Running screen 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GasCheck G displays the 'Running screen' whenever the instrument is being used to detect leaking gas, the illustration 
below outlines the various information and icons. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Gas selection 

The GasCheck G2 and G3 display the gas being measured in the top left of the running screen. The GasCheck G2 will 
display the  gas selected at the factory only however the G3 model has a range of gases that can be selected via an 
internal gas table. 
 

Sensitivity 

GasCheck G has three (3) sensitivity levels, X100 (times one hundred) is most sensitive, X10 (times ten) is mid range and 

X1 (times one) is least sensitive. See  the sensitivity  of various gases on the  table under  ‘Functions (continues), Gas 
Selection’.

 

 

Battery status 

When the battery symbol is filled in the battery is full, when just an outline the battery is exhausted  
 

Backlight 

The backlight symbol shows the status of the backlight even in bright daylight.  
 

Gas measurement 

The GasCheck G2 and G3 measure the leak rate of gas leakage in which ever units are selected.  

 
Sound indication 

This symbol shows if the sounder is on or off, if the semi circle (on the right) of the symbol is present then the sound is 
switched on, if not the sounder is switched off. The beep that occurs with each key press can not be switched off. 
 

Bar graph 

The bar graph increases as gas is detected. This graph is not scaled and should be used for indication only. 
The GasCheck G1 has no measured units so relies on this bar graph to indicate leakage, when gas is detected and the 
bar graph has reached it's maximum level, a different sensitivity level can be selected to give a wider detection range.    
 

Peak hold 

When selected, peak hold displays the maximum measurement on the display. Press the ENTER key resets the reading 
but also logs the peak reading in memory.
