In addition to itx primary function of indicating ppm combustible vapor concentrations and toxicity levels, an ultrasensitive "search1' rsnga of from 1 to 100 ppm makes the TLV Sniffer especially useful for locating hard-to- find gas leaks* A hand-held probe attached to the instrument can be moved...

TLV Sniffer MOdelq The TLV Sniffer is available as a standard model 00 23-73 50, for use in areas known to be free of combustible gases and vapors, or as an intrinsically safs model 0023-7356, for use in hasardous areas designated Class I, Divisions 1 or 2 by the Rational Electrical Code.

A recorder (range: 0—100 mv; impedance: 10,000 ohms or greeter) may be connected to the TLV Sniffer for use if variations in combustible gee levels are to be recorded for study or legal data* Recording is more suitable for the PPM Z 100 end PPM Z 10 mode ranges* The ultrasensitive PPM Z 1 "search"...
