Introduction
Product Model Features
Gas Detector XP-3180 Digitally displays oxygen concentration (with
an automatic alarm turned ON at 18vol%).
Gas Detector for combustion
management XP-3180E Measures oxygen in flue gas (with an
automatic alarm turned ON at 18vol%).
Thank you for purchasing the XP-3000 series Oxygen Indicator. To ensure proper use, please read this
operation manual thoroughly before using the product to prevent gas accidents and oxygen deficiency
accidents, and to conduct maintenance inspections.
Be sure you fully understand this manual regardless of whether you have used a Gas Detector before or
not. Do not use the product in ways not described in the manual.
The following two types of XP-3000 series Composite Gas Detectors are available.
1. Introduction
Operating conditions:
●Replace batteries only in area know to be NON-HAZARDOUS.
●Use the Gas detector in the carrying case specified by New-Cosmos Electric.
●As a comprehensive measure for the prevention of danger resulting from static electricity.
It is desirable for the user carrying the Gas Detector to wear antistatic clothing and
electrically conductive shoes(antistatic work shoes). The floor should also be electrically
conductive( with an electrical leakage resistance of 10 MΩor less.)
●In the measurement of the oxygen density, do not use the Gas Detector for any mixtures
other than air mixed with combustible gas or steam mixed with toxic gas.
●Warning-Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety
●Use only Panasonic LR6XJK, Toshiba LR6, or Duracell MN1500 batteries
●Warning-Do Not Replace Batteries when an explosive gas atmosphere may be present
●Warning-Potential Electrostatic Charging Hazard-Do not remove leather case in a hazardous
location
●Warning-Do not connect anything to the USB port when an explosive gas atmosphere may
be present(Um=5.5V)

Introduction
■Safe Operation
In order to use the Gas Detector safely, be sure to observe the following items.
*Special Instruction and Warning :
Use Panasonic LR6XJK, Toshiba LR6, or Duracell MN1500 batteries. Use of any other
manufacuturer or type will violate intrinsic safety requirement. Remove and replace the batteries
only in areas known to be non-hazardous.
1. Introduction (continued from previous page)
DANGER ●If the gas alarm turns ON, immediately take all necessary measures to
prevent Oxygen deficiency.
WARNING ●Be sure to turn ON the Gas Detector in clean air. Zero calibration (21vol%
calibration in the case of oxygen) is done automatically. Therefore, the
wrong gas concentration will be displayed if zero calibration is done in a
gas atmosphere.
●Do not close the suction port or exhaust port, or no gas detection will be
possible.
●Use the filter element in a clean state. Normal detection cannot be performed
if the filter element is dirty or moisture adheres to the filter element.
CAUTION ●Remove the batteries and store the Gas Detector if it is not to be used for a
long time.
●The Gas Detector has an explosion-proof construction. Do not
disassemble or modify the Gas Detector or change the structure or electric
circuits of the Gas Detector. Otherwise, the explosion-proof performance
of the Gas Detector will be damaged.
●Do not leave the Gas Detector in high-temperature or highly humid places,
or the performance of the Gas Detector may be adversely affected.
●Keep the Gas Detector away from radical temperature or humidity
changes, walkie-talkie, mobile phone, or its performance may be adversely
affected.
●Keep the Gas Detector away from great atmospheric pressure changes,
or the performance of the sensor may be adversely affected or the sensor
may be damaged.
●Do not drop, hit, or apply a strong mechanical shock to the Gas Detector,
or its performance may be adversely affected.
●The Gas Detector is not drip-proof but the leather case protects the Gas
Detector from water drips. Keep the Gas Detector away from water drips
as much as possible.
●Do not let the Gas Detector draw in water.
●Prolonged measurement of combustion exhaust gas will shorten the life of
the sensor. Do not use the sensor continuously for more than 20 minutes.
●High-density SO2 or Cl2 gas may shorten the life of the sensor or cause
considerable errors in the sensor.
●Do not use the Gas Detector under a pressure of two atmospheres or in
airplanes, or the Gas Detector may turn ON the alarm due to the change of
oxygen partial pressure.

3. Detection
●Gas Concentration Screen
Gas is detectable when the gas concentration screen is
displayed.
The LCD sub screen will display Time.
→Refer to page 10 for information on the gas alarm.
●Oxygen Sensor Life Display
The E indication fl ashes as a preliminary announcement of
the oxygen sensor's life expiration. When E changes from
flashing to steady illumination, the life of the oxygen sensor is
considered to have expired. Refer to page 20 to replace the
sensor unit.
If the Gas Detector is not turned on in clean air, E may be
displayed regardless of the lifetime condition of the sensor.
Always turn ON the Gas Detector in clean air.
●21vol% Calibration
To perform 21vol% calibration, press the AIRADJ. switch for approximately three seconds. The
buzzer will beep once, followed by two beeps after a short pause. If the 21vol% calibration
fails, the buzzer will beep once, followed by continuous beeps. Be sure to perform the 21vol%
calibration in clean air.
Note If it is difficult to see the LCD at night, press the LIGHT switch and turn ON the LCD
backlight. The backlight will turn OFF in approximately 30 seconds.

3. Turning Power OFF
When the POWER switch is pressed for approximately three seconds, the buzzer beeps, and the
Gas Detector will be turned OFF.
■Gas Alarm
If the gas concentration reaches the alarm level, the gas alarm will be turned ON. When the gas
concentration drops below the alarm level, the gas alarm will be automatically turned OFF.
Only the gas alarm buzzer will stop if the BZ.STOP switch is pressed at the time of a gas alarm.
If the gas concentration reaches the alarm level again, the gas alarm buzzer will sound again.
If the pointer scales out when detecting high-concentration gas, a digital display is carried out from
25.1vol% to 50.0vol%. The Gas Detector will display OL if the concentration is 50.1vol% or higher.
Note If the BZ.STOP switch is continuously pressed while the gas concentration
screen is displayed, the alarm point will be displayed for approximately three
seconds, and the preset alarm point can be checked.
CAUTION To turn OFF the Gas Detector, wait until the oxygen concentration comes
back to 21 vol % in clean air.
The alarm lamp flashes.

Error Message
4. Error Messages (Malfunction Alarm)
An error alarm sounds when an error occurs, i.e., the LCD screen displays a corresponding error
message and a buzzer sounds. The following table shows the main error messages. Take the necessary
remedy according to the error message.
Error message Remedy
If the same error message appears again after the Gas
Detector is turned OFF and ON several times, a sensor
error or the end of the sensor lifetime may be considered.
Contact your New-Cosmos Electric representative for
repairs.
This message appears when the battery voltage drops
and the remaining battery level is low. The Gas Detector
will not work when the battery voltage is low. Replace
the batteries. (see pages 19). Use approved batteries
Duracell MN1500, Panasonic LR6XJK or Toshiba LR6.
The gas sampling hose may have broken or sucked
in water or the suction tip may be clogged. Take the
necessary measures, such as eliminating the water (see
page 18). If the same error message appears again after
the Gas Detector is turned OFF and ON several times,
the pump may be broken. Reset the pump. If the pump
cannot be reset or water is drawn into the gas sampling
hose or the Gas Detector, contact your New-Cosmos
Electric representative for repairs.
The Gas Detector may be malfunctioning. Contact your
New-Cosmos Electric representative for repairs.
