Using GAS-Mate

1.

Long press the Power button to turn GAS-Mate On or Off.

NOTE:

GAS-Mate should be turned on in clean air free of combustible gas.

2.

Wait for GAS-Mate to warm up, about 30 seconds up to two minutes. 

NOTE:

GAS-Mate will alarm during warm-up and the highest leak indicator 
will illuminate. When warm-up is complete, GAS-Mate will beep 
steadily. 

3.

If needed, adjust sensitivity by swiping up or down on the touch pad. The leak 
indicators will illuminate to indicate the sensitivity level.

NOTE:

GAS-Mate defaults to maximum sensitivity on startup. It is 
recommended to use this setting for most applications.

4.

Carry GAS-Mate into the area of the suspected leak. An alarm at this time 
indicates a build-up of combustible gas in the general area. 

NOTE:

When GAS-Mate detects combustible gas, it will alarm and the leak 
indicators will illuminate. Faster beeping or a solid alarm indicate a 
larger concentration of combustible gas.

NOTE:

GAS-Mate will automatically zero to the background concentration, 
indicated by the alarm slowly returning to a steady beep. Once 
zeroed, only a higher concentration will cause an alarm. 

5.

Move the probe tip slowly (approximately 1 to 2 in. (2.5 to 5 cm) per second) 
around suspected leak sites. Position the probe tip as close as possible to the 
suspected leak site for optimum performance.

6.

To confirm a leak, pull the probe away from the suspected leak site and allow 
the instrument to return to a steady state. Repeat step 5.

NOTE:

After exposure to very high concentrations of some gases, the sensor 
may require several minutes to stabilize and return to normal 
operation.
