Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use a battery to power the device?

The product could theoretically be used with both a battery and a USB solar panel power supply, but there is a limit if only a battery is used. 4000 mAh/110 mA = 36 is the physical limit for a 4000 mAh battery, for example. 4 hours assuming the FULL 4000 mAh is available for discharge, which is not always the case because the 4000 mAh seen is rated by the battery manufacturer for phone charging, not alarm powering. As the battery discharges from 5V to 3V, it drops in voltage naturally. 6V. What can be done is to purchase a larger capacity battery, such as a 6600 mAh battery (or, if done safely, multiple batteries in a parallel circuit).

Is the alarm going to go off indefinitely until the problem is solved?

Yes, until the concentration of combustible gas is less than 5% of the lower explosive limit, the alarm will continue to sound until the concentration of combustible gas is less than 5% of the

Is it necessary to replace a gas detector on a regular basis? How about once every five years?

The operating range of a gas detector varies depending on the environment, but it is usually around 4-. 5 years. In two out of every three gas detectors, they fail. Due to the filament type sensor used, the lifespan of the sensor is 4 years. As a result, it's critical to test the device on a regular basis to ensure that it's working properly.

What is the most appropriate warranty? The word 'lifetime' can be seen on the product's photo. within the q Which of the following is true?

The yellow Y201 gas leak detector now has a lifetime warranty, but it used to only have a one-year warranty.

It did what it said it would
5/5

It was well worth the money. We were using a little more gas than usual, and I noticed it. Our gas bill was a little higher this year than it had been the previous year. That didn't make any sense to me. I didn't detect any gas leaks inside the house, but I thought I detected something on the front porch. I figured I'd give this gas detector a shot to see if it could detect anything. I replaced the batteries and took a thorough walk around the house (both inside and out). When I arrived on the front porch, the motion detector went off and all the lights turned on. I made a quick call to the gas company. They arrived, confirmed the results, and immediately turned off the gas line, which had ruptured beneath the concrete porch. One of the best purchases I've made is that small detector. It was well worth the money.

After reading numerous reviews and searching high and low, my skeptic engineer husband decided to give it a try
5/5

We didn't think we'd be able to find a working gas detector. We ordered it, and he put it to the test with his "own" methane gas supply. We now feel safe because the alarm went off right away.

It works flawlessly, confirming my suspicions
5/5

  I had to disconnect our water heater so I could put a drip pan underneath it (it's old but not leaking yet). I was concerned that I had agitated the gas piping, potentially causing a leak. I didn't get a whiff of anything. It was verified by this tool. The piping was easily repaired, and the repair was confirmed by a retest.

Amazon has duped you into buying yet another piece of absolutely cheap Chinese garbage
3/5

Garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage even when placed right next to a source of gasoline does not detect it! It appears to have been designed in 1975 and has a loud, obnoxious beeping interface (by "interface," I mean a series of small lights that are supposed to turn on and off as if part of a middle school science experiment in circuits). Actually, I believe that is discourteous to designers who worked prior to 1975. br>I'm sick of Amazon allowing garbage like this to exist in the marketplace. They don't bother to screen-shot anything. Let the consumer waste time and money figuring it out by throwing out garbage like this. When unethical sellers are discovered, they simply vanish and reappearance under a new account name - Then pay associates/contractors to buy a large quantity and write glowing reviews so they can cast a new net to attract more customers before repeating the cycle. br>br>Amazon, you've done a fantastic job. - Best wishes - You've taken over as the new E-mail address. bay.

AN EXCELLENT PURCHASE! My Family Has Been Rescued! GET THIS NOW
5/5

BE SAFE! IT WORKS! br>This is an excellent product! It discovered four small natural gas leaks in my boiler room that I was unaware of. Because I couldn't smell anything, I assumed it was inaccurate, so I used Windex to check where it indicated leaks. It Turned Out to Be Correct! There were four leaks in my system! Now that they've been repaired, it no longer detects anything, and neither does Windex! IT WORKS AMAZINGLY WHEN USED PROPERLY! Take a look at the video! May God continue to bless you! br>Mike Damron is a well-known actor who has appeared in a number of films.

When put to the test, it didn't work
3/5

In my laundry room, where I keep this detector, I thought I smelled gas. To see if the detector would detect anything, I moved it closer to the boiler and hot water heater. It felt nothing after a few minutes of warming up. After that, I decided to put it to the test to see if it works. I plugged it into the wall in the kitchen and waited for it to warm up. I then lit a gas stove and positioned the detector directly on top of it. Standing next to the burner, I could hear and smell gas, but the detector never detected it by reading or sounding an alarm. It's frightening to think I've been relying on it for my safety. br>br>If you buy it, I recommend that you test it right away to see if it works. Mine is not one of them.

I worked to find the source of our natural gas leak
5/5

Because of the positive reviews, I decided to purchase this item. Thankfully, it was successful in locating a natural gas leak in our master bedroom. About two years ago, when we first moved into our house, we were about 2. I drilled into the in-laws' in-laws' in-laws' in-laws' in-laws' in When mounting a TV on the wall, there is a gas line that needs to be run. The plumber was able to resolve the issue by installing a coupling that was compatible with both the 2 and the 3. 5 years. We started smelling natural gas about a month ago when we walked past the TV wall. It came from the light switches on the same wall, and I could smell it. br>br>I bought a gas leak detector from Home Depot, but it didn't turn on when I pressed it against the light switch. The tricky part was that we didn't always get the smell; sometimes it would take a week for us to notice it again. I then ordered this detector, which was immediately activated when I placed it near the wall's light switches. The coupling that had been used previously was leaking, so I immediately called the plumbing company who had done the original work. They tightened it until there was no longer a leak and the gas detector stopped beeping. This time, however, they had to make a permanent repair to the pipe in order to prevent this from happening again, which required cutting the drywall from floor to ceiling.
