With no alarm conditions, the
display will typically show as on

The gas sensor and their respective
units are displayed, complete with
a battery gauge monitor at the bottom. For an instrument
fitted with less than four sensors, each unused sensor
position will show ‘---’.
Several data screens are available and these can be viewed
by pressing the and buttons to cycle through. The
symbol in the centre of the screen will identify which

GENERAL SAFETY
The Four Gas Detector is a compact, portable gas monitor
designed to be carried or worn without hindering the user. Its
purpose is to monitor the atmosphere continuously for
hazardous levels of four gases: Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen
Sulphide, Methane and Oxygen enrichment / deficiency.
INTRODUCTION
T To o ttu urrn n tth he e iin nssttrru um me en ntt O ON N,, press the button until the
instrument activates its audible and visual alarms. It will
follow the start-up sequence. Once switched ON, the
personal gas detector will run through a series of
automatic self-tests.
Once the self-tests have been successfully completed, the
display will switch to normal operation to give a constant
read-out of the four gas concentrations.

Keep the equipment dry - using electrical equipment in
very damp or wet conditions can be dangerous.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use a suitable
RCD (Residual Current Device) available from your
local branch of HSS Hire.
Keep the charger and its power supply cable out of
harm’s way. Never carry or pull the charger by its power
supply cable.
If the charger fails, or if its power supply cable or plug
gets damaged, return it. Never attempt to repair it
yourself.

If enabled the instrument will prompt if
you wish to zero the sensor in fresh air,
to adjust for any natural drift that may
have occurred. If the button is
pressed the instrument will then ask the user to ensure
that it is being zeroed in fresh, uncontaminated air.
If the button is pressed the
instrument will zero the sensors
automatically, and display wether the
procedure was successful. The
Oxygen reading will be adjust to 20.9%v/v - the other
sensor readings will be adjust to 0ppm and 0%lel
appropriately. If the button is pressed instead the
Peak Screen (( ))
This symbol is displayed when the
instrument is displaying the peak
readings for the sensors, i.e. the
highest readings seen since the
instrument was switched on or
since they were reset. This is useful for pre-entry checks for
confined space entry. These readings can be reset by
pressing the button whilst this display is shown.
This screen will alternate with a screen showing the
minimum value of oxygen. In this case the is replaced
by .
STEL Screen (( ))
This symbol is displayed when the
instrument is displaying the STEL
readings for the toxic sensors. The
STEL is a time weighted average,
measure over a 15 minute
reference period. It is used to monitor exposure to toxic
gases in line with current regulations and/or legislation.
Until 15 minutes has elapsed these are projected values.
LTEL Screen (( ))
This symbol is displayed when the
instrument is displaying the LTEL
(TWA) reading for toxic sensors.
The LTEL is a time weighted
average, measured over an 8
hour reference period. It is used to monitor exposure to
toxic gases in line with current regulations and/or
legislation. Until the gas detector has been monitoring
continuously for 8 hours these are projected values.

To ensure correct operation, the instrument monitors
itself and will confirm correct operation by giving an
audible and green visual confidence signal once every
30 seconds. There is a configurable option to silence the
audible confidence signal, but the visual confidence
signal will continue to operate. If the instrument is in a
low battery condition, the confidence signal will occur
twice every 30 seconds.

This shows the alarm level for the
toxic sensors.
A Alla arrm m C Co on nd diittiio on n
There are two modes of alarm: latching and
non-latching. However, the display will give the same
alarm indication:
An alarm symbol will appear in the
relevant section of the display. The
alarm symbol contains a number,
indicating the increasing severity of
the alarm, with increasing
frequency of the audible and visual alarms. If there is a
STEL / LTEL alarm the relevant icon will appear and flash.
Any alarm will cause the backlight to be switched on
