Operating Precautions This instrument is a gas detector that detects combustible gases in the air and triggers a gas alarm. The gas detector is a safety unit, not an analyzer or densitometer which performs quantitative/qualitative analysis/measurement for gases. Please fully understand the following points before using it, so that it can be used properly. This detector may be interfered by gases and vapors other than the gas to be detected.
Outline of the Product 1-1. Preface Thank you for choosing the SD-1GH. Please check that the model number of the product you purchased is included in this manual’s specifications. This manual explains how to use the detector. It contains information required for using the detector properly.
Please refer to the Declaration of Conformity at the end of this manual if you have CE marking type. You can confirm detector specification on the name plate as follows. Ex marking TIIS certificate CE marking ATEX/IECEx, CE marking type name plate TIIS type name plate SD-1GH - 5 -...

Perform regular maintenance. Since this is a safety unit, regular maintenance must be performed to ensure safety. Continuing to use the detector without performing maintenance will deteriorate the sensitivity of the sensor, thus resulting in inaccurate gas detection. SD-1GH - 7 -...
2-4. Safety Information Necessary information for explosion proof construction of Model SD-1GH. The Model SD-1GH is a fixed-mount, continuous-monitoring detector head and provides a 4-20mA signal proportional to the target gas reading for use by a gas monitoring controller, recording device, or programmable controller.
