5. Asennus

5.1 Akun asennus

  1. Unscrew the end cap of the device to access the battery compartment.
  2. Insert the two included AAA Alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  3. Securely screw the end cap back onto the device.

  2. The device will initiate a 30-second warm-up sequence, indicated by a countdown timer on the LCD screen. During this time, ensure the device is in a fresh air environment for accurate self-calibration.
  3. Once the warm-up is complete, the device will beep, and the display will show '0%LEL' or a stable low reading, indicating it is ready for use.

6. Käyttöohjeet

6.1 Kaasuntunnistus

  1. With the device powered on and warmed up, slowly move the sensor head near the area where a gas leak is suspected.
  2. Pay close attention to gas pipelines, connections, valves, and gas appliance areas (e.g., gas stoves, water heaters, furnaces, RV connections).
