Specificity Results (in addition to above for TT502 and TT5000)
Activated: synthetic gasoline, diesel, heating oil #2, jet-A fuel (TT5000 only).
Not Activated: water.
Specificity Results (in addition to above for TT3000):
Activated: water
Not Activated: unleaded gasoline, synthetic gasoline, diesel, JP-8 fuel.
Comments
Evaluation also covered quantitative leak location.
TT502, TT5000 Fuel Sensing cable is not reusable.
Lower detection limit is calculated at MER only, and cable is assumed to be equally or more sensitive at shorter lengths.
***California regulations require sensors to be tested annually to verify proper operation. The detector is not reusable and must be replaced after contact with hydrocarbons.
