Introduction
Using an advanced microprocessor controlled detection system, the 03
Series Personal Single Channel Gas Monitor detects the presence of either
carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S), or oxygen (O
2
). The 03
Series’ compact size and easy-to-use design make it ideally suited for a
wide range of applications, including sewage treatment plants, tunnels,
hazardous waste sites, petrochemical facilities, oil fields, mines, and
chemical plants. The 03 Series is even small enough to be placed
conveniently in a pocket. The 03 Series offers the following features:
•
Compact design
•
Fast, accurate response with backlit digital liquid crystal display (LCD)
•
Visual, audible, and vibration alarms
•
Microprocessor control for reliability, ease of use, and advanced
capabilities
•
Resistance to RF (radio frequency) interference
•
Datalogging including interval trend data and alarm trend data
•
Peak, STEL, and TWA indication for CO-03 & HS-03
•
Minimum and maximum indication for OX-03
•
Over range alarm
•
Gas, battery, sensor failure, and system failure alarms
•
Over 3,000 hours operation on one set of alkaline batteries
•
Rotatable alligator clip for “hands free” gas monitoring, belt clip optional
•
CSA certification for intrinsic safety in Class I, Division I, Groups A, B,
C, and D hazardous atmospheres pending
WARNING: The 03 Series detects oxygen deficiency and elevated
levels of oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen
sulfide, all of which can be dangerous or life threatening.
When using the 03 Series, you must follow the
instructions and warnings in this manual to assure
proper and safe operation of the unit and to minimize the
risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and
periodically calibrate the 03 Series as described in this
