• Reliable thermal conductivity leak detector—
every analyst should have one.
• Compact, portable, ergonomic design—easy to
hold and operate.
• Sensitive—detects helium or hydrogen at 1x10
-4
cc/sec*.
• Fast results—responds to leaks in less than 2
seconds, zeros with the touch of a button.
• Built-in rechargeable battery—charging adaptor
included.
Caution: The Restek Electronic Leak Detector is NOT designed for determining leaks of combustible gases. A combustible gas
detector should be used for determining combustible gas leaks in possibly hazardous conditions.
*Sensitivity measured using helium.
In continuing our efforts to provide chromatographers with the best available columns, tools, and acces-
sories, we have enhanced our popular Restek Electronic Leak Detector. New features include internal bat-
tery charge capability, a low-battery indicator, a battery charge indicator light, yellow lights to signal a
nitrogen leak, a repositioned on/off switch, to eliminate accidentally powering on the unit, and a new
probe tip design that prevents debris from entering the unit. The new leak detector retains the microchip
technology that enables high sensitivity in a compact unit, the autozero feature that allows instantaneous
zeroing with the touch of a button, and the ergonomic design that puts all controls at your fingertips, for
maximum ease of use.
The new Restek Electronic Leak Detector is the affordable solution for detecting helium, hydrogen, or
nitrogen leaks in your GC system. Leaks can cause detector noise and baseline instability, waste carrier gas,
and shorten column lifetimes. The leak detector responds in less than 2 seconds to leaks of gases with ther-
mal conductivities different from air, indicating leaks with both an audible alarm and an LED readout.
The leak detector detects minute gas leaks that can go undetected by liquid leak detectors. And, remem-
ber—you should never use liquid leak detectors on a capillary system, because liquids drawn into the sys-
tem through the leaks will contaminate the system.

Leak Detector Accessory Kit
Leak Detector is easily
accessed when stored in
the mounting bracket.
The kit includes an adaptor fitting that fits over the probe assembly to detect very small leaks in hard-to-
reach locations, and a mounting bracket that can be affixed to the wall or GC.
