1. Introduction 

Dear customer: 
We would like to thank you for your acquisition of the Gas-leak detector. 
You have acquired a product which is built to the latest and highest technological standards.  
This product fulfils the requirements of the established European and national guidelines. CE-conformity has 
been proven; the relevant declarations and documents are in the possession of the manufacturer. 

To preserve this condition and to ensure sale operation, the user must adhere to this operating manual! 

 

2.  Prescribed use  

This Gas-leak detector is a very sensitive, self-sufficient warning system. The device consists of a gas sensor, 
an acoustic signal generator, a visual status-display and a power supply.  
The device responds to the following types of gas: natural gas and propane. The device serves to recognize 
gas leaking from small liquefied-gas containers, such as camping-gas cartridges, gas lighters, gas soldering 
torches, etc. 
 
The device is not suitable for continuous operation, but only for short-time operation (note lifetime of battery). 
 
The device is to be considered as an aid only and must only be used for small gas containers, such as lighters, 
camping-gas containers etc.. If there is reason to believe that gas is leaking, especially in case of complex gas 
systems, such as heaters or ovens, you should not carry out the measurement yourself, but contact an expert. 
The device is not suitable for those types of measurements. Do not put yourself at risk. In case of leaking gas, 
leave everything else, especially the repair, to an expert who is familiar with the relevant dangers and 
regulations. 

 
The device is not designed for industrial use. 
 
Also note all other safety instructions contained in this operating manual.
