5. Suidhich
5.1 Stàladh bataraidh
- Unscrew the end cap of the device to access the battery compartment.
- Insert the two included AAA Alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Securely screw the end cap back onto the device.
5.2 Cumhachd air agus Blàthachadh
- Brùth agus cum am putan Cumhachd (⏻) for a few seconds until the display illuminates.
- The device will initiate a 30-second warm-up sequence, indicated by a countdown timer on the LCD screen. During this time, ensure the device is in a fresh air environment for accurate self-calibration.
- Once the warm-up is complete, the device will beep, and the display will show '0%LEL' or a stable low reading, indicating it is ready for use.
6. Stiùireadh Obrachaidh
6.1 Dearbhadh Gas
- With the device powered on and warmed up, slowly move the sensor head near the area where a gas leak is suspected.
- Pay close attention to gas pipelines, connections, valves, and gas appliance areas (e.g., gas stoves, water heaters, furnaces, RV connections).
