Standard Accessories

Alligator Clip

An alligator clip is installed to a base clip that attaches to spring bars on the back of the

GasWatch 3. Use the alligator clip to attach the GasWatch 3 to clothing or a belt. Teeth in the

alligator clip’s jaws prevent slipping. The alligator clip can be rotated to change the

instrument’s orientation.

Optional Accessories

Watch Band

The adjustable watch band allows the GasWatch 3 to be worn on the wrist. The watch band

attaches to spring bars that are protected by hollow tubes.
