The instrument uses a semiconductor gas sensor element energized with a regulated voltage source and placed in the atmosphere to be tested to generate a signal representative of the concentration of natural gas in the air. A meter displays the signal to determine whether the area is hazardous, and a variable repetition rate blocking oscillator feeding a speaker is responsive to the signal for generating an audible tick rate useful in locating a leak. The instrument is light-weight, portable, easy to use and intended to comply with industry standards as an intrinsically safe instrument.
