Gas Pup Introduction

Introduction

General Description

The Bacharach Gas Pup (Figure 1)

is a natural gas detection instru-

ment designed for general leak

detection, barholing operations,

regulator pressure checks, and line

pressure integrity operations. It

offers measurement of natural gas

(as methane) in the following three

ranges:

•PPM (Low) Range: Gas level

displayed in 0 to 2500 ppm as a

bar graph, allowing visual indica-

tion of the peak reading. Useful

for locating leaks in piping.

•LO% (Mid Percent) Range:

Measures natural gas in the

range of 0.2–5.0% by volume,

which corresponds to the lower

explosive limit (LEL) of methane.

•HI% (High Percent) Range: 0–100% by volume is useful in “pin

pointing” leaks in underground piping through barhole testing

The Gas Pup also features three pressure modes: High (0 to 99 psig);

Low (–9.9 to 9.9 psig); and Delta (displays a pressure change in the range

of ±9.9 psig from any reference pressure between 0 and 90 psig).

Three ‘AA’ batteries power the instrument. Pressing the key for at

least 1 second turns the instrument ON; after which, the battery voltage

is briefly displayed, followed by the gas and pressure sensors being

zeroed, and then followed by the display of the detected gas level.

The Gas Pup’s gas display is auto ranging, automatically switching

between its PPM, LO%, and HI% ranges as the detected gas level rises

and falls. The Gas Pup’s pressure-operating mode is selected by pressing

the key while the word “GAS” is being displayed during the

instrument’s warm-up period.

Introduction

Components

Natural Gas Detection

The instrument’s PPM and LO% ranges use a catalytic-bead detection

circuit, which is the most widely accepted method of detecting combus-

tible gases. The HI% range uses the thermal-conductivity method of

detection, which is a reliable method for measuring the concentration of

one gas in a second gas (methane in air).

Pressure Detection

The instrument contains a solid-state pressure sensor that supports the

instrument’s three pressure modes (High, Low & Delta). The optional

Pressure Hose Kit accessory with fittings (P/N 55-0038) can be used to

connect the instrument’s quick-connect pressure fitting to the pressure

source.

Sample Pump

An internal sample pump draws a gas sample into the instrument for

analysis. This is a convenience in the LO% and HI% gas ranges, providing

a more reliable and accurate test of gas levels. It is also important in the

PPM range to achieve a stable gas reading at low gas concentrations.

The sample pump includes a flow-failure function. If the flow is blocked

(e.g., clogged filter or crimped hose), the display will blink the letters

“F P” in the READING window. When the pump returns to normal

operation, the display stops blinking.

Batteries

Three ‘AA’ alkaline batteries supply power to the instrument. A fresh set

of batteries will typically last 6–8 hours, depending on how the instru-

ment is used. The batteries are housed in a battery block internal to the

instrument, and are protected with a metal cover and retained by two

thumbscrews. This design allows the batteries to be quickly replaced in

an area known not to contain explosive gases.

Case

The instrument is housed in an anodized extruded aluminum case. The

instrument is rugged, resistant to water and electromagnetic interfer-

ence. Rubber-bumper guards provide impact protection on both ends of

the instrument.

Control Panel Description

Two pushbutton controls and a large LCD are conveniently located at the

top of the instrument. The backlit LCD provides highly readable indica-

tions of natural gas or pressure in any lighting condition ranging from

direct sunlight to total darkness.

The control panel consists of the following three windows and two

pushbutton keys:

•READING Window: A two-digit display that is used to primarily display

the concentration of natural gas in the LO% and HI% gas ranges. The

READING window also displays pressure readings when the instru-

ment is operating in any one of its three pressure modes.

•Bar Graph Window: Provides a real time moving display of the natural

gas concentration to give a better ‘feel’ of when the gas level has

reached a peak. The bar graph is active only in the PPM and HI%

ranges.

•RANGE Window: Identifies the range in which the instrument is

currently operating. This is accomplished by means of a pointer, which

in conjunction with range-labels printed on the display overlay, define a

range for the gas reading.

•Key: Turns the instrument, and also the backlight, ON and OFF.

•Key: Changes the instrument’s function as determined by its current

operating mode, thus allowing a variety of functions to be selected with

just one pushbutton. Refer to text in this manual’s Operating section for

details.

Gas and Pressure Fittings

Two quick-connect fittings (Figure 3) provide convenient connections to

the gas probe and pressure hose assemblies.

The gas fitting mates with a quick-connect female plug, while the pres-

sure fitting mates with a quick-connect male plug.
