GAS
MONITOR
The Apollo Gas Monitor gas detector
system is specifically designed to detect
LPG, Propane, Butane, Alcohol
vapor and Gasoline vapor. Also detected
are
Acetone,
Benzene, Hydrogen, Hydrogen Sulfide,
M.E.K., Methyl Alcohol,
Octaine
and other deoxidizing gases
and vapors.

Monitor
Operating
Instructions:
During intervals when
the POWER is OFF to the
remote detectors,
the gas
sensor elements absorb atmospheric
gases and
water vapor. When switched
ON,
the detectors
go into an alarm state for up to
3 minutes until
these gases
and water vapor are driven from the
sensors. An
automatic 5 minute
Alarm
MUTE cycle is initiated when power is switched
ON.
l. Set Power switch to ON; note that the green
power LED*
and the
red
MUTE LED go ON. Within a few seconds
each DETECTOR
LED
on the monitor panel will
go ON but no sound
will be heard
because
of
the Automatic MUTE
timer. Each DETECTOR LED will
go out
within
3 minutes. In 4 to 5 minutes the MUTE LED will go out. The
system is now ready to detect dangerous gases.
2.
Test each remote detector by injecting a small amount
of gas from
a
butane lighter into the bottom of the detector (DO NOT strike
a ame
on the lighter, just hold down the gas release
lever
briefly).
Within a
few seconds the alarm should sound. This test should be repeated
periodically.
