Default natural gas detector?

Anyone used the inficon 706-600-G1? According to spec it seems more

Unfortunately I could not find any user review.

I was in my crawl space and I thought I smelled some natural gas odor
near a gas pipe. But then, there were multiple odors down there so I
could be wrong.


Call utility company; they'll do leak detection reliably per request--if
it's your line you'll be responsible for the repair if they do find
leak, of course, but any place I've been the detection is pro bono.

I had the odor in the room with the water heater.
Called gas company who eventually found it was due to a corroded pipe
outside that went to my outdoor grill.
Final proof was fun. He put a lighter to the ground and it flamed up.
