1. THE DETECTOR TUBE CONTAINS CHEMICAL REAGENTS.
2. DO NOT TOUCH THESE REAGENTS DIRECTLY ONCE TUBES WERE BROKEN.
3. KEEP THE TUBES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
NOTICE
1. USE ONLY WITH PUMP MODELS AP-20, AP-20S, 400B, AP-1, AP-1S or 400A.
OTHERWISE, CONSIDERABLE ERROR IN INDICATION MAY OCCUR.
2. BEFORE TESTING, CHECK THE ASPIRATING PUMP FOR LEAKS. ( REFER TO ITEM 8.
INSPECTION OF ASPIRATING PUMP. ) ANY PUMPS SHOWING SIGNS OF LEAKAGE
SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE USE.
3. DO NOT USE THIS TUBE OUTSIDE THE STATED OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE.
4. STORE TUBES IN A COOL AND DARK PLACE ( 0-25 ℃ /32-77°F ) , AND USE BEFORE
EXPIRATION DATE PRINTED ON THE TOP OF THE BOX.
5. PRIOR TO USE, READ CAREFULLY ITEM 9. USER RESPONSIBILITY.
6. READ THE CONCENTRATION IMMEDIATELY AFTER MEASUREMENT.
7. THE SCALE IS CALIBRATED WITH o-XYLENE.
2. SAMPLING AND MEASUREMENT:
① Break both ends of the detector tube.
CAUTION
② Insert the detector tube into the aspirating pump securely as shown in Fig.1. ( Arrow mark shall point to
the pump. )
③ Align the guide marks on the shaft and stopper of the aspirating pump.
④ Pull the pump handle at a full stroke until it locks and wait for 2 minutes or until the completion of
sampling is confirmed with the flow indicator of the pump. ( See descriptions about the flow indicator
in the instruction manual of the pump. )
⑤ Push back the handle without removing the detector tube from the rubber tube connector so that air in the pump
will be discharged perfectly. Then repeat the steps ③ ~④ once more.
⑥ On completion of sampling, read the scale at the maximum point of the stained layer.
SPECIAL NOTE:
3. CORRECTION FOR AMBIENT CONDITIONS:
① Temperature; Correct the tube reading by following temperature correction table.

Example 2 : When the tube reading is 500ppm at 7 ℃ , the true concentration is 757 ppm which is found by
proportional allotment of each concentration and temperature as shown below.

SAFETY GLASSES AND GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN TO PREVENT INJURY
FROM SPLINTERING GLASS.
Ⅰ . The scale is calibrated at 20 ℃ (68°F), 50 %R.H. and 1013hPa. Readings
obtained in other circumstances should be corrected. (REFER TO ITEM 3.
CORRECTION FOR AMBIENT CONDITIONS.)
Ⅱ . When the maximum point of the stained layer is unclear or oblique, read the
scale at the centre between the longest and shortest points.
