Preface Thank you for choosing our high sensitivity toxic gas monitor FP-300AGZS. Please read and understand this operating manual thoroughly before use to operate the gas monitor properly. Note that the contents of this manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement. Also, any copying or reproduction of this manual, in whole or in part, without permission is prohibited.
The rate of change in produced color (optical reflectance change) before and after a gas contact is detected and converted into gas concentration. The gas monitor is little affected by interference gases like alcohol and hydrogen gas under its detection principle. FP-300AGZS - 4 -...
It may cause the gas monitor to fall or topple during use, posing a risk of injury or damage to the gas monitor. WARNING Connection of grounding wire Connect the grounding wire to the grounding terminal to avoid a risk of electric shock. Ignoring this may cause electric shock. FP-300AGZS - 5 -...

Using the gas monitor in such condition cannot provide correct detection. It may also result in failure. When the gas monitor is relocated, leave it in a new installation site for a few hours to adjust it to the ambient temperature. FP-300AGZS - 14 -...
(4) Attach the provided filter to GAS IN before connecting a tube. CAUTION For adsorptive gases, the appropriate tube length varies depending on the degree of adsorption. For more information about adsorptive property of gases and tube length, please contact RIKEN KEIKI. FP-300AGZS - 15 -...
[5] Power input ............100 - 240 VAC Each alarm contact is rated at 125 VAC 0.5 A. Depending on the load to be connected, a protective part like spark killer may be required to maintain the performance. FP-300AGZS - 16 -...
Gas detection cannot be performed with a detection tape of inappropriate model. The appropriate model of detection tape is displayed on LCD while the cassette tray is opened. CAUTION Check the display on the gas monitor every day to replace the gas detection tape cassette without fail. FP-300AGZS - 17 -...

The detection tape may be cut. In principle, the tape winding part should not be turned. CAUTION When opening the package, slight discoloration may be seen depending on the detection tape type, storage condition, etc., however, it does not affect the gas sensitivity. FP-300AGZS - 18 -...
Therefore, after opening the package, use it as soon as possible. 3-4-3. Returning gas detection tape cassette Please return the used tape with case to us. We dispose it properly at our end. FP-300AGZS - 19 -...
Use the power supply away from devices consuming large amount of power such as large-scale motor. Avoid overloading electrical outlet. Avoid damage on the power cable. Also, do not bend, stretch or apply excessive force on the power cable. FP-300AGZS - 20 -...
CAUTION If the auto-adjustment cannot be performed (due to tube clogging, leak, etc.), the message indicating dropped flow rate "FAIL=FLOW" will be displayed. In this case, identify the cause and take appropriate actions. FP-300AGZS - 21 -...

5-1-1. Display format The LCD display uses the following format. (1) Displays a gas name in chemical formula, etc......Example) C5F8 (2) Displays a gas concentration............ Displayed in ppm. (3) Displays remaining days for detection tape. FP-300AGZS - 24 -...
The detection result (average value) from the previous detection cycle is output for the gas concentration display. See the following chart that indicates the timing of concentration display for gas concentration varying with time. Gas concentration variation Measurement cycle Concentration conversion Elapsed time Gas concentration display FP-300AGZS - 25 -...
For 4 - 20 mA output, concentration indication is performed at the end of a measurement cycle. Therefore, the alarm level output lags behind the alarm triggered from alarm contact output.
