Bosch TIF8900 Combustible Gas Detector

The 8900 tool is broad-band, battery operated, solid state electronic combustible gas detector.
The instrument provides a ‘geiger counter’ ticking signal which increases in frequency as the source of combustible gas leaks as low as 5 PPM. This unit includes a carrying case, owner’s manual, rechargeable batteries and recharger.

The unit is ideal for pinpointing known leaks, checking for leaks and verifying safety of potentially hazardous locations.

The 8900 is a general purpose combustible gas detector which may be used in a situation where a combustible gas, vapor or residue needs to be found.

Some applications are:
- Gas lines and pipes
- Fuel in marine bilges
- Exhaust and fuel leaks
- Heat exchanger leaks
- Liquid or gas fired heating systems
- Propane filling stations
- Check manholes for safety
- Detect arson residue
- Indoor air quality (IAQ) tests

Note: Although the unit will respond to high levels of Carbon Monoxide (above 2000 ppm), it should not be used to pinpoint a leak as described in the operating instructions.

ATTENTION: Batteries must be charged for 24 hours before initial use. If this is not done, the unit will not function properly.
