6.7 Instrument main gas read screen
The ‘Main Gas Read Screen’ is considered to be the normal operating screen and all
operations are carried out from this starting point.
The actual data shown on this display will depend on the version of the instrument and the
options that have been selected.

You can also press key 2 and access a zoomed version of the main read screen, once you
have entered this mode, simply use keys 4 and 6 to switch between the gases and

6.8 Storage
The analyzer should not be exposed to extreme temperature. For example, do not keep
the analyzer in a hot car. When not in use, analyzers should be kept in a clean, dry and
warm environment, such as an office. Protect the analyzer with either the soft carry case
or store in the hard carry case provided with the instrument.
The instrument should be discharged and fully charged at least once every four weeks,
regardless of indicated charge state.
6.9 Battery/charging
The battery used in the 5000 series of gas analyzers is nickel metal hydride and
manufactured as a pack from six individual cells. This type of battery is not so susceptible
to the top-off charging ‘memory effects’ as nickel cadmium batteries, although it is not
recommended that the unit is given small top-off charges.
Note:
To reach optimum charge, it is recommended that the instrument is
switched off when being charged and remains switched off during the
charging process.
