Specifiche Tecniche• Contenuto della confezione:-N° 1 rilevatore perdite di gas AEG-1223.-N° 2 batterie AAA.-Manuale d’uso.• Caratteristiche Principali:Rilevatore tascabile di perdite di gas, con avviso sonoro e visivo su display.• Materiali e Design:Interamente in materiale plastico di qualità, ben rifinito.Ha la forma di un pennarello grosso. Un’estremità ospita il sensore, mentre l’altra ha un tappo a vite che serve per chiudere l’alloggiamento delle 2 pile.Sulla parte frontale abbiamo un piccolo display e 3 tasti.Infine c’è anche una comoda clip per il fissare il dispositivo addosso.Esperienza d'Uso• Istruzioni:Presente un manuale d’uso multilingue anche in italiano, molto ben fatto.• Facilità d'uso e performance:Molto facile da utilizzare. Arriva con 2 pile AAA, che si inseriscono comodamente aprendo il tappo a vite. Si preme per 3 secondi il tasto ON/OFF, si attende circa 15-20 secondi che il sensore si riscaldi e appena suona il beep, siamo pronti per i rilevamenti.Col secondo tasto possiamo settare su due livelli di sensibilità H e L, rispettivamente per una maggiore e minore sensibilità. Il terzo tasto accende la luce del display.A questo punto basta avvicinare lo strumento alla zona da verificare e attendere che il rilevamento abbia corso. Se non viene rilevato niente, il display resta verde e il cursore nella posizione di base con una freccia. Negli altri casi, osserveremo che alla prima freccia se ne aggiungeranno altre, fino a quando il display sarà rosso e ci sarà un avviso sonoro.Ho testato sia col gas metano della cucina che con un accendino. Dopo alcuni secondi, durante i quali tenevo il sensore in prossimità della fonte di gas, avveniva correttamente il rilevamento della fuga e quindi il doppio avviso.Trovo questo strumento molto ben fatto e funzionale. Penso dovrebbe essere un must per i professionisti. Per un uso domestico, nonostante l’utilizzo sia piuttosto saltuario, lo vedrei come un piccolo investimento nella sicurezza.Lo troverei molto utile per un controllo periodico degli attacchi dei tubi del gas, della caldaia e dei piani cottura e ogni volta che avviene il cambio del tubo del metano. Ho fatto anche una verifica all’impianto GPL della mia auto.Vantaggi e Svantaggi• Pro:-Compatto e facile da portare addosso.-Ottima qualità dei materiali e delle finiture.-Riscaldamento veloce.-Rilevamento del gas veloce.-Display con cursore livello rilevamento e doppio colore verde e rosso.-Avviso sonoro.-Batterie incluse.• Contro:-Nessuno.Conclusione• Valutazione Finale:Ottimo rilevatore di fughe di gas, compatto ed efficiente, con un rapporto qualità prezzo non da poco.

