Start of Operation Instrument Power-On Instrument Power-On Press Power key for 3 seconds, and power is turned on displaying 3, 2, and 1 in order on the monitor. (Power won’t turned on, if pressing the Power key is stopped before 3 seconds) Afterwards during the instrument is being stabilized, it displays consecutively A1 &...
Operation Method Detection Mode The instrument is converted to Gas Measure Mode as below, when power is turned on. Gas Measure Mode indicates the concentration of gas and the remained capacity of battery on LCD, and it displays the gas concentration of Oxygen by %, Inflammable Gas by %LEL, H2S and CO t ti b % I fl...
Calibration Calibration Caution: Senko Co., Ltd. performs the initial calibration before the shipment. Incorrectly calibrated value can reduce the accuracy of the product, as the calibrated value is stored in the instrument. Calibration is in general to be performed monthly or quarterly, and can be adjusted according to frequency of the use.

Caution: Fresh Gas Calibration should be performed at the environment of fresh air without any influence of other gases since the calibration is performed on the assumption that the influence of other gases, since the calibration is performed on the assumption that the concentration of Oxygen is 20.9%, that of Inflammable Gas is 0%LEL, and the concentration of Toxic Gas is 0ppm in the fresh air.

Method of Calibration The method of Standard Gas is as below. The program enters to %LEL Calibration Mode blinking the numbers, when Power key is pressed at %LEL Standard Gas Calibration Mode. In case that the inflammable gas that conforms to %LEL concentration input initially at the instrument is used, calibration is executed indicating the concentration value connected at the moment by pressing Power key twice.
When STEL / TWA alarm occurs, the icon can be deleted only by Power Off. Note: It is available to set the different alarm sound of each gas respectively by requirement of the user. Please consult Senko Co., Ltd. for further detailed information.

Primary battery alarm sounds repeatedly at 5 minute intervals when only a bar of battery icon is remained. Secondary battery alarm starts right before the end of power, and the power source finishes after 10 seconds from the outbreak of alarm. In the event of failure of test or calibration, the icon of Test Failure is displayed with the sound of alarm.
