Filter Element Replacement
If the filter elements are dirty or wet, replace them with new ones.
1) Remove the sensor cover by untightening the four screws.
Sensor cover
Be careful not to damage or strike the filter elements with a finger etc.
Damaged filter elements may impair their waterproof performance.
NOTE
Use a screwdriver with point size 1
(see page 33 for the shape).
CAUTION
Ensure that the filter elements and sensor cover are installed
correctly. Misalignment may compromise gas detection and
waterproof performance.
Firmly tighten the screws. Loose screws may cause water
ingress into the detector.
Call for repair if the water is observed inside the detector. Proper
gas detection is not possible if water is present inside the gas
detector.
Do not switch the sensor locations. Doing so may cause a failure
or error, which will then compromise proper gas detection.

Charge Battery BP-4000llMH
The user can estimate the timing of battery replacement by checking the battery level
indicator on the LCD. When the battery is drained, “E-B” will be displayed on the LCD
and the unit will beep, the detector will not detect gases any longer. The LCD will then
turn off when the battery is completely drained.
When used at low temperature, the battery life will be shorter than when
used at room temperature due to battery’s characteristics. If the battery
level is low, it is recommended to replace the battery before it becomes
empty.
Rechargeable batteries deteriorate after repeated charge/discharge cycles,
which reduces the battery life. Replace the battery if continuous operation
time becomes extremely short, indicating the end of the battery life.
It is recommended to charge the battery earlier when is displayed at
the bottom left corner of the LCD.
NOTE
Charge and insert the battery only in non-hazardous locations.
Charge the battery with a specified battery charger (BC-9).
Make sure to use a specified battery (GP75AAAHC). We
cannot guarantee the intrinsically safe performance if an
unspecified battery is used.
Be sure to remove contaminates from the O-ring of the battery
cover and the joint surface between the detector and the
battery cover. Contaminates such as dirt may cause water
ingress into the detector.
