4. Setup

4.1 Initial Charging

The UT334F is equipped with a built-in 2500mAh lithium battery. Before first use, or if the battery is low, charge the device using the provided MicroUSB cable and a compatible power adapter (not always included, typically a standard 5V USB charger).

1. Connect the MicroUSB cable to the charging port on the device.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB power source.
3. The display will show a charging indicator. Allow the device to charge fully.

4.2 Powering On/Off

• To Power On: Press and hold the Power/OK button for a few seconds until the display illuminates and the device starts up.
• To Power Off: Press and hold the Power/OK button. A prompt may appear asking for confirmation to shut down. Select "Yes" or press the Power/OK button again to confirm.

4.3 Language Selection

The device supports both English and Chinese interfaces. Refer to the device's menu settings to switch between languages. Typically, this can be found under "System Settings" or "Language".

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Real-time Gas Detection

Once powered on, the UT334F will automatically begin detecting gas concentrations in its environment. The 2.4-inch color LCD display will show real-time readings for EX, H2S, CO, and O2.

• EX: Combustible gas concentration, typically displayed in %LEL (Lower Explosive Limit).
• H2S: Hydrogen Sulfide concentration, typically displayed in PPM (Parts Per Million).
• CO: Carbon Monoxide concentration, typically displayed in PPM.
• O2: Oxygen concentration, typically displayed in %VOL (Percentage by Volume).

5.2 Alarm System

The device is equipped with a quadruple alarm system to alert users to dangerous gas levels. Alarms are triggered when gas concentrations exceed pre-set low or high alarm points.

• Audible Alarm: A loud buzzer sound.
• Visual Alarm: LED lights will flicker, and the screen background may change (e.g., to red).
• Vibration Alarm: The device will vibrate.
• Screen Flashing: The display itself will flash to draw attention.

To acknowledge or silence an alarm, refer to the device's on-screen prompts or press the OK button.

5.3 Data Logging and Curve Drawing

The UT334F automatically stores detection data. Users can access historical data and view gas concentration trends through the curve drawing function.

1. Navigate to the "Data Log" or "History" menu option using the navigation buttons.
2. Select specific records to view detailed information.
3. Choose the "Curve Drawing" option to visualize gas concentration changes over time. This feature is useful for identifying patterns or intermittent gas releases.

5.4 Setting Alarm Thresholds

The device allows for customization of low and high alarm points for each gas. This feature enables users to tailor the detector's response to specific safety requirements.

1. Access the "Alarm Settings" or "Thresholds" menu.
2. Select the gas (EX, H2S, CO, O2) for which you want to adjust the alarm points.
3. Use the navigation buttons to increase or decrease the low and high alarm values.
4. Confirm your settings to save the changes.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain the device's performance and longevity.

• Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the casing or display.
• Ensure the sensor inlet is free from dust and obstructions. Use a soft brush if necessary, but avoid inserting objects into the sensor opening.

6.2 Battery Care

To maximize battery life and ensure reliable operation:

• Charge the device fully before long periods of storage.
• Avoid completely draining the battery frequently.
• If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months.

6.3 Calibration

Gas detectors require periodic calibration to ensure accuracy. While the device uses high-quality sensors, environmental factors and sensor aging can affect readings over time.

• Refer to the manufacturer's specific calibration schedule and procedures.
• Calibration typically involves exposing the sensors to known concentrations of gases and adjusting the device to match these values.
• It is recommended to have calibration performed by certified technicians or use approved calibration kits.
