4.2 Powering On/Off
- To Power On: Press and hold the power button (usually the center button) until the display illuminates and the device performs a self-test.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the power button until the device powers down.
4.3 Initial Calibration (Zeroing)
For accurate readings, it is recommended to perform a fresh air calibration (zeroing) in a clean, gas-free environment before each use or regularly. Refer to the on-screen menu for calibration options. Place the standard gas hood over the sensors if required for specific calibration procedures.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Gas Detection
Once powered on, the device will continuously monitor the levels of H2S, O2, CO, and EX (combustible gases). The current concentration for each gas will be displayed on the LCD screen.

5.2 Alert System
The detector is equipped with a triple alert system to notify users of hazardous gas levels:
Figure 6: Illustration of the visual, audible, and tactile alert modes.
- Visual Alarm: Red LED lights on the top of the device will flash.
- Audible Alarm: A loud siren will sound.
- Tactile Alarm: The device will vibrate.
These alarms activate when gas concentrations exceed the preset low or high alarm points. Refer to the Specifications section for default alarm thresholds.
5.3 Data Logging and Review
The device stores historical alarm records and monitoring data. Access this feature through the device's menu to review past events and gas level trends. This function is crucial for safety management and incident analysis.
5.4 Carrying the Device
Utilize the integrated back clip to securely attach the detector to your clothing, belt, or equipment for hands-free operation and continuous monitoring in your work area.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing or sensors. Ensure sensor inlets are free from dust and debris.
6.2 Storage
When not in use, store the detector in its provided aluminum alloy carrying case in a cool, dry, and dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6.3 Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the device when the battery level is low. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months.
