concentration of each gas type in the process of usage. TWA is the average
concentration, STEL is the largest concentration.

6.2.4 Zero Calibrate

11

If the zero drift of the sensor is larger, user can do the zero calibration,

this will make the default of target gas concentration as “0”.

Attention: zero calibration must be in the clean air.

6.2.5 Target Calibrate（Only professional engineer operation allowed）

OC-903 portable gas detector can make the six level target
concentration calibration for the detecting gas, as the picture shows, this
must with the standard concentration gas, pressure
relief valve, flow meter, calibration cap, and good

connection of gas, or will be prohibited.

Operation details: Connecting the device as the
picture, enter into the target gas calibration interface,
slowly turn on the calibrate gas and control the flow
rate within 500ml/min, observing the detector gas
concentration(now should be rising), when the value
up to the peak value and keep stable, then choose a
non-calibrated option(“√” means been calibrated,
“×” means non-calibrated): firstly input the calibrate
gas concentration, then press the “calibrate”. After completing the target
point calibration, the target gas concentration of detector will be the
calibrate gas concentration.

6.2.6 Alarming setting

OC-903 with two adjustable alarm threshold values, high alarming
value and low alarming value. When set the low alarming, gas
concentration lower than the set value will alarm; when set the high
alarming , gas concentration higher than the set value will alarm.

12

Operation details: user move the cursor to “Alarming mode”, press
“ok”, by “▲” or “▼” can change the alarming mode, after switch then
press “ok” will save the setting.

6.2.7 Detection storage

With this function user can set the detecting mode, storage mode, the
detecting mode including the real-time detecting and timing detecting,
storage mode including the manual save , automatic save and close(not
save).

If real-time detecting, the detector will display the real-time
concentration of each channel, then user can set the storage mode, also can
set the storage cycle. If timing detecting mode, will display the average
concentration is this period, can set the timing cycle and round cycle(time
between the twice timing detecting).

Setting the timing detection, need to back to the Detecting interface to
press the “Run/stop” key, turn on the countdown to begin timing detection,
if not turn on the round detecting, when the countdown over, the detector
will stop pump detecting automatically; if turn on the round detection, after
several seconds, it will begin the timing detecting again automatically.

6.2.8 Date
Setting the date related with the detecting gas concentration data.

6.2.9 Factory reset

initial configuration.

7.Remarks

◆Before use the detector, please read the instruction carefully.

◆Prohibit open the detector and replace the accessories privately.

◆Install ,setting must be operated by professional guidance.

◆Regularly check the device and change the sensor.

13

◆Prohibit drop from high space.

◆Under the high temperature or pressure is not allowed to use, if high

humidity, then need to add the device to decrease the humidity.

◆Human damage is not free repair.

◆Before enter into dangerous area, people need to be electrostatic

discharged, then bring the detector into the working place.

◆Using the special charger for this detector.

8.Common faults and treatments

◆ Value display not stable, up and down

Reason：some electrochemical sensor easily effected by other gas,

maybe is colorless and odorless.
Solution：Bring the detector into clean air, then the data will decrease to
normal value; If still not normal, then zero calibrate in clean air.

◆ Response weak

Reason：Lower level of oxygen：<5%VOL；

High pressure, pump not work；
The sensor useful life end, or other faults；
Solution：If the Electrochemical sensor, Catalytic combustion sensor,

Semiconductor sensor, need oxygen to work, so the level

of oxygen should more than 5%VOL，pressure range is：

-30Kpa ～ 100Kpa，If user have calibrate gas, can import

the gas to test and target point calibrate. If oxygen and

pressure both normal, then maybe other faults, need to

send back to manufacturer.

◆ After access the detecting gas, the data can’t stable for a long time, up

and down
Reason：Maybe the too low content of oxygen in the detecting gas, or

the change of the detecting gas.
Solution：Increasing the oxygen level and keep stable flow rate, or

14

change the higher oxygen calibrate gas.

◆ Pump weak, lack strength

Reason：Pump have suction many particle and gas, the entrance
blocked.
Solution：Send back to manufacturer to change a new pump, adding the

dust filter in the later usage.

◆ Turn on fails

Reason：No power.

Solution：After charge, if still can’t turn on it, then send back to

manufacturer.

◆ Charged fails

Reason ： Charger problems or wrong model charger
（Usually5-5.5VDC，1-2A）

Solution：Check the charger output voltage if is 5V,if not, then need to

change the charger, if is 5V, then need to send back to
manufacturer for testing.

9.Data logger

OC-903 with the data logger function, the charging port is the data

output port, the operation steps as the following:
1、Install the export software on the computer.
2、Turn on the detector, after the 60s preheating over, connected

with the computer.
3、After install the drive of communication line, open the software,

and confirm the computer COM port, then click the “Open

port”, now the lower left corner will display the “Port

Open ”(Baud rate default is 115200)
4、Enter into the history data menu interface, export the gas

concentration data, if complete will appear the cues.

15

5 、 On the software, set the detector address and channel

number(same with the “address setting” and “channel

setting” in the “Setting”), start time and deadline(The save

time of history data should be in this period range).
6、Click the “search” can find the above period gas concentration

for the according channel gas, the data also could be saved

as the EXCEL form by click the “Read Data”

Remark: Data transmission line is the USB connection line.
