1.1 Correct Use
The TG5000 Gas Monitor, hereafter also called device, is a gas monitor for measuring toxic
and combustible gases as well as oxygen. Using sensors, the device tests the ambient air and
triggers the alarm as soon as the gas exceeds a specific concentration level.
WARNING!
Read this manual carefully. The TG5000 Gas Monitor is a General Purpose unit and must be
installed, operated and maintained in strict accordance with their labels, cautions, warnings,
instructions, and within the limitations stated. Otherwise, it could fail to perform as designed and
persons who rely on this device for their safety could sustain serious personal injury or loss of
life.
The below reference label can be found on the left side of TG5000 Enclosure.
WARNING!
Do not use silicone-type lubricants in assembling the device and do not allow silicone vapors to
be drawn into the flow system while in operation. Silicone can desensitize the combustible gas
sensor, thereby giving erroneously low readings.

provided in this manual. Failure to do so may seriously impair sensor and gas monitoring perfor-
mance, alter flameproof/explosion proof characteristics or void agency approvals.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
