Purpose & Audience

The TeKit GM8800A is a handheld combustible gas leak detector calibrated to 50 ppm sensitivity. It targets technicians and homeowners who need to pinpoint methane, propane, butane or alcohol leaks in kitchens, factories or similar indoor environments.

Sustained Operation Behaviour

After a 60 second warm-up the semiconductor sensor delivers a 2 second response time and can run continuously for 18 hours on three LR14 1.5 V batteries. A low-battery indicator alerts the user before the supply drops below usable voltage during long shifts.

Build & Connectors

The gray housing measures 220 by 75 by 45 mm and includes a flexible 16 in sensor neck for reaching tight fittings. A built-in headphone jack allows audible alarms to be monitored privately in noisy workplaces, while combined sound and light signals provide immediate local warning.
