Tracer Electronics LLC offers a complete line of professional gas detection and leak detection instruments, including market-leading full-featured multi-gas detectors, laser gas detectors, compact handheld devices, vehicle-mounted systems, and everything in between. We focus on the sales and support of Sewerin-made instruments.

  • Gas Detectors - Outdoors

    EX-TEC PM 580

    The EX-TEC PM 580 Gas detector offers an all-in-one solution for personal protection, CGI gas warning, measuring, and structural leak detection using both built-in and external probes. The advantages of a Sewerin unit are its rugged design and reliable performance. Unlike many of its competitors, Sewerin's high industry standards ensure this instrument stays operational on the job rather than sitting on a shelf waiting for repairs.

    EX-TEC HS 680

    The EX-TEC HS 680 is ideal for detecting leaks in underground natural gas pipelines. Its multi-array sensor system includes infrared sensors to precisely locate leaks along the pipeline. This system prevents unnecessary and costly excavations. Its integrated ethane-C₂H₆ detector allows easy verification of whether the gas leaking is from natural gas production in the underground pipeline or simply from natural biogas, such as marsh or swamp gas. For accurate leak pinpointing, the optional oxygen-O₂ sensor can be used. The O₂ sensor shows the lowest O₂ level while also measuring the highest methane-CH₄ level. This "minimum" measurement, with its smaller diffusion area, combined with the maximum methane reading, makes it easier to locate complex leaks.

    VARIOTEC 480 EX

    VARIOTEC VT series detectors and their various options enable users to detect natural gas along pipelines and assist with leak pinpointing. The VARIOTEC 460 & 480 EX, when equipped with optional ethane-C₂H₆ analysis, can be used to confirm the leak source (distinguishing between natural gas, biogas, or marsh and swamp gases). The VARIOTEC series offers users cost-effective instruments for nearly any gas detection application.

    PORTAFID M3K

    The PORTAFID M3K is a portable flame ionization detector known for its reliability, high accuracy, and resistance to moisture interference. It is hydrocarbon specific. An economical back harness is available to secure the 0.4-liter fuel gas bottle.

    VARIOTEC EGA

    The VARIOTEC EGA ethane gas analyzer is an ideal tool for determining whether a gas leak originates from a natural gas pipeline or from naturally occurring biogas, such as swamp or marsh gas. This information can prevent costly excavations. The VARIOTEC EGA can quickly and easily confirm the source of the gas leak.

    The analysis with the VARIOTEC EGA relies on the fact that natural gas from a pipeline contains ethane-C₂H₆, whereas biogas does not.

  • Gas Detectors - Indoors

    SNOOPER mini

    The SNOOPER mini is a small yet durable compact gas leak detector specifically designed to inspect accessible gas lines and fittings. Modern gas leak detectors offer significant advantages over traditional leak detection spray methods. The SNOOPER mini detects the presence of gas and displays the concentration at the leak. It is ideal for gas suppliers and contractors inspecting pipe installations and fittings both indoors and outdoors. Additionally, the SNOOPER mini is perfect for fleet mechanics who routinely inspect and repair vehicles equipped with LPG or natural gas.

    The SNOOPER mini is available with sensors to detect either methane (CH₄) or propane (C₃H₈).

  • Landfill and Biological Gas

    Multitec 560

    The Multitec 560 is a versatile gas warning and measuring device. When used as a gas warning tool, it reliably and automatically detects toxic and hazardous gases for workers. It also records and documents the composition of biological process gases. Infrared measuring technology ensures precise readings of methane and carbon dioxide. The Multitec 560 is perfect for inspecting work environments such as engine pits, silage tanks, shaft construction, and more. It detects explosive and toxic gases, guaranteeing worker safety at all times. Additionally, the Multitec 560 is ideal for monitoring biogas production in plants. It can record and analyze gas compositions for process optimization.

    The gas warning feature (ExTox) detects CH₄, CO₂, O₂, CO, and H₂S and can trigger alarms at pre-set levels. The Multitec 560 can also be used almost anywhere as a gas warning device.

  • Gas Detection - Laser

    SR-LD 200 / SR-LD 800

    The SR-LD 200 and SR-LD 800 from Sewerin are top-tier long-range remote laser CH4 gas detectors. They feature advanced capabilities and are built tough for extended use in the field.

    Premium Range:
    SR-LD 200 (120m or 393 ft)
    SR-LD 800 (200m or 656 ft)
