Avertissement

⚫ N'utilisez jamais le moniteur lorsque le couvercle est enlevé.

⚫ Retirer le couvercle du moniteur et la batterie uniquement dans une zone connue comme non dangereuse.

⚫ La substitution de composants compromettra l'aptitude à la sécurité intrinsèque et annulera la garantie.

⚫ Il est recommandé de tester avec un gaz de concentration connu pour confirmer q ue l'instrument fonctionne correctement avant de l'utiliser.

⚫ Avant de l’utiliser, assurez -vous que le film ESD sur l'écran n'est pas endommagé ou épluché.

Precautions

⚫ For maximum safety, the accuracy of the instrument should be checked by exposing it to a known concentration calibration gas before each day’s use.

⚫ Ensure that the gas inlet is not blocked.

⚫ When replacing batteries, dispose of old ones properly.

⚫ For optimal accuracy, allow the unit to warm up for 2 minutes after the start-up cycle is complete.

⚫ Make sure the water-trap filter is clean & replaced timely.

⚫ Remove the sensor only if absolutely necessary. Zero & span calibration are required if the sensor is moved.

Turning the Unit On

Press and hold the Down Key for 3 seconds, until buzzer beeps and the red LED flashes indicating the unit is powered on. After a warm-up and selftest sequence, the unit enters normal reading mode, showing real time gas concentrations.

Turning the Unit Off

In normal reading mode, press and hold the Down or Right Key; the unit will count down 5 seconds, with red LED flash and buzzer beep once per second. After the last long flash and beep, the LCD displays “Unit Off” and the unit is powered off.

Testing the Alarms

Important!

Test the alarms prior to performing a bump or span calibration test. If any alarm does not respond, check the Alarm Settings in Config Mode to make sure all alarms are enabled (Config mode → Alm Setting →

Alarm Settings → All Enabled). If any alarms are enabled but are not functional, do not use the instrument.

Under normal operation mode and non-alarm conditions, the buzzer, LED and backlight can be tested anytime by pressing the Right Key once.

Water-trap Filter

The water-trap filter （ P/N: 11.10.02.0038

） is used to protect the sensor from dust in dirty environments. The filter should be twisted on the gas inlet before the instrument is used. The filter should be replaced in time once its surface is dirty.

Charging

The battery charge status is shown on the small icon in the upper right corner of the display. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before use.

Plug the charger cable in to the bottom of the unit and the USB connector to a personal computer or other power adaptor. While charging, the battery icon cycles from empty to full. When the battery is fully charged, the LCD displays a full battery when the cable is removed.

Span Calibration

Span calibration is to get the response of the sensor to the gas. It is done with a known concentration gas.

⚫ To enter span calibration:

Config Mode → Calibration → Span Calib.

⚫ To start span calibration:

Apply Gas → Start Calibration → Wait for

Count-down Finish → Get Result.

Bump Test

A bump test is used to check if the sensors and alarms are still working properly.

⚫ To enter bump test:

Config mode → Calibration → Bump Test.

⚫ To bump test the unit:

Apply Gas to inlet → Start Bump using Up Key

→ Wait for Count-down Finish → Get Result.

Fresh Air Calibration

Fresh air calibration is to get the baseline for the sensor. It is done with either 1) a zero air gas cylinder, 2) ambient air scrubbed with a new charcoal tube, or 3) fresh air outdoor known to be away from any responding compounds

⚫ To enter fresh air calibration:

Config Mode → Calibration → Zero Calib.

⚫ To start fresh air calibration:

Press the Right Key and a count-down timer starts. The calibration result “Pass” or “Fail” will be displayed when the count-down is finished.

The user can press the Left Key to cancel calibration during the count down.
