This interface is to wait for the instrument parameters to stabilize. The scroll bar in the middle of the LCD indicates the waiting time, about 50s. X% is the progress of the current run. In the lower right corner of the display is the current instrument time (this time can be changed as needed in the menu).

When the waiting time percentage is 100%, the instrument will enter the monitoring gas display interface. Take carbon monoxide as an example, as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 26 confirm clear

Step 3: Press the right button to return to the interface of gas type selection after the zero correction is completed. At this time, you can choose other gas type to do zero correction. The method is the same as above. After zero clearing, press the menu until to return to the gas detection interface, or automatically exit the menu and return to the gas detection interface after no button pressing is reduced to 0 on the countdown interface.

Gas calibration
Step 1: Turn on the calibration gas. After the displayed value of the gas is stable, enter the main menu and select the calibration selection menu. The specific operation method is Step 1 of zero calibration.
Step 2: Select the function item Gas Calibration, press the right button to enter the calibration gas selection interface, the gas selection method is the same as the zero calibration selection method, after selecting the gas type to be calibrated, press the right button to enter the selected gas calibration value setting interface, As shown in Figure 27, then use the left and right buttons to set the concentration value of the calibration gas. Assuming that the calibration is now carbon monoxide gas, the concentration value of the calibration gas is 500ppm, then set it to ’0500′. As shown in Figure 28.

Figure 27 correction gas type selection

Figure 28 setting the concentration value of standard gas

Step 3: set up after the gas concentration, press the middle button, in the interface to the gas calibration interface, as shown in Figure 29, the interface has a value which is the current detecting gas concentration, when the interface countdown to 10, can press the left button to manual calibration, the gas automatic calibration after 10 s, after a successful interface display XXXX calibration success, otherwise display XXXX calibration failed, Display format is shown in Figure 30.’ XXXX ‘refers to the calibrated gas type.

Figure 30 calibration result prompt

Step 4: After the calibration is successful, if the displayed value of the gas is not stable, you can repeat calibration. If the calibration fails, please check whether the concentration of the standard gas is consistent with the calibration setting value. After the gas calibration is completed, press the right button to return to the gas type selection interface to calibrate other gases.
Step 5: After all the gas calibration is completed, press the menu until to return to the gas detection interface, or automatically exit the menu and return to the gas detection interface after the countdown interface reduces to 0 without pressing any button.

3.3.6 Return
In the main menu interface, press the left button to select the ‘Return’ function, and then press the right button to return to the previous menu.

Attention

1. Avoid using the instrument in corrosive environment
2. Be sure to avoid contact between the instrument and water.
3. Do not wire with electricity.
4. Regularly clean the sensor filter to avoid the filter clogging and unable to detect gas normally.
