When using the detector refer to the following:
 WArNINg! for use only as an aid, detecting leaks in small gas
containers such as lighters, camping gas stoves, plumbers' blow torches
etc. Any hint of a gas leak from industrial/domestic supply such as
in ovens, heaters, boilers etc., in the home or workplace, must
immediately be reported to an authority or gas supplier.
 Before use confirm that the detector casing is undamaged.
 do Not use if any fault is found or if wet.
 Before use check the operation of the detector by "testing" a known leak
source such as an extinguished gas lighter.
 do Not use the detector for any purpose other than for which it is
designed.
 the detector is a delicate instrument, handle with care utilising carrier
sling, avoid excessive vibration, impacts, moisture and temperatures.
 do Not blow or allow jets of gas on to the sensor.
the Vs908 is designed for a fast, simple and clean aid to detect the presence
of leaks in LPG and cnG (Propane/Butane) systems. ideal for initial
investigation, suitable for automotive, industrial and domestic applications.
fitted with static discharge element, LED display and audible tone indicating
presence of combustible gas. Maintenance free powered by two 1.5V batteries
(supplied).

IMportANt! Always perform a static test before a gas detection
operation. this must be carried out in a separate room.
4. operAtIoN
4.1 Notes on static electricity discharge.
4.1.1 to avoid sparks when testing for flammable gases, always discharge the
operator's static electricity in a separate room prior to the leak test.
4.1.2 follow detector instructions 4.2.1 and then 4.1.3.
4.1.3 on the underside of the detector a small wire element projects. touch
the element and touch an earthed object, a radiator for example. if the
operator is statically charged the yellow LED will illuminate for a short
period during the discharge time. see also 4.2.3.
4.2 Notes on combustible gas detection.
4.2.1 With the batteries installed and the sensor cap removed, turn the unit on
by sliding the switch to "on". the red LED will illuminate and an audible
output beep will sound for about 5 seconds. (if the audible output fails
this will not necessarily suggest a fault. this may occur if switched on
and off too quickly; allow 60 seconds before switching on again). the
red LED will be extinguished and the green LED will be illuminated. this
indicates the batteries and detector are functioning correctly.
4.2.2 Bring the exposed sensor in close proximity to the suspected leak
source, the red LED and audio output will indicate the presence of a
flammable gas within the range stated in the specifications.
4.2.3 A yellow LED illuminated indicates the presence of static electricity.
4.2.4 switch to "off" position and re-fit sensor cap after use.
5. BAtterIeS
5.1 replace if green or red LED's do not illuminate.
5.2 for removal, thumb grip and slide cover in direction of arrow .
5.3 install batteries with polarity as shown in illustration and slide cover
home with thumb grip until it latches.
5.4 for disposal see notes below (Environmental Protection).
6. cleANINg
6.1 With sensor cap on, periodically wipe the casing with a damp cloth.
do Not use solvents or abrasives. do Not clean sensor, which
should be protected with cap at all "not in use" times.
