GOW-MAC^® Miniature Leak Detector

This highly sensitive leak detector is excellent at finding leaks quickly, without the risk of contaminating the instrument associated with liquid leak detectors. Lightweight and compact, it includes a hand-held sniffer wand that allows the location of leaks to be pinpointed. This unit operates on the same principle as a thermal conductivity detector, it responds to any gas that has a thermal conductivity value different from that of air. It is easy to use, and can be operated with little or no training:

• Turn the unit on
• Zero out background air
• Probe for leaks

This unit can be powered through an electrical cord, or by charging an on-board battery. The power cord, battery, and charger are all included.

Note: Do not use with combustible gases.

Specifications:

• Detector: thermal conductivity cell with thermistors
