RECON-IS ENMET
1.0 Introduction
The RECON-IS Series instruments are designed to detect toxic gases and oxygen concentrations in ambient air and has been
approved to be used in hazardous locations.
Their one button operation, low power consumption and small size makes them ideal for use in many situations like, oil field,
chemical plant and the mining industry as well as confined space entry, general construction and environmental industries.
NOTE: All specifications stated in this manual may change without notice.
1.1 Unpack
Unpack the RECON-IS and examine it for shipping da mag e . If such damage is observed, notify both ENMET customer
service personnel and the commercial carrier involved immediately.
1.2 Check Order
Check, the contents of the shipment against the purchase order. Verify that the RECON-IS is received as ordered. Each
RECON-IS is labeled with its target gas. If there are accessories on the order, ascertain that they are present. Check the
contents of calibration kits. Notify ENMET customer service personnel of any discrepancy immediately.
1.3 Safety Information
Please read the following information carefully before usi ng the detector .
Do not use a damaged gas detector.
Do not open the RECON-IS in a possible explosive working environment.
Caution should be used if the background oxygen concentration is greater then 20.9% by volume since there is a
greater risk of ignition of a combustible gas if present. Oxygen concentration in the air exceeding 20.9%vol could
reduce the anti-explosion feature of the detector.
ENMET recommends that a "Bump Test" be performed to confirm sensor responds and to ensure that the audio, visual
and vibration alarms are working properly.

D. Display the version number:
E. Display the preset low alarming value and the high alarming value:
F. Display STEL and TWA levels:
G. Warm-up Completion:
After passing the self test, the detector starts warm-up, display shows 3, 2, 1. The unit is now operational and
mentoring for the target gas concentration in the area:
If the self test fails, the RECON-IS will turn off automatically. Please contact the ENMET for information.
3.2 Turn Off RECON-IS

3.3 Information Checking
In the normal monitoring status, press and release the button twice to activate the backlite. Press the button for about 1 second
and the screen will display: STEL level, TWA level, Max. gas level (for toxic gas) or Min. gas level (for O2 only), confidence
beep status (on or off), zero calibration information, and data reset information.
STEL Level
TWA Level Max or Min Level that has been detected
Confidence Beep – ON Confidence Beep – OFF
Zero Calibration Data Reset
3.4 Confidence Beep
Only when the user is turning on the RECON-IS, can the confidence beep setting be changed. Follow these steps to change the
setting:
1. With the RECON-IS off.
2. Press and Hold the button during the turn on period continue to press the button until the unit coun ts down 3, 2, 1 continue to
hold the button until the screen displays “H oP”(ON) or “H CL”(OFF) release the button. The status of the confidence beep is
now changed.
Note: With the confidence beep turned on, the buzzer sounds once every 2 minutes, which indicates the detector is working
normally. If the confidence beep is turned off, there is no such indication when the detector is working normally.
3.5 Zero Calibration
In the clean air, if the test result is not accurate, please proceed to the zero calibration in the clean air.
The procedures are as follows:
During the information checking, when the screen displays “ZoF”, press and release the button quickly.
If the operation is successful, the buzzer gives sound once.
The zero calibration range is ±5% F. S.
3.6 Data Reset: Clear recorded STEL, TWA and Max/Min Levels
During the information checking, when the screen displays “rES”, press and release the button quickly.
If the operation is successful, the buzzer gives sound once. And the STEL value, TWA value, Max. Gas level (for toxic gas) or
Min. gas level (for O2) will be reset.

RECON-IS ENMET
3.8 Calibration
In order to assure the testing accuracy, ENMET suggests that the RECON-IS be calibrated at a minimum of every 180 days.
The calibration procedures are as follows:
1. In clean air, press the button till the detector is turn ed off,
keep pressing the button, the detector will turn on again, the
screen displays time count-down of 3 second.
2. When the screen displays “CAL”, release the button and the
detector enters calibration status.
3. The detector will first calibrate the zero point. Please connect
the detector to the gas bottle and input high-pure N2 into the
detector at the speed of 120ml/min. Or put the detector in the
clean air and it will calibrate zero.
Not used for Oxygen
4. When the screen displays flashing calibration points, connect
the cylinder regulator, calibration gas and sensor cover to the
instrument. In 30 seconds display will indicate numbers
Example 1476 and continue to change until the sensor response
stabilizes If no gas input within 30s, the system treats the
calibration as failed.
5. If the standard gas is input normally, the detector will adjust
once every 3 seconds till the system is steady and the
calibration is finished. If calibration succeeded, the screen
displays “S” and returns to self-test, see section 3.1.
Remove the calibration gas Press & Hold the button until the
instrument turns off.
6. If calibration failed, the screen displays “F C” for 30 second.
During this period, the user can press the button to repeat the
calibration.
7. During the 30 seconds of “F C” flashing, if no operation, the
calibration failed. The screen will display “F” and the detector
turns off automatically.

6.0 Maintenance
In order for the RECON-IS to operate normally, please follow these maintenance procedures:
Inspect, test and calibrate the RECON-IS periodically. ENMET suggests that the RECON-IS be calibrated at a minimum of
every 180 days.
Keep a record of all the maintenance, calibration and alarms. After extended use, if there is dust on the cover of the detector,
clean it by using a clean soft cloth. Do not use an impregnated, soap and polishing reagent for cleaning. When clearing the gas
sensing hole, please use dry downy cloth or soft brush.
Please do not put the detector in any type liquid.
Changing the parts may be harmful to the inner safety of detector.
Do not use other sensor for your RECON-IS. Only use ENMET 02542- Series Sensor. See Section 5.1.
Only assigned model lithium battery 3V DC, 1300 mAh Panasonic CR123A allowed.
The RECON-IS is powered with a lithium battery do not discard with general waste. Dispose of battery per local
codes only
Unauthorized removal, adjustment or repair of the RECON-IS will influence the performance of the device and the
explosion-proof.
