This is a combustible gas leak detector. It can detect natural gas, propane, gas, combustible gas leaks.
The REED Instruments R9300 is a handheld combustible gas leak detector designed for one-handed operation. It features a 16-inch gooseneck probe, a user-adjustable sensitivity wheel, and both audible and visual alarm indicators. The device detects a wide range of combustible gases, including methane, propane, and gasoline, using a heated semiconductor gas sensor.

The instrument detects a wide range of combustible gases including gasoline, propane, natural gas, fuel oil, and various solvents.
The instrument runs through a one-minute warm-up and self-zeroing sequence when first turned on, though specifications list the warm-up time as approximately 5 minutes.
If the READY light is off, the batteries are low and should be replaced immediately to ensure reliability.
Yes, the tick rate (sensitivity) can be controlled using a rotary wheel in the center of the instrument.
