How to Start the Gas Detector
Press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds to turn on the device, immediately after the power is on, you will see the indicator light on and hear the beeping sound.
The startup sequence: the on-screen display is shown first, then the firmware version, measurement range, and details of the high and low alarms, TWA, and STEL are provided. The mini handheld single gas detector will perform a 60-second warm-up countdown until it starts up.
How to Test the Gas Detector
The mini handheld single gas detector has a fairly simple interface with a large digital display that makes it easy to read the gas concentration in the air in real-time. As an example, gas concentrations are measured as a percentage of volume from 0 to 30, while more unit options are available in the toxic and flammable gas detection model. The remaining battery power is also displayed in the upper right corner. In the upper left corner, there is an icon for whether the self-test has passed or failed. If the test fails, the icon will change to an X. This means that there is a problem with the portable gas leak detector and the user will need to contact the appropriate technician for further technical assistance.
Test Steps
The mini handheld single gas detector is a diffusion type, especially suitable for confined space testing.
- First, remove some butane from the lighter. It takes a few seconds for the gas to be sensed as it approaches the gas detector, as the alarm will sound when the oxygen level in the vicinity falls below the low alarm threshold.
- The mini handheld single gas detector will provide both visual and audible alarms, with a flashing red light at the top, while you are warned with a 95-decibel beeping warning that alerts the user to remain vigilant. While the mini handheld single gas detector is not as sensitive, perhaps because the gas leak detector is not a specialized model for detecting combustible gases, it still does a good job and works fine as an oxygen detector.
- As the gas source disappears, the mini handheld single gas detector will still sense the gas for some time and then begin to return to its previous level. When the mini handheld single gas detector stabilizes, the alarm turns off and the oxygen readings return to standard levels.
- Therefore, if there is any gas leakage problem, the user can check and easily find the fault at home or work and can take early and swift action or leave the scene immediately.
To turn this feature off, simply press and hold the button for 5 seconds, then press 4 3 2 1 to turn it off. - Given these features, the mini handheld single gas detector deserves to be a must-have device for almost everyone, whether it's a homeowner or an RV driver who needs to know immediately if there is any type of gas leak in their living or work area.
