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.
2. How to use: most important steps/tips - Sensitivity Adjustment
2.1 Warm up process: around 10s
The 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 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 sensitivity
If 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 leakage
Move 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) .
3. Different Usage Pictures Collection from Lovely Customers
4. Frequently asked questions and concerns:
4.1 Could tell more related to use?
1) Easy to understand video will be good choice, refer to “How and where to use the Y201 gas leak detector” around pictures area at beginning . 2) Get service support, engineers on staff from factory online will help to answer any questions related to leakage if above video can't help to understand.
4.2 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.
4.3 Some batteries only use 10~15 minutes, then low battery indicator is on.
According to our experiment data at lab for different batteries brand, usually last from 15 minutes to 4 hours. Different brand batteries have very different quality. Indeed, the device is hungry for batteries. The sensor in the probe needs large power for micro burning process and we can feel a little warm if we use finger to hold the probe. Another reason maybe product itself, components (resistor, capacitor......) tolerance or damage on the PCB board may also lead to large power consumption, but the rate is very low.
Usually when we find customers from home inspection company, we will suggest purchasing rechargeable Li-batteries, because their technicians or plumbers use the device frequently and Li-batteries will help to save some batteries cost.
4.4 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.
4.5 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.
4.6 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.

Me: Do you smell that? It smells like gas. Husband: Nope, don’t smell it. Yeezou: [alarm trigger] Gas company: I don’t smell it, but my detector is picking it up Plumber: I sort of smell it
We removed an old drop ceiling, and a day or so later I was working on the ceiling near a coupling in our gas line and I smelled gas. It was actually more of a very faint funky smell, not like the typical pungent rotten egg smell you normally think of. No one else could really smell it....except for (and you’re not going to believe this) ....my cat. I was up on the step ladder and my cat was FREAKING OUT when we initially took the ceiling down. This cat is usually pretty calm, but she jumped up on the ladder under the leak in the gas line twice after I pulled the tile down and she was very upset. At first my husband and I thought this “attention-seeking behavior” was cute, and we were calling her the building inspector until I picked up on that funky smell the next time we came back to work this on the ceiling. By the time I finally picked up the smell, I’d already forgotten about my crazy cat’s odd behavior. I asked my husband if he thought it was gas, or just a weird odor in the insulation. He smelled nothing. I purchased this yeezou detector and I’m so glad I did. There was a leak in the coupling.
Bottom line, trust your pet, trust your nose and don’t mess with gas. If you think you smell gas, don’t do what I did and wait for this to ship (even if it is same day delivery by 9pm). Call your gas company and they will send a tech out.
Since this IS a product review I must say this detector worked great, and I think anyone that has gas appliances should have this BEFORE you sorta, kinda, think you might, maybe, but can’t be quite sure that you smell a leak.
If you’re on the fence about buying this ...don’t be. BUY IT! $30 is a small price to pay to help detect a leak before your house EXPLODES!

Our family home had what smelled like a small leak near our kitchen bathroom -- however, it was difficult discern the specific issue or location. My father suggested purchasing a natural gas detector and I'm glad we did. After looking at a few options, we landed on the Techamor (Yeezou) Y201 Portable.
The device arrived a few days later and I immediately opened, installed the batteries, and began scanning for the source of our issues. At first the meter seemed like a bust as nothing was detected. That was until I ran down to the basement searching the craw space under our bathroom. Instantly the meter signal jumped a few bars.
Once we detected the source I immediately called the gas company pointing out the exact issue. With his professional meter in hand, the rep confirmed my suspicions and helped close the valve. Since this time the pipe has been serviced. Thanks to the Techamor meter, crisis averted!

Recently I bought and installed a gas range. After having a little nagging feeling I decided to purchase the Techamor Y201 Portable Methane Propane Combustible Natural Gas Leak Sniffer Detector. After receiving it I inserted 3 AAA batteries (not included) and proceeded to check my gas hookup. And there it was... a very small gas leak. So small in fact that I couldn't smell the rotten eggs odor. I double-checked with a soapy solution and I could see a few very small bubbles forming.. The Techamor Y201 Portable Methane Propane Combustible Natural Gas Leak Sniffer Detector however is much easier to use, at least in this case where the valve and connection is not within easy reach. Tightening the connection didn't work. Now I'm waiting for a pro plumber to replaced the 36 year old flare fitting on the valve. I was unable to remove it. The strange part is that while playing with the Techamor Y201 Portable Methane Propane Combustible Natural Gas Leak Sniffer Detector I blew (exhaled) over the sensor and immediately it went full tilt. Geez... I thought I took good care of myself. Anyway... I am glad the Techamor Y201 Portable Methane Propane Combustible Natural Gas Leak Sniffer Detector saved the day. But at the same time I am embarrassed.

I bought this because I kept smelling gas coming out of my kitchen drawers next to my gas stove and near my gas dryer. No one else could smell it. This thing alerted to both places. The gas company came out and confirmed that there was a leak behind the drawers where the gas line goes into the wall. What's weird is the gas company's detector did not detect anything at first. We had to turn on the gas stove first to detect the leak. Also, their detector did not detect anything behind the dryer, so I just tightened the connection to the gas line myself. This gas detector appears to be very sensitive.
Received the detector and started testing my natural gas connections. I had replaced our gas range and my wife could smell gas but I could not as my sense of smell is not the greatest. After adjusting the Yeezou tester it located a very small leak in the flex line. I replaced it with a new one and now no gas smell and a Happy Wife. Great product and well made and easy to use. I have checked all my gas connection now and have a sense of safty now.
Bought this over the standard Home Depot gas leak detector because had so many great reviews for the same price. The device looks very nice, but actually has an adjustable sensitivity knob/dial which makes any leakage detection quite inaccurate. It kept giving me leakage alarms around joints/fittings making me nervous and uneasy. Had to carry out at least 3-4 other leakage detection options (all came negative) to make sure and finally determined the accuracy of this device is awful. Even blowing air with your mouth in the direction of the sensing probe (essentially checking your breath) will make it alarm. Pressure gauge test, bubbly water/soapy water test, home depot gas leak detector test all showed negative. Even fully submerged the “leaking joints” under water and no leak was observed.
