2.2 Description

The model GPD-1000 gas presence detector is used for the detection of the smallest
concentrations of SF₆ and alternative gas and is thus ideally suited for the location of leaks.
During operation, the approximate size of the leaks can be quantified via an audio signal.
Leak detection with this unit is through a flexible gooseneck, which in turn has a gas
inlet on the front. An interchangeable sensor tip ensures the availability of the instrument
at all times. The pump in the console case provides continuous flow of the sucked-in
gas mixture through the sensor of the instrument. The gas presence detector has been
developed in order to warn personnel of the increased presence of SF₆ or alternative
gas concentrations and to locate larger leakages in internal and open-air applications.
Through the visible and audible alarms, it can prevent the operator from being exposed
to impermissibly high concentrations of SF₆ and alternative gas in the atmosphere.
