- The device supports Chinese and English language switching within the menu settings.
5.2 Gas Detection
Once powered on and warmed up, the device will display real-time gas concentrations.
- Ensure the sensor hole is unobstructed and exposed to the environment to be monitored.
- The 2.3-inch color screen will display the current concentration values for flammable gas, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide.
- Monitor the readings for any fluctuations or alarms.
5.3 Alarm Modes
The GT8220 provides multiple alarm indications when gas concentrations exceed preset thresholds.
- Audible Alarm: A loud sound will be emitted from the 'Honey hole' (speaker).
- Visual Alarm: The 'Warning light' will flash, and the screen display may change color or show alarm indicators.
- Vibration Alarm: The device will vibrate to alert the user.
- In case of an alarm, immediately evacuate the area if safe to do so, and follow established safety procedures.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, damp cloth.
