OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before turning on the detector, move to an area where the air is clear of all combustible gases, smoke, perfume, alcohol and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). If you activate the unit where any of these substances is present, the instrument will automatically calibrate to a non-zero gas concentration baseline. This will produce inaccurate (and potentially dangerous) readings and foster a false sense of security.
To activate the PNG2000A, move the power switch (Fig. 1, Callout 5) to the ON position. The instrument will immediately sound a brief, rapid sequence of five tones and begin a 15-second warmup period. During this period, the three front-panel LEDs will flash rapidly and repeatedly in order from bottom to top.
The warmup period ends when the detector sounds two loud descending tones. To signal that the instrument is ready to detect gas, the green LED flashes about once every 7 seconds, accompanied by two muted ascending tones.

The following table explains the meaning of all possible combinations of visual and audible indications.
Detected Visual Audible condition indication indication
Ready to sense gas Green LED Two ascending
flashes every tones every 2 seconds 7 seconds
High gas concentration: Red and yellow Five ascending above (50±10)% LEL LEDs on tones
twice/second
Low gas concentration: Yellow LED on Two tones at between (20±5)% LEL same pitch and (50±10)% LEL twice/second
Low battery charge: None Three descending <2.7VDC tones every
30 to 75 seconds; interval depends on charge level
Sensor fault Yellow LED on One tone every
1.5 seconds
Change the batteries immediately upon hearing the audible indication for Low Battery Charge in the table. To avoid draining the batteries, reset the power switch to OFF following each use.
