  • Page 4: What Is The Gastrainer

    GASTRAINER SYSTEM ™ 1. WHAT IS THE GASTRAINER ™ The GasTrainer was developed to safely simulate situations in which the use of a four-gas meter would be required. The GasTrainer can simulate gas leaks/clouds without the hazards of using potentially lethal gases. Instead, electronic transmitters (GasSource emitters) are positioned and used to simulate a gas leak.

  • Page 5: Precautions And Safety Instructions

    2. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING The GasTrainer system is a simulation training system. The system ™ CAN NOT be used as a real gas meter. The GasTrainer does not detect actual gas, it detects simulated gas readings in the form of ultrasonic signals. DO NOT use the system in an environment in which you suspect that there may actually be a potentially explosive mix of gases! •...
