Read this manual carefully before using the device
Safety information
Before using this product, please read the following safety information
carefully.
Please don't use defective detector. Before using, please check if there is
crack or spare part missing. If yes, please contact to the seller.
Impact test is suggested once every day. If the display figure is beyond
the range, please calibrate the device.
Please charge the device by using the original charger attached to the
device. It's forbidden to charge it in the dangerous environment.
Please don't expose the device to the gas environment which
concentration is beyond the detecting range. Otherwise, it will influence
the accuracy and shorten the sensor’s life.
Please don't expose it to the compounds of lead, sulfur nor phosphorus.
Otherwise, the sensor will be poisoned.
Please don't expose the device to the corrosive gas. Otherwise, it will
lower the sensor sensitivity. If have to, please carry out the Impact Test
after using to check if it still works normally.
Please don't expose the device to electric shock, strong magnetic field or
serious continuous mechanic shocking.
Lithium battery is installed inside the device. Please don't put the
useless battery together with the other rubbish. The useless battery
should be handled by the qualified persons.
It's forbidden to disassemble, adjust or repair the device privately.
Please don't drop or shake it.
The device is not water-proof, please avoid from water otherwise it will
be damaged.

4. Operation
4.1 Power on
In power off situation, press for more than 1s, the device will start
power on interface, the LCD display will show device’s model number and
its programme version, then begin system self-check. After that, device will
start counting down for warm up, if sensor finish auto zero within 5s, it will
show calibration information and then enter into normal working status. If
auto zero not finished in 5s due to sensor fault or sensor haven’t been used
for long time, please keep waiting.
4.2 Power off
In normal working status, press and hold it, screen will show
confirmation require for power off, then press for confirm.
4.3 Detect
After power on and enter into normal working status, the LCD screen will
show as below picture:
5
In this interface, the black progress bar represent for the gas level compared
to the full range, PV is the value of the progress bar. For example, in the
above picture, total reading is 5700ppm. PV is “57”, “00” is the current
coefficient of the reading, “PPM” is the detecting unit. The figure below the
battery icon “8600” is the maximum reading since the latest power on.
4.4 On/Off backlight
Press to switch on/off the backlight of the LCD screen.
4.5 On/Off sound
Press to switch on/off the sound of the device. There are also indication
icon for the sound in the screen, “ ” means sound on, “ ” means mute.
4.6 Choose unit
In normal working status, press to choose unit to be PPM, %VOL
or %LEL.
5.Calibration
In order to keep the accuracy and reliability of the device, it is suggested to
calibrate the device every 6 months, and the calibration must be carried out
by professional engineers with standard gas. Calibrating privately is highly
prohibited.
Calibration procedure:
1) Press and to power on the device, then screen will display
“DEMARCATE…” and then display “warm up…” to enter into warm
up period which is around 180s, it will also have a counting down
displayed.
6
2) After warm up completed, the screen will display as below picture:
GAS : CH4
RANGE : 30000
SAVE
3) Press to choose the gas type, press to choose the gas range,
after then, press to confirm and enter into next interface shown like
the following picture:
CH4 30000
0√ ＊ 80
1000 √
5000
10000
30000 √
SAVE BACK
Note: GPT100 can be calibrated at several points, and The calibration
sequence is not restricted. The calibrating points where there is a
mark“√ ” behind must be calibrated, other calibrating point are optional
points.
4) In calibration interface, press or to choose one calibrating
point, then put GPT100 into standard gas environment with
corresponding gas concentration, there will be a number (A/D value)
displayed behind the calibrating point, wait until after the number is
steady, press to save the number for this calibrating point, and in
front of the number, there will be a mark of “ * ”. If there is some change
of the gas environment, the number may still change and keep updating,
you can again change the number by pressing again, the latest
number will be saved for this calibrating point.
7
5) If the number(A/D value) is too much different with the theoretical value,
under the screen it will display “ERROR!”, it means calibration fail.
After all calibrating points have been calibrated successfully, press
or to move the screen focus onto “SAVE”, then press to
confirm, at the right side under the screen will display “OK!”, all the
calibrating points will be saved into the GPT100 program. After several
seconds, the device will be power off automatically.
Note:In warm up counting down period or calibrating period, you can
exit calibration by pressing and together and hold the two
buttons for about 3 seconds, the device will cancel calibration and
power off.
6.Charge
Warning:
1) Charging must be in safe environment using original adapter.
2) Plug or unplug may generate electric spark, in dangerous places, it may
lead to fire or explosion.
3) Charging the device when the device is power on may not have normal
charging speed, please keep the device power off when you charge it.
When the icon of is illuminated in the screen, it means charging
completed. In the case of good light, turn off the backlight can save some
battery power.

7.Sensor’s replacement
In normal working environment, the semi conductor sensor can work for 2
years, after that you need replace the sensor. During usage, if sensor is
damaged, you also need to replace the sensor, please contact to your seller
for replacement.
Sensor must be replaced by professional engineer, replacing sensor privately
is prohibited.
