## Description

The Pocket Air Check gas leak detector is a portable, battery operated, solid-state instrument intended for use in applications requiring detection of combustible gas leaks. Handheld and highly sensitive, the Pocket Air Check makes finding gas leaks as easy as using a flashlight and at a fraction of what other portable detectors cost. The Pocket Air Check is a toolbox requirement for the HVAC technician, plumber, homeowner or anyone working with combustible gas installations, especially natural gas or propane. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit and insert 2 AA alkaline batteries. Refer to diagram inside battery compartment. Press and hold the green On/Off button. The power and Alarm lights and the audible alarm will turn on. The Alarm light and audible alarm will continue until the sensor warms up. You must continue to depress the On/Off button for the Air Check to detect gas. Releasing the On/Off switch will power down the unit. Plase the sensor approximately 1/2" from the suspected leak. When checking a gas pipe connection, slowly move the sensor tip of the Air Check around the trhreads of the pipe or fitting. Check valve connections and the front and back of the valve stem. Check along the length of pipes and tubes for leaks. When gas is detected the Air Check Alarm light will turn on and the audible alarm will sound.

Review: This device does not work! - The behavior of this device is erratic. It beeps for no good reason and it does not stop beeping even though I am standing outside. The start-up time various greatly also. On my first try (with fresh batteries), it took about 1 minute to warm up. The second time took a lot longer, perhaps 2 times. The third try an hour later took so long that used rubber band to hold down the button while I worked on something else. I think it was nearly a good 5-10 minutes before it warmed up. Frankly, I could not tell if this device worked or not. Perhaps I just received a defective device. In the end, it only wasted time and did not tell me anything useful.
Review: Excellent Device!! - I got this device after reading alot of reviews... I was a little worried & a lot hopeful. But I was pleasantly surprised when it passed my first test over my unlit stovetop. After that I used it to detect a leak I had suspected on a gas shutoff valve (a VERY small leak). This little device worked great!! But a few words of caution that really aren't in the description: First, the packaging Clearly States: "Do Not subject device to shock." I'm thinking this is what happened w/ the people who had problems. Second, you have to move the device VERY SLOWLY around the ENTIRE joint/area. The leak I eventually found I actually passed over twice b/c I was moving too fast. Lastly this will not last forever (another possibility for problem reviews). The packaging says its rated for something like 12-24 hours of use. I Do Not mean 1 day, obviously, but that many hours of 'On' time. I used about a half hour of my time. After that, I lined a 1 gal. ziploc bag w/ bubble wrap to prevent it from being knocked around... & before I use it again, i'll do the stovetop test again just to make sure. OVERALL EXCELLENT BUY, ESPECIALLY FOR UNDER $25!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Handy gadget, but you get what you pay for
*by J***Y on November 9, 2009*

This handheld gas detector does what it's supposed to do, which I suppose is the bottom line. There's not too much to complain about with a device that claims to detect gas leaks and does. For the extremely casual do-it-yourself handyman, this is a useful gadget to have on hand for those moments when you think you might smell gas in the utility room or the kitchen or the garage. For anything more than very casual use, however, this little toy is way too flimsy. When I first unpacked the detector, I was surprised at how light and cheap-feeling it was. It did not come with batteries, so I had to dig out my own AAAs. When I got the batteries installed, it device wouldn't turn on. Assuming the batteries were dead, I put in some new ones. Still nothing. It turned out that the springs that are supposed to make contact with the battery terminals were so flimsy they were being pushed aside by normal battery installation. With a little prodding and coaxing, I managed to get them into proper position, and then finally the unit turned on. Then I put the battery cover on, and it died. Even the slightest bump or nudge throws something out of alignment, apparently. I took the cover off again and poked and prodded some more, and it turned back on. So I ran my tests without touching the battery cover, and it did seem to work. I tested it on the stove burner without any flame, and it did register gas. Then I took it downstairs to where my wife thought she had smelled gas near the furnace, and I did not get a reading anywhere. So I assume I'm fine and the detector is working, but it's constructed so cheaply, it's hard to know for sure. At the end of the day, it seems like it works, and that ought to be good enough for most home users. For this price, it's not worth griping too much about. But you definitely get what you pay for with this thing. Keep it away from the kids, and don't bump into anything while you're holding it, and it should be fine.
