Installation and Operation
Receiving the analyzer
When you receive the instrument, check the package for evidence of damage and if any is found, please
contact the shipper.
Charge the batteries:
Plug the wall adapter supplied into a suitable wall socket. The charger is a universal charger, and can be
plugged into any voltage between 100 and 240 VAC. Plug the power jack into the back of the analyzer, and
allow it to sit overnight for at least 14 hours. The internal charging circuit will not allow the batteries to be
overcharged. The batteries in the model 111 will last for about 8 hours of continuous operation. In the
111P, they will last the same length of time if you don’t use the pump; the pump will drain them in about an
hour if you use it continuously. The unit is able to operate while the batteries are being charged. The
maximum voltage the power input can accept is 13VDC. Anything higher than this will damage the unit.
Location:
The unit is designed to be used in a general-purpose area. It is not suitable for use in a hazardous area or
with hazardous (explosive or flammable) gases. It may be operated either off its internal batteries or else
off the charger, in which case it will simultaneously operate and recharge itself.
Although the unit is RFI protected, do not to mount it close to sources of electrical interference such as
large transformers, motor start contactors, relays etc. Also avoid subjecting it to significant vibration.
