• Gas Sensors: Located at the tip of the device, responsible for detecting gas concentrations.
• Display Screen: Shows gas concentration levels via a bar graph and other indicators.
• Alarm Switching Button (S): Used to adjust alarm settings or sensitivity.
• Power On/Off Button (⏻): Controls the device's power.
• Clamp: Allows for easy attachment to a pocket or belt.
• Battery Cover: Provides access to the battery compartment.

4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

1. Unscrew the battery cover located at the bottom of the device.
2. Insert the two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
3. Securely replace the battery cover.

4.2 Initial Power On and Preheating

After battery installation, press the orange Power On/Off button (⏻). The device will enter a 20-second preheating period. During this time, the sensor stabilizes for accurate readings. Wait for the preheating to complete before proceeding with detection.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Detecting Gas Leaks

1. Ensure the device has completed its 20-second preheating cycle.
2. Point the gas sensor tip towards the area suspected of a gas leak. Move the device slowly along pipes, connections, or appliances.
3. The device can detect leaks in approximately 3 seconds.

5.2 Understanding Alarms

The detector features both visual and audible alarms:

• Visual Alarm: As gas concentration increases, the bar graph on the display will rise. If the gas concentration becomes too high, the display will turn red.
• Audible Alarm: The device will emit beeps. The frequency of these beeps increases proportionally with the detected gas concentration.

5.3 Types of Gases Detected

This detector is suitable for identifying a range of combustible gases, including but not limited to:

• Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
• Methane
• Ethane
• Propane
• Butane
• Natural Gas
• Coal Gas
• Gas Fuel
• Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator shows low power, replace the AAA batteries following the installation steps in Section 4.1.

6.2 Cleaning

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing or internal components.

6.3 Storage

If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the detector in its carrying pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on: Check if batteries are installed correctly with proper polarity. Replace batteries if they are depleted.
• Inaccurate readings or no detection: Ensure the device has completed its 20-second preheating cycle. The sensor may be obstructed; ensure the tip is clean.
• Alarm sounds continuously without gas: Move to a fresh air environment to allow the sensor to clear. If the issue persists, the sensor may require calibration or replacement (contact support).
