Inficon 718-202-G1 GAS-mate Combustible Gas Detector measurement tool

SKU CH-JXKV-ETF1J MPN 718-202-G1

Detects combustible gases including propane and hydrogen sulfide with adjustable sensitivity and a 15 in probe

  • Product typeElectronic
  • Detects combustible leaks at 1 ppm gasoline sensitivity
  • Adjustable sensitivity lets you pinpoint small or large leaks
  • Audible alarm plus multiple LEDs give instant leak alerts
  • 15 in probe reaches tight spaces around fittings
  • Operates from -20 °F to 122 °F for year-round use

What this detector does

The Inficon 718-202-G1 GAS-mate detects combustible gases including ammonia, ethanol, hydrogen sulfide and propane. It is built for technicians who need a portable electronic sniffer for leak surveys and safety checks. Adjustable sensitivity lets the user tune the response to the environment. The tool ships new with a hard carrying case.

Installation and common issues

Power the unit with 1.5 V batteries, then allow the sensor to warm up before scanning. The 15 in probe reaches into tight fittings and around equipment. False alarms often come from high background vapour or a dirty sensor tip; clean the probe and re-zero in fresh air. The detector operates from -20 Degrees F to 122 Degrees F, so extreme cold or heat can shift the baseline.

Behaviour during extended use

During long surveys the audible alarm and multiple LEDs give continuous indication without relying on a display. The 1 ppm gasoline and 5 ppm methane detection thresholds remain stable as long as the sensor stays within the rated temperature window. Battery voltage drops gradually; carry spares for jobs that run past a single shift. The three-year manufacturer warranty covers the electronics, not consumable sensor elements.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the GAS-mate 718-202-G1 is detecting gas correctly after turning it on?

Power on the unit, adjust the sensitivity dial, then introduce a known combustible gas such as propane near the 15 in probe; the multiple LEDs should illuminate progressively and the audible alarm should sound when the concentration reaches the detection threshold.

What comes with the 718-202-G1 and what must I supply myself?

The package includes the detector, a hard carrying case and a calibration certificate; you must provide the 1.5 V batteries required for operation.

Which detection range should I rely on for gasoline versus methane with this model?

The 718-202-G1 detects gasoline from 1 ppm and methane from 5 ppm, so choose the gasoline range for the lowest detectable leak level and the methane range when surveying natural-gas lines.
