WARNING
Read and understand this instruction manual
before operating instrument. Improper use of the
gas monitor could result in bodily harm or death.
Periodic calibration and maintenance of the gas
monitor is essential for proper operation and correct readings. Please calibrate and maintain this
instrument regularly! Frequency of calibration
depends upon the type of use you have and the
sensor types. Typical calibration frequencies for
most applications are between 1 and 3 months,
but can be required more often or less often
based on your usage.

Introduction
Using an advanced microprocessor controlled detection system, the 03
Series Personal Si ngle Channel Gas M onitor detect s the presence of either
carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), or oxygen (O2). The 03
Series’ compact size and easy-to-use design make it ideally suited for a
wide range of applications, including sewage treatment plants, tunnels,
hazardous waste sites, petrochemical facilities, oil fields, mines, and
chemical plants. The 03 Series is even small enough to be placed
conveniently in a pocket. The 03 Series offers the fo llowing features:
• Compact design
• Fast, accurate response with backlit digital liquid crystal display (LCD)
• Visual, audible, an d vibration alarms
• Microprocessor control for reliability, ease of use, and advanced
• Resistance to RF (radio frequency) interference
capabilities
• Datalogging including interval trend data and alarm trend data
• Peak, STEL, and TWA indication for CO-03 & HS-03
• Minimum and maximum indication for OX-03
• Over range alarm
• Gas, battery, sensor failure, and system failure alarms
• Over 3,000 hours operation on one set of alkaline batteries
• Rotatable alligator clip for “hands free” gas monitoring, belt clip optional
• CSA certification for intrinsic safety in Class I, Division I, Groups A, B,
C, and D hazardous atmospheres pending
WARNING: The 03 Series detects oxygen deficiency and elevated
levels of oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen
sulfide, all of which can be dangerous or life thre at eni ng.
When using the 03 Series, you must follow the
instructions and warnings in this manual to assure
proper and safe operation of the unit and to minimize the
risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and
periodically calibrate the 03 Series as described in this
manual.

The 03 Series’ sturdy, high-impact plastic case is bl ue and consists of a
front and rear cas e. The case is suitable for use in many environmental
conditions, indoors and out. The unit is dust proof and weather resistant.
The front case has an LCD (liquid crystal display) that shows various
indications. Below the LCD are two bl ack contro l butto ns. The lef t butt on is
labeled “AIR” and the right button is labeled “POWER MODE”.
The buzzer opening is located in the top lef t corner of the fron t case. To the
right of the buzzer is the diffusion port for the sensor.
The alarm LED lens is located at the top of the front case.
The battery compartment is located in the rear case. Access to the
compartment is accomplished by turning the captive battery cover screw
counterclockwise and by removing the battery cover.
There are two spri ng bars on the r ear case. On e is on t he le ft an d one i s on

