4. Setup
4.1 Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
- Open the cover by sliding or unscrewing it as indicated.
- Insert the specified batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
4.2 Initial Power-On
After battery installation, press and hold the power button (usually located on the front or side) for a few seconds until the display illuminates. The device will typically perform a self-test upon startup.
4.3 Calibration
For optimal accuracy, it is recommended to perform an initial calibration or verify the factory calibration. Refer to the detailed calibration procedure in the full technical manual or contact UNI-T support for specific instructions. Regular calibration is crucial for reliable gas detection.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
- To Power On: Press and hold the power button until the screen activates.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the power button until a shutdown prompt appears, then confirm.
5.2 Understanding the Display
The high-definition color screen displays real-time gas concentration, unit of measurement, battery status, and alarm indicators. Consult the device's on-screen menu or full manual for detailed explanations of all display icons and readings.
5.3 Gas Detection
Once powered on, the detector continuously monitors the ambient air for Oxygen (O2) levels. Position the detector in the area where gas detection is required. The sensor draws in air via free diffusion.
5.4 Alarm Functions
The UT334-O2 is equipped with multiple alarm mechanisms:
- Audible Alarm: A loud beeping sound indicates an alarm condition.
- Visual Alarm: An alarm light (LED) will flash, typically red, to indicate an alarm.
- Vibration Alarm: The device will vibrate, providing a tactile alert.
Alarm thresholds are typically pre-set but may be adjustable via the device's menu. Refer to the full manual for details on setting alarm points.
5.5 Curve Graph Display
The device can display a curve graph of gas concentration over time, allowing users to monitor trends and identify fluctuations in O2 levels. Access this feature through the device's menu.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the detector with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing or display. Ensure the sensor inlet is clear of dust and debris.
6.2 Sensor Replacement
Gas sensors have a limited lifespan. When the sensor reaches its end of life or becomes faulty, it will need replacement. This procedure should only be performed by qualified personnel using genuine UNI-T replacement sensors. Refer to the technical service manual for detailed instructions.
6.3 Battery Replacement
Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in Section 4.1.
6.4 Storage
Store the detector in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive chemicals. Ensure batteries are removed if the device will be stored for an extended period.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your UT334-O2 detector, try the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries | Replace batteries; ensure correct polarity. |
| Inaccurate readings | Sensor contamination or out of calibration | Clean sensor inlet; perform calibration. |
| No alarm when gas detected | Alarm settings incorrect; speaker/vibrator fault | Check alarm thresholds in settings; contact support if hardware fault suspected. |
| Display not working | Battery issue; internal fault | Ensure batteries are charged/installed correctly. If problem persists, contact support. |
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact UNI-T customer support or your local distributor for further assistance.
