General Description
The WINGMAN F1 portable gas
detector is designed to protect
personnel against amomonia gas
concentrations independent of xed
detection systems.
The large, lighted, LCD display shows
real time concentrations, battery life,
and any current alarm conditions.
The WINGMAN has four preset alarms
(Low, High, TWA, and STEL) providing
audio, visual, and vibration feedback
and can be customized.
An event log stores the last 100 events,
with time and date stamp. Peak, TWA,
and STEL may be viewed with a single
button press.
The Polycarbonate and TPE enclosure
provides resistance to harsh
conditions. A rugged stainless-steel
alligator clip allows the WINGMAN to
be worn on a harness or belt.
The WINGMAN's low power
consumption and 3.6V lithium battery
(eld replaceable) provides a reliable
life span.
Safety Information

• Don't use the detector in classied
areas where risk of explosion is
possible.
• Make sure the sensor element lter
is not blocked or covered.
• Powering o the detector will reset

• Bump-test daily before using the
detector, making sure it alarms as
intended. Calibrate the detector if
the bump-test fails.
• Bump-test after the detector suers
a hard impact, is exposed to water,
high levels of dust or debris, or high
concentrations of ammonia gas.
