Description

The FNGD02 portable detector is a professional instrument for the rapid detection of methane, propane and isobutane. It features a 2โ€ณ colour TFT display, a 36 cm flexible probe and a triple alarm with visual, audible and vibration warning. Ideal for installations, technical inspections and work in hard-to-reach areas.

The FNGD02 is a portable combustible gas detector designed to deliver the highest accuracy, fast response and safety in every working situation: from domestic and industrial installations to maintenance work and technical inspections in homes or professional premises.

Thanks to its high-sensitivity sensor and advanced digital control, the FNGD02 detects methane, propane and isobutane immediately, with extremely fast response times and measurement stability that holds up even in the most demanding conditions. The high-definition colour display shows the detected gas levels, temperature, humidity and every essential parameter clearly and at a glance, for an intuitive, professional user experience.

The FNGD02 includes smart functions that make it more efficient and practical on the job: alarm logging, a mode for analysing curves over time and a built-in LED torch make it a complete instrument, ready for any kind of inspection. The triple alarm โ€” audible, visual and vibrating โ€” ensures maximum safety even in noisy environments or where visibility is poor.

The device comes with a complete set of accessories that makes it ready to use straight away and suitable for a wide range of applications:

  • 36 cm flexible probe, designed to reach awkward spots easily: behind appliances, along pipework and at connections in tight spaces.

  • USB-C cable for power and updates, stable and hard-wearing, to keep the instrument firmware always up to date.

  • Dedicated protective case, ideal for carrying the meter in complete safety during outdoor work, technical inspections or maintenance jobs.

  • User manual included, with detailed instructions for everyday operation and safety procedures.

The FNGD02 is designed for anyone looking for lasting reliability, accurate measurements and maximum operating flexibility. Fast response, high sensitivity, professional readout and advanced analysis functions together let you work continuously and with confidence, finding any gas leak simply and immediately.

Its ergonomic, compact and lightweight design suits technicians, installers, maintenance staff, safety inspectors and any professional who needs a dependable instrument for field work. Its features, combined with its rugged build, deliver professional-grade performance in both industrial and domestic settings.

Thanks to its complete set of accessories, advanced digital control and quality materials, the FNGD02 is an ideal solution for anyone who wants a versatile, accurate and safe gas detector able to deliver high performance and consistent reliability over time.


Combustible gas detector with flexible probe and digital display

The FNGD02 detector measures methane, propane and isobutane up to 50,000 ppm, with a 36 cm flexible probe, triple alarm, data logging and a fast response in just 5 seconds, giving precise checks even in awkward spaces and during demanding technical work.


Professional checks on boilers, hobs and propane tanks

It measures methane, propane and isobutane over a range up to 50,000 ppm, for quick checks on boilers, stoves, hobs, tanks and flues.
The flexible probe makes it easier to check the most awkward points, while the fast response allows immediate, safe action.


Complete technology for accurate detection in every situation

Curve logging, data storage, a 2โ€ณ IPS display, a rechargeable battery and a built-in torch make up a complete set of functions for inspections that are quick, accurate and always under control.


360ยฐ flexible probe for full access to critical points

The 36 cm flexible probe makes it easy to check hidden pipework and fittings, while the highly reactive sensor guarantees a response of less than 0.5 seconds.
The 1 ppm resolution ensures accurate detection of even the smallest leaks.


Graph analysis for a clear view of how the gas level changes

Graph mode shows how the gas concentration changes over time, making peaks, drops and sudden variations obvious.
It is essential support for tracking down intermittent leaks and assessing how a situation is developing, quickly and precisely.


Immediate identification of methane, LPG and natural gas

The high-resolution sensor quickly detects methane, propane, LPG and natural gas over a range up to 50,000 ppm.
A response of less than 5 seconds and the triple alarm system ensure leaks are spotted immediately, making every technical job easier and improving operational safety.


Data always visible thanks to the high-definition colour screen

The 2โ€ณ IPS screen gives excellent visibility of every parameter, with large, high-contrast figures.
You can switch quickly between ยฐC and ยฐF and read PPM, %LEL, temperature and humidity with maximum clarity, even when working in poorly lit places.


Built-in alarm history for full control over time

The internal log records more than 30 alarm events, making later review and analysis easier.
The triple warning system โ€” visual, audible and vibrating โ€” ensures immediate alerts even in noisy places or where visibility is poor.


Consistent performance thanks to the high-capacity built-in battery

The built-in 1500 mAh battery allows long working sessions without interruption.
The automatic power-off function cuts consumption when the device is left idle, optimising runtime and keeping performance dependable throughout every inspection.


Optimal visibility even in the darkest places

Day/night mode automatically adapts the display brightness, keeping the reading clear in any environment.
The built-in torch lets you inspect pipework and connections in the dark too, for quick, precise work in any situation.
