Ammonia Exposure Risks:
- 5 ppm: Odor threshold; detectable by some people.
- 20 ppm: Noticeable irritation to most people; generally harmless.
- 20-30 ppm: Time-Weighted Average (TWA) safety threshold.
- 100 ppm: Causes discomfort to most people; harmless.
- 250 ppm: Irritates nose, throat, and eyes.
- 400 ppm: Causes eye pain and tearing within 30 minutes.
- 700 ppm: Maximum tolerable limit; should not remain in this environment.
- 2500 ppm: Causes severe coughing, irritation of nose and throat; may lead to death within 15 minutes.

Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press and hold the OK/ENT button to turn the device on or off.
Ammonia Gas Detection
The device automatically begins detecting ammonia gas upon power-on. The current NH3 concentration will be displayed in PPM on the main screen.
Temperature and Humidity Monitoring
The current ambient temperature and relative humidity (RH%) are displayed simultaneously with the ammonia levels on the LCD screen.
Data Logging
The AI-9000B features data logging capabilities, storing up to 180 sets of data. It records one data point per minute automatically, with each entry timestamped for easy anomaly tracking. Access logged data through the device's menu.
