RECON/BSERIESENMET
1.0 Introduction
The RECON/BSERIES is a portable-single gas detector for detection of combustible or toxic gases. It is intended for detection
of combustible or toxic gas in commercial or industrial facilities to keep workers safe, and/or detect a potentially explosive gas
environment.
The R
ECON/B SERIES, adopting excellent-quality sensor, makes detection in the way of natural diffusion. It has good
sensitivity and reproducibility. The detector adopts embedded MCU controller, easy to operate.
The Recon/BS
ECON/B SERIES has an ingress protection rating of 65.
The R

When the battery voltage is low, the RECON/BSERIES will not function properly. To recharge the batteries of the RECON/B
SERIES: The RECON/BSERIES must be Off, connect the AC connector plugs of the charger to a 110VAC or 220VAC outlet and
plug the charging cable into the RECON/BSERIES. The detector will activate automatically and indicates that it is being
charged. When the charging cycle is completed, the display will indicate full charge.
WARNING: DO NOT start the battery charge process with the RECON/BSERIES power on; otherwise the charge speed will
be adversely affected. Always charge the battery in normal ambient air. Do not charge the R
