6. BATTERY CHARGING
The ANALYZER has a built-in lithium battery and can be charged via micro-USB
port. Any USB charger will work, ensure >1.0A for fast charging. Before
charging, TURN OFF the analyzer to avoid any potential damage. Charging takes
about 4 hours. When charging is required the screen will display LOW BATTERY
along with two beeps/minute. Do not charge the device in a combustible area.
7. OPERATIONAL TIPS & FINAL COMMENTS
ü When in the ON state, after the display has switched OFF, the LED will flash
every 20 seconds to reassure the user the detector is still ON and operating
– useful for dark situations and when the screen is OFF (to save power).
ü The analyzer calculates COAF (CO Air Free) and Excess Air (EA) only when O2
is less than 20%.
ü Before turning the detector off don’t forget to flush/purge out the detector
by allowing the pump to run for 60 secs to allow clean air to purge.
ü Ensure tubing and items are clean before storing as to avoid any
contamination, residual odors or toxic gases that may poison the sensor.
ü The sensors have a rated life of 2 years. If well taken care of, they can last
longer (up to 3 years) but will require more frequent calibration.
ü Ensure periodic calibration every 6 months so that the performance of the
detector remains within specification. If the calibration period is >6 months,
the detector still operates but accuracy will be compromised.
ü When placing the probe in the exhaust flue, ensure it remains in the hot
exhaust for no longer than 2 minutes. Avoid high temperatures for prolong
period of time (<3 minutes). The pistol gun made get VERY HOT.
ü Gas sample probe may get hot. BEWARE of burning your hand.
