With the selective hydrogen sensor, the gas detector can detect even the smallest leaks. When activated, the device automatically records the current hydrogen concentration in the environment and then evaluates only changes compared to the initial measurement.
If the measurement is unclear with all LED lights on, the current hydrogen concentration can be set as the baseline by pressing the reset (RESET) button, and then the leak can be detected more accurately. After taking a measurement, the detector can return to the previous sensitivity levels by pressing the reset (RESET) button.
The user initially selects the sensitivity level by pressing the corresponding button.
"H" corresponds to high sensitivity, "M" to medium, and "L" to low. The air content of hydrogen under normal conditions is 0.5 ppm. The meter detects a minimum concentration of 5 ppm, i.e., 0.0005 %.
The sensor is mounted on the head of a semi-rigid tube 40 centimeters long, so it can easily reach hard-to-access points. If the gas detector detects a leak, an alarm sounds and additional LED indicator lights turn on. The higher the recorded hydrogen concentration compared to the baseline, the more indicator lights turn on.

The device is powered by four batteries that provide twelve hours of normal use autonomy. After 10 minutes of inactivity, it turns off to save energy. The built-in detection sensor has a limited lifespan. Under normal usage conditions, it can be used for a period longer than one year. The proper operation of the sensor can be checked with the regular use of test gas. If the sensor is checked and found unreliable, it can be replaced with a new one.
