Page 12: Power Off & Battery Charging
POWER OFF & BATTERY CHARGING POWER OFF To power off the SENSIT GOLD G3 , ensure you are in a gas free environment, and then press and hold the button until the power off screen is shown. The instrument will purge for 10 seconds (by default) and then power off. -
Page 13: Calibration/Bump Testing
The operator also has the option to manually calibrate/bump test the instrument by attaching bottles of gas, through the manual calibration or bump test menu. For more information on the SMART-CAL 360, contact SENSIT Technologies. The SMART-CAL menu is used to put the... -
Page 14: Autocal
AUTOCAL The AUTOCAL process in the is a semi-automated calibration process for all SENSIT GOLD G3 sensors currently installed in the instrument. The instrument will prompt when each gas and the specific concentration is to be applied. TO PERFORM AN AUTOCAL: Allow the instrument to warm-up for 5 minutes. -
Page 15: Manual Calibration
MANUAL CALIBRATION gives the operator the option to manually calibrate each sensor type SENSIT GOLD G3 individually. This is a more manual process than the AUTOCAL option, but can be useful if you only need to calibrate one sensor, or if you are attempting a re-calibration of a sensor after a failureand do not want to re-calibrate every sensor. -
Page 16: Manual Calibration: Hydrogen Cyanide (Hcn) 10 Ppm
5. Attach 100 PPM CO calibration gas to the end of the gooseneck and then press and release button to start the calibration. 6. Wait for either a PASSED or FAILED result to be shown. a. If PASSED is shown, the calibration was successful, and the calibration due date will be updated for that sensor. -
Page 17: Manual Calibration: Methane Tc 100 %Vol
If PASSED is shown, the calibration was successful, and the calibration due date will be updated for that sensor. Remove the calibration gas. If FAILED is shown, leave the calibration gas attached and attempt calibration again. If successful calibration cannot be achieved, remove the instrument from service and contact the factory for assistance. -
Page 18: Quick Menu Test Modes
QUICK MENU TEST MODES Depending on what type work the is being used for, there are a variety of test SENSIT GOLD G3 modes available that are designed to be used for specific tasks. For example, using BARHOLE mode for below-grade leak investigation. -
Page 19: Bar Hole Test
BAR HOLE MODE is a default feature in the when equipped with the TC sensor SENSIT GOLD G3 (%VOL sensor). It is intended for use when conducting a below grade leak investigation, generally in a hole bored in the ground with a plunger bar or drill. It gives the operator a separate screen from the work display that shows only the combustible gas reading in the %VOL scale (both real time and peak reading). -
Page 20: Co Test
: Carbon monoxide (CO) sensor equipped CO TEST in the SENSIT GOLD G3 is an optional feature when equipped with a carbon monoxide (CO) sensor. It is a timed test (180sec. by default) that shows the operator only the real time and peak CO readings on a separate screen from the work display. -
Page 21: Purge Test
PURGE TEST is a default feature in the when equipped with the TC sensor (%VOL SENSIT GOLD G3 sensor). It is intended for use when purging lines into service with fuel (e.g. natural gas, propane).. It gives the operator a separate screen from the work display that shows only the combustible gas reading in the %VOL scale, as well as the oxygen (O2) reading, if equipped. -
Page 22: Leak Search Mode
LEAK SEARCH mode is an optional feature in the intended for use in combustible SENSIT GOLD G3 gas leak investigations or surveys that require the PPM scale. It gives the operator a separate screen from the normal work display that shows only the combustible gas reading. This reading starts in the PPM scale, which allows for a higher resolution to be shown on-screen than would normally be available. -
Page 23: Standby Mode
PURPOSE do not want to fully power it off and back on again. SENSIT GOLD G3 has an optional “standby” mode that allows the operator to put the instrument in a low power state. This can be used if you don’t need to use the instrument for a short amount of time and want to save some battery life and time, instead of fully powering the instrument off and back on again. -
Page 24: Inert Mode
INERT MODE in the is an optional feature that requires the instrument to be SENSIT GOLD G3 equipped with an Oxygen (O2) sensor. It is intended for use when purging lines out of service with an inert gas only and requires the inert dilution tube assembly. It gives the operator a separate screen from the work display that shows only the combustible gas reading and the oxygen (O2) reading. -
Page 25: User Menu
USER MENU SENSIT GOLD G3 has a user-accessible menu that is used for user-level tasks such as changing the combustible gas type, performing a manual calibration, viewing logs, etc. There is a detailed section for each in the following pages, as well as any applicable instructions for using these options. -
Page 26: Set Date
The SET DATE option allows the user to adjust the clock date saved in the ’s internal SENSIT GOLD G3 memory. The internal RTC (real time clock) normally keeps this date very accurate, but it may need to be adjusted occasionally over a long period of time. Additionally, there are two ways in which the clock... -
Page 27: Time Zone
The TIME ZONE option allows the user to adjust the clock time zone saved in the ’s SENSIT GOLD G3 internal memory. The time zone is an offset from GMT/UTC+0. This may only need to be set once, and can be done at the factory per the instrument setup, but may need to be adjusted if: (1) an instrument moves to a new location that is in another time zone, or (2) an instrument is being used in an area that observes daylight savings. -

Page 33: Barhole Purge Threshold
After a BAR HOLE TEST is performed using the , a built-in purge option lets the user SENSIT GOLD G3 automatically purge the instrument of gas before another test is done. By default, this purge requires that the real time reading on-screen reaches 0.0%VOL to be successful before another BAR HOLE TEST can be performed. -

Do you have a question about the GOLD G3 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
What is the reaction time of the sensors on the tip of the wand? I know sensors on other monitors can take a couple of seconds depending on the type of sensor.
The sensors on the SENSIT GOLD G3 wand have an extremely fast, near-instantaneous reaction time because there is essentially no travel time for the gas sample. As soon as the gas is drawn in by the pump, it immediately reaches the sensor.
