6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Power On/Off
- To Power On: Press and hold the power button (usually the central button) for a few seconds until the device powers on and initiates a self-test sequence.
- Self-Test: Upon startup, the device will perform a self-check, including sensor verification and alarm tests. This process may take approximately one minute. Wait for the self-test to complete before use.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the power button again until the device powers down.
6.2. Interpreting Readings
The LCD screen displays real-time concentrations for each of the four monitored gases:
- EX (LEL): Lower Explosive Limit for combustible gases, displayed as a percentage.
- O2: Oxygen concentration, displayed as %VOL (percentage by volume). A normal oxygen level is approximately 20.9%VOL.
- H2S: Hydrogen Sulfide concentration, displayed in PPM (parts per million).
- CO: Carbon Monoxide concentration, displayed in PPM (parts per million).
Refer to local safety regulations and guidelines for acceptable gas level ranges in your specific environment.
6.3. Alarm Functions
The ADKS-4 Gas Detector features three distinct alarm types to alert users when gas concentrations exceed preset thresholds:
- Visual Alarm: Flashing LED lights on the device.
- Audible Alarm: A loud beeping sound.
- Vibration Alarm: The device vibrates.
These alarms operate simultaneously to ensure warnings are not missed, even in noisy or low-visibility conditions.

7. Calibration
The ADKS-4 Gas Detector comes with factory-preset calibration levels that adhere to industry standards. While the device is ready for use out of the box, it is possible to adjust these calibration levels if specific operational requirements dictate. Accessing calibration settings typically requires a password to prevent unintended changes. It is recommended to consult the detailed instructions within the device's internal menu or contact support for advanced calibration procedures.
8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure sensor inlets are clear of dust and debris.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided carrying case for protection.
- Sensor Life: The oxygen sensor has a service life of 2-5 years. Other sensors also have a finite lifespan. Regular maintenance and calibration checks help ensure their accuracy.
- Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly, even if the device is not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ADKS-4 Gas Detector, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Device not powering on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the device to the charger and attempt to power on after a few minutes.
- Inaccurate readings: Perform a bump test or calibration check. Ensure sensor inlets are not obstructed. Verify the device is operating within its specified environmental conditions.
- Alarms not functioning: Check device settings to ensure alarms are enabled. During startup, the device performs an alarm self-test; if this fails, contact support.
- Short battery life: Ensure the device is fully charged. Battery performance can degrade over time; if significantly reduced, consider battery replacement (by authorized service only).
