Certified according to the Canadian Electrical Code for use in Class I, Division 1 Hazardous Locations within an
ambient temperature range of -40°C to 40°C for the alkaline battery pack and -40°C to 55°C for the li-ion battery
pack. CSA No. 152 certification applies when the instrument is calibrated to 50% LEL CH4, and for a temperature
range of 0°C to 40°C. CAUTION: Before each day's usage, sensitivity must be tested on a known concentration
of pentane or methane equivalent to 25%-50% of full scale concentration. Accuracy must be within -0% to +20%
of actual concentration. Accuracy may be corrected by referring to the zero/calibration section of the instruction
manual.

ARNINGS AND
IMPORTANT: Failure to perform certain procedures or note certain conditions
may impair the performance of this product. For maximum safety and optimal
performance, please read and follow the procedures and conditions listed below.
IMPORTANT: Read and understand this manual before operating.
IMPORTANT: The instrument must be charged before its first use.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn off the instrument before (1) servicing
the unit or (2) replacing the battery.
IMPORTANT: Battery contacts are exposed on battery packs when
they are removed from the instrument. Do not touch the battery
contacts and do not stack battery packs on top of each other.
Warning: Explosion hazard. Only replace batteries in nonhazardous
locations. Alkaline battery pack is only approved for use with Duracell
MN 1500 or Rayovac LR6 batteries. Do not mix batteries from
different manufacturers. Replace all batteries at the same time. Do
not store instruments with alkaline batteries installed.
Prior to each day's use, a bump test should be performed. If the
instrument does not pass the bump test, a full calibration is
