GENERAL INFORMATION
The TIF8900 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 or vapor is approached. It is excellent for pinpointing the location of combustible gas leaks as low as 5PPM. 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.
ATTENTION:
Batteries must be charged for 24 hours before initial use. If this is not done, the unit
will not function properly.
