity adjustment
5 Stars
Unit works well and has an all-important sensitivity adjustment
After multiple failures of various detectors installed in my camper, I opted for this portable device with a much needed sensitivity control. Although this is a battery operated portable device, I installed a 5-volt USB power supply where my previous detectors were installed and added a USB power cord to the unit. I adhered the unit to my camper wall with a velcro strip. Now I have the safety monitoring needed for the camper, and if I need to use the unit elsewhere, I simply detach it and install (3) AAA batteries and it's ready to go. The previous sensors were far too sensitive, resulting in annoying false alarms and they had high failure rates. I couldn't even put on after-shave lotion without setting them off -- ridiculous and very annoying! The sensitivity control on this Y201 is terrific, allowing you to stop the false alarms. ANY detector should be tested weekly, but instead of a test button, why not use the real thing -- I test the unit once a week with a BIC lighter. Also, the camper manufacturer installs the detectors at the floor level, where they can pick up dirt and dust, setting off the unit and possibly even clogging the sensor or eventually disabling it. LP gas is heavier than air and will stay by the floor, but there is no real reason to put the sensor that low to the floor. With the Y201, you can point the sensor down, where it will not have the tendency to pick up dirt or dust, and it will be at a more desirable level from the floor, about 5 or 6 inches. Also, because LP gas is detected by odor, the only time you really need a detector is when you are sleeping! Please note that this unit has an audible feedback feature that indicates proper functioning -- it makes a ticking sound. If you are a light sleeper, the ticking sound may bother you, so keep that in mind. I got used to the sound and it does not bother me at all, and I am a light sleeper. It's like a clock with a second hand, although it is slightly faster than that. Anytime the detector is not needed, it can simply be switched off, and this will also prolong the life of the unit. If you are forgetful and cannot remember to make sure the unit is on when needed, then this may not be for you. If you have small children (or cats) around that could possibly mess with the controls, then this may not be for you. As for me, I am very pleased with the unit and happy that such a device was available. I have been using it for a couple of months now, and I will revise this review accordingly if problems develop. The company now offers a lifetime warranty for the unit, which is amazing since all LP sensors have a limited lifetime, similar to an incandescent light bulb.
