TQ Environmental Limited SAFETY WARNINGS THE GD233 CARBON DIOXIDE SENSOR MUST ONLY BE USED IN AREAS WHERE POTENTIALLY FLAMMABLE GASES ARE NOT PRESENT. FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE GD233 SENSOR MUST BE INSTALLED, OPERATED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THE GD233 SENSOR.
The GD233 CO Sensor is a sensitive instrument and as such should be stored properly when not in use. The GD233 CO Sensor contains static sensitive devices and should not be stored in an area of high static electrical charge. The environment it is stored in should not involve direct sunlight and be dust free.
The sensor should be sited in a position out of direct sunlight and in an area not subject to washing with jets of water. To ensure continued reliable operation of the GD233 CO Sensor, the following installation guidelines should be observed: CAUTION The calibration of the sensor may be affected by excessive direct sunlight.

The zero point (0ppm CO ) will have been established in the factory using nitrogen or CO free air. In its intended application the GD233 CO Sensor may have its zero point set using air thus eliminating any offset due to the natural presence of CO in the atmosphere.
The sensor unit may require corrective maintenance if the output current is at a maximum level, even if no combustible gas is present. Refer the unit to TQ Environmental PLC for service. If the unit ever becomes defective then it is necessary to refer the unit to a local TQ representative or contact TQ directly.