This gas leak detector pen includes 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries and a user's manual. At the bottom of the pen you will find a cap. Unscrew and insert the 2 batteries with positive + side facing down, then screw the cap securely.This device is easy to operate, it features a power button, a gear button and a bulb button. To turn ON simply long press the power button and wait for the warmup period. You will see the display and arrows going up and repeating in a loop. Once the warm period is reached, the device will beep. By default, sensitivity threshold is set to high, which is shown with the "H" on the display. To switch between high and low sensitivity, just press the gear button (second button). At the high setting it will be sensitive to 50-500 PPM. At the low setting it will be sensitive to 500-1000 PPM. You can turn ON/OFF the built-in LED light by pressing the bulb button (third button). The LED is not too strong but enough when used at a very close range.According to the listing, this detects combustible gasses. It should detect propane, natural gas, methane, gasoline and more. As the amount of PPM increases, the bars indicator on the display will rise accordingly. It would have been nice to include an actual PPM meter as you cannot know the exact amount. Normally up to 50 PPM is a safe range. A safe range is indicated by a solid green display, while a red indicator indicates levels at which symptoms or harmful effects can occur. If the display is solid yellow it indicates caution, some side effects are possible. Outside the safe range the pen will emit an audible beep and will update in real time as the levels drop. Once back in the safe range the beeping stops. After a period of inactivity, the pen shuts off on its own. You can turn it OFF at any time by long pressing the power button.I have run a few tests using different sources ranging from gasoline, alcohol and propane just to see that this detector is doing something and working. It is worth noting that you need enough concentration of gas for it to start detecting something. Simply opening up a canister of gasoline filling the room with a smell was not enough to detect anything, as this device is sensitive to 50 PPM at minimum in the high sensitivity mode, so in theory there may be leaks of gas, but outside those ranges, it will not detect anything. I noticed you have to get extremely close to the source you are testing, literally only millimeters away and wait a few seconds for it to detect something. It might take a few seconds or longer. It will react much faster if the concentration is high.On all tests I have made it managed to detect the gas even though it took a few seconds to show. So if the device is not detecting anything and you know there is presence of gas, it simply means you are not holding the pen close enough or the concentration is not high enough, but the pen definitely works. It is good enough to detect concentrations high enough to be toxic, but fortunately nobody will stand that close to a leaking source for it to be of concern as gas dissipates in the air and the concentration is diluted. However, if this device is able to properly detect at a very close range, it means that in theory it should be able to detect a high concentration in ambient air, long before it reaches a level that is considered a risk for explosions.From the price point this is a good value and when used properly it can help avoid big problems ahead of time. Without running the tests, I was discouraged at first because it was not detecting anything but I then figured out you need to move the pen very close to the source, and it did work. It's not as simple as turning the gas valve on and pointing the pen. The key is concentration level in the ambient air around the sensor. Given the results of my tests I am convinced that this is a useful product for most consumer applications.

Im Zuge des Vine Programms erhielt ich kostenlos zum Zwecke des Testens diesen Gastester.Ich bin Camper und immer wieder in Kontakt mit Gasflaschen und Anschlüssen und habe stets ein ungutes Gefühl beim lässigen Umgang damit. Auch wenn man das Gas mit dem Geruch sehr gut wahrnehmen kann, sind es eben diese feinen Undichtigkeiten, die man nicht haben möchte und auch hier bei entsprechender Konzentration hochgefährlich sein können.Hier ist dieser Tester in Stiftform ein tolles Hilfsmittel. Sehr sensibel erschnüffelt der Tester bereits feinste Undichtigkeiten. Zum Test habe ich ein Feuerzeug auf kleinste Flamme eingestellt und anschließend ohne Flamme das Gerät vorn an der Düse bei geöffnetem Ventil platziert. Bereits kurz nach dem Start ertönte das Alarmsignal und das Display zeigte einen hohen Ausschlag. Klasse. Die Sensibilität lässt sich in zwei Stufen einstellen.Der Tester liegt jetzt griffbereit vorn im Gaskasten und bei jedem Anschließen einer Flasche wird ab jetzt getestet, ob die Verbindung dicht ist.Der Preis ist attraktiv und von daher sollte er in keinem Wohnwagen oder Wohnmobil fehlen. Daher klare Kaufempfehlung!

The AEG-1223 Gas Leak Detector came in a nice box, that contained the leak detector and two name brand batteries. I kidded my wife before it arrived that I was going to use it on her when we watched television each night. She didn’t laugh, but my buddies did later.I took the unit out of its packaging and put the batteries in. I was surprised how hot the batteries get when you use the detector.I purchased this for a specific reason. A few months ago I replace the ignitor on our gas stove. Subsequently, every time we use the oven I think I smell gas. My wife contends she doesn’t smell anything. I got this to determine once and for all which of us is right.I set the oven to 200 degrees and waited for it to reach that temperature. Then I opened the door and turned on the gas leak detector and put my hand in the oven. I absolutely hate it when my wife is right, but according to the detector, there’s no gas leaking in our stove. Darn! Well, at least I can go to sleep at night and stop worrying about the house blowing up.The gas leak detector comes with a clip so you can hang it from your belt, or inside a pocket. It has an led light, and makes an audible sound when turned on or off, or if it detects gas. It’s a handy little device that seems to do its job. Excellent value.
