COMBUSTIBLE GAS DETECTOR
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing this Combustible Gas
Detector. Read though the instruction manual before
operation for correct and safe usage. Please store and
retain this instruction manual for future reference.
2. FEATURES
This Combustible Gas Detector is extremely useful as a
general purpose tool in any environment where
propane, methane, natural gas, gasoline and fuel oil is
used. This unit uses a newly developed semi-conductor
sensor which is extremely sensitive to variety of general
use combustible gases.

4. OPERATION GUIDE
(1) This combustible gas detector unit is NOT designed
for anti-explosive measures. Do not use this unit in an
area where combustible gases can be found.
(2) The following environmental conditions may cause
error in the readings:
Large temperature variations
High wind velocity
Organic solvents, adhesive vapors, fuel gas and
vesicants. Try to avoid environments filled with
these substances.
Places filled with too much combustible gas
Note: Although this unit will respond to high levels of
carbon monoxide, it should NOT be used as a detector
for this gas in normal room or working atmospheres. It
is used to pinpoint a leak as described in the operating
instruction.
