DANGER
While conducting measurement in a manhole or confined space, do not lean over or look into the manhole or
closed space. It may lead to dangers because oxygen-deficient air or other gases may blow out.

WARNING
x Do not block the buzzer sound hole. No alarm sound can be heard.
x If an oxygen deficiency or toxic gas (CO or H2S) alarm occurs, evacuate the area.
After taking safety precautions, take appropriate actions such as introducing fresh air and sealing the
generation source.
x Do not connect the sampling tube directly to a location with a pressure higher than the atmospheric
pressure. The internal piping system may be damaged.
x If a low battery alarm occurs, gas detection cannot be conducted. If the alarm occurs during use, turn
off the power and promptly recharge the batteries in a non-hazardous area.

CAUTION
x Do not measure anything but air, combustible gases, or a mixture of vapors and toxic gases.
x Do not place the gas monitor where water or dirt gets accumulated. The gas monitor placed at such a
location may malfunction due to water or dirt that gets into the buzzer opening, gas inlet, etc.
x The gas inlet and outlet of the gas monitor are not water-proof. Be careful not to let water get into
these parts.
x Do not draw in rainwater or other water. Because this may cause trouble and gas cannot be detected.
x Do not drop or give shock to the gas monitor. The water-proof and explosion-proof properties and
accuracy may be deteriorated.
x In a low-temperature environment, the operating time is shortened due to the battery performance property.
x When using this gas monitor in a hazardous area, take the following countermeasures for preventing
dangers resulting from electrostatic charges.

WARNING
No gas alarm is triggered if No ALARM display is shown in the combustible gas vol% display, etc.

No ALARM display

CAUTION
The gas monitor can detect gases even after the due date for equipment readjustment elapses.
However, readjust the equipment and use it in normal operation status unless it is unavoidable.
The gas monitor can detect gases if at least one of the sensors is normal while other sensors are in
"Sensor failed" status. However, repair the equipment and use it in normal operation status unless it is
unavoidable.

3-2. User actions for gas concentration alarms

Leakage of and exposure to spurting gases reaches a dangerous level in a short time. When an alarm is
triggered, evacuate the area immediately.
After taking safety precautions, take appropriate actions.

WARNING
If an oxygen or toxic gas (CO or H2S) alarm occurs, evacuate the area. Oxygen-deficient air or other
gases may blow out there, leading to dangers.

3-3. STEL alarm (short term exposure limit)

A STEL alarm warns of a concentration limit of toxic substances to which everyday exposure of workers for
15 continuous minutes lower than TWA does not have harmful effects on their health.
An alarm is triggered as soon as the one-minute gas concentration average value exceeds the alarm
setpoint for hydrogen sulfide or carbon monoxide while measurement is taken every 15 minutes.

3-4. TWA alarm (time-weighted average limit)

A TWA alarm warns of a time-weighted average concentration limit of toxic substances to which repeated
exposure of workers in average work time of eight hours a day or 40 hours a week does not have harmful
effects on the health of most of the workers.
The gas monitor totals a concentration every minute from power-on and triggers an alarm when the
integrated value exceeds the alarm setpoint for hydrogen sulfide or carbon monoxide.
