CAUTION The LeakSeeka-1 LS-1 instrument is factory calibrated for methane in air. The alarm will be set off when the gas concentration in the air approaches the “ALARM” set point. The “ALARM” set point is adjustable by the user for any gas concentration within the range of 0% to 40% of the lower explosive limit (LEL).

A partial list of these gases is: Acetone Ammonia Carbon Monoxide Alcohol Butane Halon Petrol Hydrogen Sulphide Industrial Solvents Lacquer Thinners Propane Refrigerants Natural Gas...
If the last red light is illuminated turn the ‘LEVEL ADJUST’ so that the lights start to go out. This resets the LS1 for the higher concentration and allows stronger leaks to be detected. Again move the sensor head until stronger concentrations of gas are found.
17. Remove the sensor from the gas for 1 minute the re-insert to verify the adjustment. If the unit cannot be calibrated using this procedure, it should be returned to Kane International or an authorised distributor for repair. Page 7...
HINTS AND TIPS 18. The earphone can be plugged into the unit if there is high background noise or the operator does not want to disturb other people. Inserting the earphone disables the speaker. 19. If the lights do not light or go out and the audio does not work, this is an indication that the batteries need replacing.
SPECIFICATIONS (NOTE: MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE) Power Supply Four AA-sized Alkaline Batteries Sensitivity <50 ppm methane Sensor Solid-State Level Indicator Six LEDs moving from green at low concentration through yellow to red. Level is adjustable and hence does not give concentration reading. Alarm Visual and audio at approximately 10% of L.E.L.
BATTERIES Battery Replacement If the ‘READY’ light fails to light or flashes the batteries need replacing. Remove the battery cover on the back of the instrument by pressing in the catch.
