Combustibles Sensor
& Sensor Cover
Audible Alarm
• Instrument Ready - Slow beep. The beep
rate is about once per second with no gas
detected.
• Combustible Gas Indication - Beeps at
a rate that increases along with the gas
concentration.
• Sensitivity - Produces an increasing
frequency tone when sensitivity changes
from low to high, and produces a decreasing
frequency tone when sensitivity changes
from high to low.
• Dead Batteries - High frequency tone, followed by the instrument turning itself OFF.
• Sensor Error - Rapidly changing high and
low frequency tones.
Visual Alarm LED
• Power ON - Rapidly ashes green during warm-
up (approximately 60 seconds).
• Power OFF - Glows red just before power OFF.
• Instrument Ready - Slowly ashes green. The
ash rate is about once per second with no gas
detected.
• Combustible Gas Indication - Flashes green at
a rate that increases with the gas concentration.
• Sensitivity Change - Color changes from red to
green.
• Low Battery - Flashes orange instead of green
when checking for gas leaks. Typically 1 hour
of operation left after LED changes to orange.
Change batteries as soon as convenient.
• Dead Batteries - Glows red, followed by the
instrument turning itself OFF.
• Sensor Error - Flashes alternating green and red.
One Button Control
• Press once for half second to turn instrument ON.
• Press and hold for 2 seconds to turn instrument OFF.
• Double press to toggle sensitivity between high and low.

Features
• Compact Gas Leak Detector - The Leakator Jr. detects and pinpoints
combustible gas leaks in commercial, residential, and industrial applications,
including surveying gas pipelines
• Wide Variety of Combustibles Detected - Acetone, Acetylene, Benzene,
Butane, Ethanol, Ethylene Oxide, Gasoline, Hexane, Hydrogen, Industrial Solvents,
Iso-Butane, Methane, Methanol, Paint Thinners, Propane, Natural Gas, and
Naptha.
• Compact and Ergonomic Design - Simple one button control allows the
user to hold and operate the instrument in one hand. The exible probe with sensor
located at the tip allows leaks to be found in tight spaces.
• Leak Indication - The relative concentration of the combustible gas present is
indicated by the frequency of the audible and visual alarms.
• Automatic Calibration - The instrument automatically calibrates itself during
warm up when turned ON in fresh air.
• Selectable Sensitivity - High and low sensitivity mode selectable by a double
press of the ON/OFF button. Pinpoints concentrations as small as 20 ppm in the
high-sensitivity mode.
• Power - Four disposable ‘AA’ alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 14 hours of
operation. A low battery indicator warns the user when the batteries need replaced.
The instrument will also automatically turn itself OFF after a period of non-use to
preserve battery life.
• UL 913 Approved - Intrinsically safe for Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, and D.
• Sensor Error Indicator
• Low Power Metal Oxide Sensor
• Microprocessor Controlled Circuitry
