Purpose

The

VARIOTEC 460 Tracergas

is a portable measuring device

for measuring the concentration of hydrogen in air or nitrogen.
The device is especially suitable for:

●

Leak detection in pipes using hydrogen
Both gas and water pipes can be inspected. Water pipes must

not contain water at the time of inspection.

● Leak tests using the tracer gas method (e.g. in filling stations)

●

Measuring the hydrogen content in air or nitrogen

All tasks that can be performed with the device are assigned to

applications. For more detailed information please see Section 1.5

on page 5.

WARNING!

The

VARIOTEC 460 Tracergas

is not a gas warning in-

strument.

●

Do not use the device to warn against dangerous gas

concentrations.

Note:

These operating instructions describe the functions of firmware

version 1.XXX. The manufacturer reserves the right to make

changes.

All descriptions refer to the device as delivered (factory settings).
