3.2 Display Interpretation

The monitor's display provides real-time readings for all four gases, along with alarm indicators and operational status.

• H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide): Displays concentration in ppm.
• CO (Carbon Monoxide): Displays concentration in ppm.
• O2 (Oxygen): Displays concentration as a percentage (%).
• LEL (Lower Explosive Limit): Displays concentration as a percentage of the LEL.
• HIGH/LOW: Indicators for high and low alarm thresholds.
• STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit): Indicates the 15-minute average exposure.
• TWA (Time Weighted Average): Indicates the 8-hour average exposure.
• 24 months: Indicates remaining operational life.

3.3 Alarms

The MGC-S 4 Multi Gas Monitor is equipped with visual, audible, and vibratory alarms to alert users to hazardous gas levels.

• Visual Alarm: The display will flash, and LED lights will illuminate.
• Audible Alarm: A loud buzzer will sound.
• Vibratory Alarm: The device will vibrate.
• Upon alarm activation, immediately follow your company's safety protocols for gas detection. This typically involves evacuating the area and reporting the alarm.
