Getting Started
Battery Change
Warning:
For reasons of intrinsic safety, batteries MUST NOT be changed within potentially flammable areas. Always ensure you are in a safe
area before carrying out any type of maintenance on your GasClam
Battery types that can be used:
For Intrinsic Safety and reduced risk of explosion you must only use Duracell 1.5 V LR20 Alkaline-Manganese
MN1300 batteries or a 2 x 1,2V LR20 Nickel-metal hydride Saft VH D 9500 rechargeable pack.
Do not mix old and new
batteries within the same unit, change both batteries at the same time. Failure to do so will reduce battery
life of the new cell fitted.
The battery compartment is accessed by removing the 4 screws from the battery compartment lid, see diagram. To remove the
batteries tilt the GasClam until they fall out. Replace with the stipulated batteries positive terminal facing down. Take care when
replacing the cover to ensure the O-ring is not damaged by following the instructions below:
The integrity of this O-ring should be
checked every time the batteries are
replaced. This needs to be replaced if any
damage is noticed.
When tightening the cover alternate between
screws to ensure the cover sits on the
GasClam squarely. If this is not done the O-
ring may be damaged.
Push the battery compartment lid down square on the
GasClam
When the O-ring is resting on the battery compartment
push the lid down evenly on both sides to ensure it
travels down square. This will prevent damage to the
O-ring. When the O-ring is sitting in the compartment
loosely tighten the screws.