watch band and are used to mount the alligator clip or optional belt clip.
A feature in the lower left corner of the rear case is used to install the
optional wrist strap.
03 Series Operator’s Manual Description • 4
Sensor Gasket, Sensor Membrane, and Charcoal Filter
The sensor membrane is a paper-like filter disk that is held in place by the
sensor gasket and fits into a recessed area on the inside of the front case.
The sensor membrane covers the diffusion port and protects the sensor
from dirt and moisture. The sensor membrane should be inspected
periodically and replaced if contaminated by dirt or moisture. See
“Replacing the Sensor Membrane and Charcoal Filter” on page 68 for
sensor membrane replacement instructions.
The CO-03 includes a charcoal filter disk which is located in the sensor
gasket. The charcoal filter disk removes gases from the sampled air that
will cause a response on the CO sensor such as H2S and certain
hydrocarbons. If false or elevated CO readings are noticed, especially in
the presence of H2S, change the charcoal filter disk. See “Replacing the
Sensor Membrane and Charcoal Filter” on page 68 for replacement
instructions.
Sensor
The 03 Series uses either an oxygen, CO, or H2S sensor. The sensor is
protected by the white sensor membrane which is held in place by the
sensor gasket. The sensor membrane allows ambient air to diffuse past it
to the sensor. The three sensors used in the three 03 Series models use
different detection principles as described below.
Oxygen Sensor
The oxygen sensor is a galvanic type of sensor. A membrane covers the
cell and allows gas to diffuse i nto the cell at a rate proportion al to the par tial
pressure of oxygen. The oxygen react s in the cell and prod uce s a volta ge
proportion al to the concentration of oxygen. The voltage is measured by
the 03 Series’ circuitry, converted to a measurement of gas concentration,
and displayed on the LCD.
CO and H
The CO and H
S Sensors
2
S sensors are electrochemical sensors that consist of two
2
precious metal electrodes in an acid electrolyte. A gas permeable
membrane covers the sensor face and allows gas to diffuse into the
electrolyte. The gas reacts in the sensor and produces a current
proportional to the concentration of the target gas. The current is amplified
by the 03 Series’ circuitry, converted to a measurement of gas
concentration, and displayed on the LCD.
LCD
The LCD is visible through the front case. When the 03 Series is in
Measuring Mode, the target gas concentration, battery condition, and
alarm indications are displayed on the LCD. Various other items are
5 • D e s c r i p t i o n 03 Series Operator’s Manual
displayed when th e LCD is in other modes, such as Calibration Mode.
When either of the two control buttons are pressed, the LCD backlight
comes on for 20 seconds.
Control Buttons
Below the LCD are two control buttons: POWER MODE and AIR. The
POWER MODE button turns the 03 Series on and off. The functions
performed by the control buttons are summarized in the following table:

Alarm LED
The 03 Series ha s one red alar m LE D. It al ert s you to g as, low bat tery, and
sensor failure alarm s. The ala rm LED is lo cated at the top of th e fron t case
beneath a clear plastic lens.
Buzzer
A solid-state ele ctronic buzzer is mounted inside the 03 Seri es. An openin g
in the top left co rner of the fr ont case allows the buzzer’s sound to ema nate
from the case. The buzzer sounds for gas alarms, unit malfunctions, and
the dead battery alarm. It also serves as an indicator during normal use of
the various LCD display options.
Vibrator
A vibrating motor (vibrator) is mounted inside the 03 Series. The vibrator
vibrates momentarily during the power-up sequence and for gas alarms.
03 Series Operator’s Manual Description • 6
IrDA Port
An infrared (IR) communications port is located just to the left of the alarm
LED at the top of the front case beneath the clear lens. The data
transmitted through the port is in standard IrDA protocol. A computer’s
infrared port or an IrDA/USB cable connected to a computer’s USB port
can be used to download data saved by the 03 Series to a computer using
the 03 Series Data Logger Management Program. See the 03 Series Data
Logger Manage ment Program operator’s manual for data logging and
downloading instructions.
Printed Circuit Board
The primary function of the 03 Ser ies’ pri nted circui t board is to am plify the
signal sent to it from the sensor, convert the signal to a meaningful
measurement of gas concentration, display the gas concentration on the
LCD, store STEL, TWA, and peak gas readings, and activate the alarm
circuit if an alarm poin t has been reached. It monitors battery le vel , ba tte ry
failure, and se nsor failure. It also controls various operating modes of the
unit.
NOTE: The printed circuit board contains no user serviceable parts.
Batteries
Two AAA-size alkaline batteries run the 03 Series. At 25°C the alkaline
batteries last at least 3,000 hours. The battery icon on the LCD shows
remaining batter y lif e .
When the 03 Series detects low battery voltage, a low battery warning is
activated. When battery voltage is too low for normal operation, the 03
Series sounds a dead battery alarm.
The alkaline batteries can be replaced by removing the battery cover on
the rear case. Turn the captive battery cover screw counterclockwise to
release the door. See “Replacing the Batteries” on page 64 for detailed
battery changing instructions.
WARNING: To prevent ignition of a hazardous atmosphere, batteries
must only be changed in an area known to be
nonhazardous.
