SF₆ Leak Detector | Portable Leak Detection for GIS & Switchgear

The HUNTER SF₆ Leak Detector is a professional instrument designed for fast, accurate detection of SF₆ (sulfur hexafluoride) leaks in medium- and high-voltage electrical equipment. Using advanced NDIR infrared sensor technology, it quickly locates even very small leaks while supporting regulatory compliance and emissions reduction.

Ideal for:

  • Utility companies and power grid operators
  • GIS & GIL systems
  • High-voltage switchgear
  • Service and maintenance teams
  • Environmental and safety professionals

Key Features

  • High-sensitivity NDIR infrared SF₆ sensor
  • Detects leaks as low as 1.5 ppm (3 g/year SF₆)
  • Measuring range: 0–1,000 ppm
  • Integrated pump (>40 L/h)
  • Flexible probes for hard-to-reach locations
  • 240 × 160 touchscreen LCD display
  • Over 10 hours battery life
  • Stores 2,000,000+ measurements
  • Digital reporting with Esders Connect
  • IP52 protection rating

Benefits

  • Pinpoint SF₆ leaks quickly and accurately
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
  • Support F-Gas compliance and LDAR programs
  • Perform inspections while equipment remains in service
  • Digitally document inspections and measurements
