Handheld Sniffer Leak Detectors: SF6 Leak Detector Description The award-winning GasCheck SF6 is designed for the location, leak testing and measurement of SF6 gas in high voltage switchgear. This instrument has none of the problems of registration, storage and transportation associated with instruments based on a radioactive source ECD principle.

Features Smart sensor technology, detachable probe Display units cc/sec, gm/yr and ppm Touch screen with help menus Lightweight 3 button hand gun Data storage and printing Transit: Compact steel transit case for export shipping Up to 15 m (50 ft) "plug in" extensions available as options, enabling increased freedom for roaming with hand held probe. Flexible probes for leak searching in confined spaces. Benefits No radioactive detector No argon or other pressurised gases required No training required, switch ON and go Large leaks present no contamination problem 10 hours battery use before recharging High sensitivity Standby mode if unused for 5 mins (selectable) Applications CalCheck unit providing 5 x 10-6 cc/sec sulfur hexafluoride gas. Calibration takes 1 minute with alarm level set points and volume easily set on touch screen. The display then asks for the probe to be held in the Reference Leak and automatically calibrates. Glove boxes using a dilute sulfur hexafluoride trace gas, and checking externally for leaks. Leak integrity assurance to ultra low levels on equipment containing sulfur hexafluoride and (H)CFC's in medical, refrigeration and air conditioning units. Specifations and Ranges Detector Principle: Negative Ion Capture (NIC) operating in partial vacuum Usable Sensitivity: 1x10-7 cc/sec, 1 ppm, 0.2 gm/yr Response Time: <1 sec. Cleardown also <1 sec Power Supply: Self-seeking AC supply of 85-265 V Handgun: 563 g or 1.25 lb Console Dimensions: 340 mm x 350 mm x 170 mm (depth) or 13.5 in x 14 in x 7 in Console Weight: 10.4 kg or 23 lb Printer Interface: Standard 9 pin serial for printer or computer Cable Length: Standard 5 m, extension to 15 m Calibration: Using a Portable Reference Leak which is in turn calibrated to ISO 9000 using standards which are themselves calibrated by UKAS (NAMAS) or, NIST laboratories
