Techamor Portable Gas Leak Detector/Sniffer - Y201
1. Where to use: Locate gas leak point at home & VR
The Y201 portable sniffer is an easy-to-use device that provides sound and visual alarm in presence of methane, propane, such as LPG, fuel and natural gas.
It’s mainly used to find and locate exact gas leak point along gas pipeline, around fittings or connectors at home & VR, and other similar applications. Helps to save hundreds of diagnostic fees from technician or plumber, and makes it's possible to debug gas leakage anytime by DIY.
For 24h gas monitor and detection, refer to Y301 and Y302.
- Package Contains:
- 1*Gas Leak Detector
- 1*User Manual
- 1*Product Card
- 3*AAA Batteries
2. How to use: most important steps/tips - Sensitivity Adjustment
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
2.1 Warm up process: around 10~30sThe speaker will always have “di didi…” until we turn off device, except one moment in step 2.2. At warm up period, ticking noise frequency is slow: around 2~3 times/s. The knob is used to adjust sensitivity of detector after finish 10s~30s warm up process, during the process, no matter how to adjust the knob, the device won't have any reactions. |
2.2 Rotate the knob to adjust sensitivityIf the alarm sounds prematurely and LED lights are on after warm up, need to decrease sensitivity to prevent false alarm (dial downward "-", shown as red arrow) . Rotate the knob to adjust sensitivity until the first bottom LED turn off or at the threshold of lighting up, and the moment that ticking sound stops. This is the best status. But if it's inconvenient to get the best status, we can just make the first bottom LED be on and have slow ticking "di di...." sound. Because once encounter leakage, all the rest 4~5 LED will be triggered on together at just one moment. |
2.3 Ready to sniff or trace leakageMove the probe along pipeline or around the suspected leakage points, such as fittings, connectors and switches, once encounter gas leakage, all 5~6 LED lights will be triggered immediately and the low frequency (2~3 times/s) ticking will change into piercing sounds (frequency 6~7 times/s, too fast and human ears cannot distinguish one time by one time) . |

4. Frequently asked questions and concerns:
4.1 Why always has ticking sound?
The design of ticking sound has two purposes: 1) Indicates the device is working.For some cases, we need to extend the probe to the area that we can't see LED lights, customers could judge thru the sound changes. The green power LED light is also used to indicate the device is working. 2) Represent different levels of gas leakage. Low frequency (around 2~3 times/s) means warm-up period or no leakage, if changed into high frequency (around 6~7 times/s) during detection process, means encounter leakage issue.
Notes: above is based on we set sensitivity well, because if we rotate the knob at anti-clockside too much, even there don’t have any leakage, all the 6 LED will be triggered on and sound will become piecing high frequency.
4.2 Is it normal or safe if get 1 red bar when move to high moisture room, around connectors or simply blow on probe?
Don't worry, it's normal, the large moisture change and CO affect the sensor performance, and may lead to false alarm by 1~2 LED red bars, but only last for 1~3s (very short time) if we move probe away. If we encounter leakage along the pipeline or connectors, all 5~6 LED bars will be triggered on at one moment, light and piercing sound alarm will last at least for 6~8s.
4.3 what's best distance between probe and pipeline/ranges/connectors.... during check process?
Recommend 1~10cm, if too far, concentration will become smaller as distance increase from leak point, and maybe not enough find and locate tiny leakage.
4.4 How about bubble method to check leakage compared with Y201?
Bubble is very good way and can be used to check all kinds of gas leakage while Y201 is mainly used for combustible gas. But for very tiny leakage and very strong leakage, bubble method maybe not good enough: 1) too tiny leak can't blow up bubble, too strong will blow the liquid away and can't have bubble, 2) some areas we can't extend to apply bubble liquid, 3) need good luck and skills to control the bubble liquid concentration if DIY bubble liquid, 4) in some case, liquid contact may lead to equipment or device damage.
The best way is: use both methods for double confirm if allowed, since bubble is more visible.

Works for me
I was a bit skeptical at first as name brand products for gas testers are $200. Figured I'd give it a try. Initially worried as the packaging was clearly broken and stapled closed (still not sure why it's like this). The unit I got initially did not work at all, kept alarming no matter what even at the lowest setting.) I contacted support and they helped fix the problem quickly. The new one works great. I tested it by putting it near my stove after I turned it off and it alarmed loudly!

Model: Y201Verified Purchase
I dealt with a slow propane leak on my RV that was quite challenging to find. I tried using my nose (rotten eggs smell) and soapy water, but to no avail. The leak was small, resulting in a gradual lowering of the gas over long period of time.
I was on the verge of seeking an RV dealer's help, but instead, I decided to give the Y201 gas detector a try. The device is well-rated, and the price was affordable. Even if the Y201 is never used again, it will pay for itself with that one job.
After reading the instructions, I started looking for a leak under the RV very early in the morning to ensure wind wouldn't affect the reading. I rapidly found the leak by following the gas line. The rubber line showed a big crack, but obviously, only a tiny hole was letting the gas out. I swapped the line, and now I'm trouble-free.
I feel like I've acquired new skills and am more confident in fixing gas-related issues. I'm very satisfied with my new acquisition and will carry it in my RV moving forward.
