5. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

Piztu/Itzali:

Eduki sakatuta Pizteko botoia (Pizteko botoiaren ikonoa) for approximately 2 seconds to turn the device ON or OFF.

Hasierako Kalibrazioa:

Upon powering on, the device will undergo a 60-second self-calibration process. During this time, ensure the sensor is in fresh air, free from any gas sources, to ensure accurate baseline readings.

Gasen detekzioa:

Extend the flexible gooseneck probe and position the sensor head near the suspected area of a gas leak. The device will display the gas concentration in real-time on the LCD screen. Move the probe slowly to pinpoint the source of the leak.

To set custom alarm values:

  1. In measurement mode, press and hold the MODE botoia to enter the custom alarm value setting.
  2. The screen will display "AL1" for the low concentration alarm. Use the UNITATE botoia to switch the value to be set, and the Gora/Behera geziak balioa doitzeko.
  3. Sakatu MODE botoia again to switch to "AL2" for the high concentration alarm and repeat the adjustment.
  4. Sakatu MODE botoia to finish setting and return to measurement mode.

Unitate-bihurketa:

Sakatu UNITATE botoia to switch between %LEL and PPM for gas concentration readings. Press the Gora/Behera geziak to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) for temperature readings.
