What is it?

The SENSIT HXG-3 Advanced Combustible Gas Leak Detector is a professional-grade, intrinsically safe instrument designed to detect and monitor a wide range of combustible gases. It provides real-time readings in both %LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) and PPM (parts per million), ensuring accurate detection for safety-critical environments.

How is it used?

Power on the device, allow a brief warm-up for automatic zeroing, and begin scanning areas with the flexible gooseneck sensor. The adjustable tick-rate dial helps pinpoint leak sources quickly. Audible and visual alarms alert users to hazardous conditions instantly.

Who uses it?

This detector is trusted by professionals in HVAC service, gas utilities and transmission, fire departments, industrial maintenance, municipal water and sewer services, and propane marketing.

Maintenance information

Routine calibration is required for optimal performance. Calibration kits and traceable calibration certificates are available. The unit features infrared data downloading for calibration logs and readings. Replaceable long-life sensors and dust/water filters help maintain accuracy and durability.

What is it used with?

Compatible accessories include calibration gas kits, hard or soft carrying cases, wrist straps, replacement sensors, and calibration stations.

What material is it made from?

Constructed with durable, intrinsically safe housing designed to withstand industrial environments. The sensor is mounted on a flexible gooseneck for easy access to hard-to-reach areas.

Benefits

• Rapid Leak Detection: Quickly identifies the presence of combustible gases, helping firefighters assess and secure hazardous environments faster.
• Enhanced Safety: Audible and visual alarms alert crews to dangerous gas levels, reducing exposure risk during emergency response.
• Reliable Performance: Provides accurate readings in both %LEL and PPM, ensuring confidence in decision-making during critical situations.
