Does the detector identify the gas found?

No it only lets you know there is a presence of combustible gas - not which gas it is

No it doesn't. And actually I don't recommend it. I just had a dryer fire and this detector was right over top of it in the laundry room. The room was filled with smoke by the time we noticed it and the detector never went off and afterwards I tested it and it tested fine. I had just put a new battery in the 2 of them I purchased about 2 weeks prior. My husband lit a paper roll and put it under them and despite the fire and smoke they didn't go off. I threw them in the trash. My home could have burned down and lives lost. Thank Heavens we were here .

Yes it will find the white gold ring, lower the discrimination level to (Irn3). Read the manual to set a custom discrimination level, you can also try it with program 1. This is a great detector for the money, take it from someone who has $1500 detectors. But you must read the manual several times!!!

You mean CO, not CO2. No, this model does not have a CO sensor. There are other models that do, though. Call First Alert. They were extremely helpful in making sure I had the model numbers for detectors with the features needed for each location.

All this device does is measure mow many dissolved solids are in the water, not what they are. It could be iron, lead, calcium, chlorine, benzine, whatever. what your looking for is a gas spectrometer. Very much outside the range of handheld gadgetry.

Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house. Mine has never detected has but it has a test button and the alarm is audible throughout my entire house (1700 sq ft.). There is a constant green light on and dashes across the screen indicating it is on. The unit comes with an instruction booklet that explains the display and what to do if the device goes off. We have a gas furnace and it's peace of mind to have this. I live in Oklahoma and just recently a house exploded from a gas leak. This would undoubtedly warn me if levels rose that high so that myself and proper authorities could take action.

Yes, both gold and silver but sometimes it detects aluminum and tin as silver. Not a bad detector for beginers.

It will detect the radiation emitted by radon gas, but it is not, per se, a radon gas detector. There are detectors sold which are used for a few hours up to a few weeks that you set out, then send in to get a radon level count. I'm sure those would prove far more useful if that is your goal.

I can't guarantee it, but I would think not. It lists that it detects propane/natural gas but doesn't list butane.

No. Geiger Counters detect Gamma, Beta and X-Ray radiation. Radon Gas is Alpha particles and you need a special device to detect those properly. RADEX brand carries an easy-to use, highly practical Radon Gas detector: MR106N. Please see our listing here for more details:SIRAD MR-106N Radon Detector (Eng)Best Regards,Dmitry C.Quarta-Rad, Inc.

This unit detects the presence of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide usually occurs from a gas appliance or furnace that is misfiring, is not burning correctly, or is not vented correctly. Carbon monoxide is an odorless killer.

Not that I could see, but I haven't used it a lot yet. From what I understand, if you use it all the time it may eventually wear out the O2 sensors faster, but if you have enough money to run this stuff all the time in every tank then I guess it's a small price to pay!

The probe has a tiny wheel that controls the sensetivity. Remember to check the probe on a (known to be on) outlet before you test the unknown one.

This detector "comes with" several features not found in less expensive models. It has a 'pin pointer' feature that is useful. Study the manual.I purchased a Garrett "Pro Pointer" which I use in conjunction with the detector. Use the included earphones.

depends on proximity. (the more ferrous mass the longer distance it will detect. less mass need to be closer)get detector as close to travel path as possible.

According to the manual, yes. I haven't used for that purpose yet but states it detects them all.
