Arson and forensic scanner having a hydrocarbon gas detector with a detachable collector cone and kit assembly

An arson and forensic scanner and hydrocarbon gas detector apparatus, comprising:

• a rear section including a screw off cap for inserting a power supply for supplying power to the apparatus;
• a front section including a flashlight head with a captive hood for capturing gas or volatiles and having a removable circular illumination section including a hydrocarbon sensor for detecting trace amounts of accelerants, a plurality of inter arrays made up of sixteen LEDs spaced around the hydrocarbon sensor, the plurality of inter arrays including blue LEDs, amber LEDs, red LEDs, and green LEDs, a plurality of outer rings made up of sixteen LEDs spaced around the plurality of inter arrays, the plurality of outer rings including ultraviolet LEDs, and eight LEDs,
• a middle section including a hydrocarbon sensitivity control switch, the sensitivity control switch being dial controlled and adjustable over a specific range with viewable graduations, for activating the arson and forensic scanner and hydrocarbon detector, and the hydorcarbon sensitivity switch electrically connected to the hydrocarbon sensor, and a viewable tip bar indicator positioned above the viewable graduations, the viewable tip bar indicator for indicating the plurality of inter arrays and the plurality of outer rings are active, the hydrocarbon sensor is ready, and the power supply is low;
• a light button, positioned on one side of the sensitivity control switch, for operating the plurality of inter arrays and the plurality of outer rings;
• and
• an electronic purge button, positioned on the other side of the sensitivity control switch, for purging the hydrocarbon sensor after exposure to hydrocarbon gas.

An arson and forensic scanner and hydrocarbon gas detector apparatus, comprising:

• a rear section including a screw off cap for inserting a power supply for supplying power to the apparatus;
• a front section including a flashlight head with a captive hood for capturing gas or volatiles and having a removable circular illumination section including at least thirty-two LEDs of ultraviolet, white and infrared LED arrays for influencing hydrocarbons to fluoresce;
• a hydrocarbon sensor for detecting trace amounts of accelerants and mounted in a center of the circular illumination section;
• a middle section including a hydrocarbon sensitivity control switch, the sensitivity control switch being dial controlled and adjustable over a specific range with viewable graduations, for activating the arson and forensic scanner and hydrocarbon detector, and the hydrocarbon sensitivity switch electrically connected to the hydrocarbon sensor, and a viewable tip bar indicator positioned above the viewable graduations, the viewable tip bar indicator for indicating the thirty-two LEDs are active, the hydrocarbon sensor is ready, and if the power supply is low;
• a light button, positioned on one side of the sensitivity control switch, for operating the thirty-two LEDs;
• and
• an electronic purge button, positioned on the other side of the sensitivity control switch, for purging the hydrocarbon sensor after exposure to hydrocarbon gas.
