Choose a portable propane gas detector configured for the concentration range your work requires. The MH2000-C3H8 combines an infrared sensor with pump sampling to measure propane, with ordering options in ppm, percentage by volume or percentage of the lower explosive limit (% LEL). Each instrument is supplied for C3H8 with one selected range.
Choose the Range and Reporting Unit
For ppm readings, select 0-5000 ppm or 0-10000 ppm. The volume-concentration configurations cover 0-5% Vol, 0-50% Vol or 0-100% Vol. The 0-100% LEL configuration expresses the result relative to propane's lower explosive limit.
Match the range to the concentrations you expect and the unit specified in your measurement procedure. Range selection is part of the ordering configuration. Converting between concentration units requires the appropriate gas-specific basis; avoid assuming that the full scale of a volume range is equivalent to the full scale of the LEL configuration.

Pump, Display and Alarm Settings
Ten pump suction settings allow adjustment of the sample draw, with a maximum flow of 1 L/min. The LCD dot-matrix display presents the gas, concentration, measurement unit and time, and the controls support English and Chinese interface options.
Set the two alarm stages to the thresholds required by your propane-monitoring procedure. Alarm indications use sound, light and vibration. The instrument also provides temperature and pressure compensation, self-check, zero calibration and factory reset controls. Use the supplied instructions for instrument checks, calibration and alarm handling.
Power and Supplied Items
A rechargeable lithium-polymer battery powers the detector. Its engineering-plastic housing measures 205 x 75 x 32 mm, and the instrument weighs approximately 300 g. Operating conditions are -20 to 50 Degree C and 0-95% RH.
The package contains one propane detector, a charging/data cable, an instruction manual and an aluminum carrying case. Data logging and PC export are optional and excluded from the base configuration.
Images illustrate the shared series housing. Demonstration screen labels and readings can differ from the supplied propane version; the carrying-case photograph illustrates equipment appearance rather than a two-detector package.

My first impression after opening and installing batteries was that this meter is very well built considering the price and manufacturer. I had read some reviews stating that it's amp measurements were not accurate below 5 amps, I haven't seen any issues in any measurements I've taken, even side by side with my fluke meters. I've successfully taken accurate amp, voltage and continuity measurements with this ETCR6920B, the display is nice and legible. I haven't tried storing data and making transfers to a PC yet, the soft case is good enough for storage on a shelf and the test leads are of good quality and rated for 1000v. There's nothing bad to say about this meter especially when you consider the price, it's a really great meter.
