Install Two “D” Cell Alkaline Batteries WARNING To prevent ignition of a hazardous atmosphere, batteries must only be changed in an area known to be non-hazardous (i.e., free of combustible gas). CA UT ION Use only Duracell® MN1300 “D” size batteries to maintain intrinsically safe approval. 1. Remove the battery cover by releasing the latch and sliding the cover down and off the handle. You may need a small flat-blade screwdriver to assist with releasing the latch. 2.
Using GAS-Mate 1. Long press the Power button to turn GAS-Mate On or Off. NOTE: GAS-Mate should be turned on in clean air free of combustible gas. 2. Wait for GAS-Mate to warm up, about 30 seconds up to two minutes. NOTE: GAS-Mate will alarm during warm-up and the highest leak indicator will illuminate. When warm-up is complete, GAS-Mate will beep steadily. 3. If needed, adjust sensitivity by swiping up or down on the touch pad. The leak indicators will illuminate to indicate the sensitivity level.
How to Change the Sensor The sensor comes installed in the tip of the GAS-Mate probe. You only need to insert/remove the sensor when it is time to replace it. NOTE: If all leak indicators flash and a steady alarm occurs, the sensor is bad or not installed properly. Ensure the sensor is installed properly or install a new sensor if this occurs. 1.
