Overview
This manual describes the 65-2380 MPS combustible gas detector. This manual also describes
how to install, start up, maintain, and calibrate the detector when used with a gas monitoring
controller. A parts list at the end of this manual lists replacement parts and accessories for the
combustible gas detector.
Specifications
Table 1 specifies the detection ranges and accuracy for each target gas the MPS sensor can detect.
