FIRST RESPONDER CG - USER HANDBOOK

Semiconductor Sensor (Flexi) Probe

This external (EXT) range diffusion probe (Part No. 42200) is 

designed to provide a faster speed of response in detecting 

small fitting leaks, by eliminating the delay time taken by 

the pump drawing the sample into the instrument analysing 

chamber.

Fig. C-2  Semiconductor Sensor (Flexi) Probe  

The probe sensor is located on the end of a flexible wand 

and hence is able to gain access behind gas fittings

The high speed of response and the sensitivity of the 

Semiconductor Sensor Probe also enables initial external 

leakage surveys to be performed in the vicinity of both 

domestic and industrial properties and pipelines, enabling 

distribution leaks to be quickly found.
