1. Appearance of the instrument

The instrument includes a display screen, four highlighted alarm LED lights, a charging indicator light, buzzer and four action buttons. The display displays a variety of test data and instrument status information. The charge indicator indicates the charge state. USB interface can be used to charge as well as to connect with the host computer. Built-in vibration motor which makes the alarm vibrate, allows users to more easily use in noisy environments.

⑤: sensor plate ⑥: Sensor ⑦: cover ⑧: Calibration cover

⑨: Calibration cover fixing screw

3. Charge

The instrument should be charged before using. It can be charged via the USB interface. Please pull out the USB soft plug before charging, connect USB charger and the instrument automatically starts charging. During charging, the indicator light is red and it turns green after it is complete.

When the battery voltage is less than the operating voltage, the instrument will automatically shut down. In this case the instrument cannot boot and you must connect the charger before use.

Unplug the USB rubber plug at the bottom of the instrument

When the battery is less than 20 % and less than 10 %, the buzzer starts sounding and the power indicator on the LCD screen gives out a red low-battery warning symbol. When the battery is running out, the instrument automatically shuts down and powers off in 3 seconds.

4. Battery use

Battery performance is affected by many factors, including sensor type, instruments’ temperature and the chosen or used functions or settings.

In order to achieve optimal battery performance, observe the following rules:

1. A new battery or unused battery takes a long time to charge
2. While charging, keep the battery at or near room temperature
3. High temperature, exposure and other factors will reduce battery life. Try to avoid this type of environment.
4. After long-term use, the battery will gradually wear out and needs to be changed. You need to buy original batteries or batteries approved by the Company as inferior parts can damage equipment and cause danger!

5. Instrument startup and shutdown

Start Up

Press and hold the power button for more than three seconds, the instrument automatically turns on. Boot the speaker alarm. The instrument self-tests for 90 s and shows the concentration detection interface.

If the following conditions occur, press the power button for 3 seconds to restart the device.

• The buzzer does not sound
• Vibration alarm does not work
• LED does not light Indicating an error

Shutdown

In addition to the instruments’ preheat mode, regardless of the instrument being in any other mode, hold down the switch button for 5 seconds, release the button, the screen is off, the instrument is turned off.

6. Operation of the instrument

6.1 Overview of Operation

During normal use, there are two modes of operation: normal mode, program mode. Conventional mode is the mode to enter after the start of the instrument, also called measurement mode. After booting, the instrument automatically enters the normal mode to measure gas concentration, displays the current measured gas concentration.

Programming mode: After entering the mode menu in programming mode, you can change various parameters of the instrument. In the programming mode, you can zero and span calibration. Under normal circumstances, you can use the normal mode.

6.1.1 Conventional mode

Normal mode: The instrument enters the normal mode boot default. In the normal mode, the instrument has a real-time display of gas concentration measurement, the measuring data recording. Within this mode, you can display the battery power, gas type, current real-time concentration, concentration units, and time.

6.1.2. Programming mode

Programming Mode: In measurement mode, press [OK] key to enter the programming mode. 6 sub-menus display the programming mode, enter each menu, you can make various types of parameters.

Enter the programming mode, the cursor appears in the first item “Calibration” and press [up and down] keys to move the cursor to the next item, press the [OK] key to enter the submenu. Press [Back] key to return to the measurement mode.

There are six function main menu in programming mode, each for: parameter setting, gas calibration, alarm settings, language settings, history, system settings. And other functions. Main menu and sub-menu content in programming mode as follows:

6.2 Instrument menu operation

6.2.1 Calibration settings

Instrument calibration mode is as follows: for each gas individually calibrated, select calibration channel by menu. Please adhere to calibration rules to calibrate, or may not succeed!

Zero calibration:

Calibration conditions: before zero calibration, put sensor in pure nitrogen for at least 60 s. Then in the calibration sub-menu to select the zero calibration, press [OK] key to pop up dialog box, select whether zero calibration (the default is no). Press [up and down] keys to select, “OK” to perform a zero calibration, press the [OK] key to zero calibration. If the buzzer starts sounding, it means the calibration was successful. At the same time dynamic displays the current value of the option ADC value, Zero calibration menu and dynamic display of current gas concentration values.

Range calibration: instrument needs to range calibration at the standard gas concentration.  Like the same as zero calibration, range calibration should be placed in standard gas for at least 60 s. Press [OK] key to pop up dialog box, select whether to scale calibration (the default is no). Press [up and down] keys to select, press “OK” to range calibration, press the [OK] key to range calibration hear the buzzer sounding which means range calibration was successful.

Restore Default: to restore calibration parameters to the factory set.

Note: Before calibrate to restore the default setting first

ADC value: dynamic display the current environment ADC value.

Note: Read-only cannot be modify the concentration values.
