Statements
Responsibility for Use
TIGER® LT instruments detect a large range of gases which are potentially dangerous from both a poisoning
and/or an explosive perspective. TIGER LT instruments have many adjustable and selectable features
allowing the detector to be used in a variety of ways. Ion Science Ltd can accept no responsibility for the
incorrect adjustment of features that cause harm or damage to persons or property. TIGERLT can be used
as a personal safety device. It is the user’s responsibility to respond appropriately to an alarm situation.
Inadequate performance of the gas detection equipment described in this manual may not necessarily be
self-evident and consequently equipment must be regularly inspected and maintained. Ion Science Ltd
recommends that personnel responsible for equipment use a regime of regular checks prior to use to ensure
it performs within calibration limits, and that a record be maintained which logs calibration check data. The
equipment should be used in accordance with this manual, and in compliance with local safety standards.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the TIGERLT is always used with a supplied 0.5 micron PTFE Filter Disc fitted to the front
of the instrument. Without a filter, particles of debris and dust can be drawn into the detector inhibiting the
function of the instrument. These filters are consumable and should be changed after every 100 hours of
use. The frequency of replacement should be increased for dusty or moisture laden environments. Filters
are available from your distributor or at www.ionscience.com.
Quality Assurance
TIGERLT has been manufactured in compliance with ISO9001:2008, which ensures that the equipment
supplied to our customers has been designed and assembled reproducibly, from traceable components, and
leaves Ion Science Ltd calibrated to stated standards.
Disposal
Dispose of TIGERLT, its components and any used batteries in accordance with all local and national safety
and environmental requirements. This includes the European WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment) directive. Ion Science Ltd offers a take back service. Please contact us for more information.
The TIGERLT field case material is recyclable polypropylene.
Calibration Facility
Ion Science Ltd offers a calibration service including the issue of certification confirming calibration with
equipment traceable to national standards. A TIGERLT calibration kit is available from your distributor or
service centre or at www.ionscience.com. Ion Science Ltd recommends annual return of all instruments for
yearly service and calibration.

Introduction to TigerLT
TIGERLT is a portable gas detector that uses Photo-ionization technology to detect a large range of Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC's) which can be dangerous from both a poisoning and explosive perspective.
The TIGERLT uses a Photo-Ionization Detector (PID) to measure gas concentrations. The patented fence
electrode technology minimises the effects of moisture and contamination, avoiding the need for
compensation.
Like its predecessor, the TIGERLT also has an intuitive graphical interface allowing easy access to instrument
settings. Two soft keys A and B can be configured to suit the user’s application, so many functions can be
selected without entering the main menu structure. This improves efficiency of use, particularly with
repeatable tasks.
TIGER PCLT (PC Software) maintains the intuitive look and feel by adopting the same graphical symbols.
TIGER PC also helps manage logged data files and multiple instrument settings in a clear and concise way.
The TIGERLT uses a Lithium-ion battery pack that not only boasts an impressive running time and short
charge time, but also allows the battery pack to be replaced in potentially hazardous environments. Field
replaceable alkaline battery packs (non-rechargeable) are also available for when power to recharge is
unavailable.
The TIGERLT has true USB capability so the instrument can be connected directly to a PC via a standard
USB cable. It also offers fast data download.
A loud audio output, vibration and bright LED's indicate alarm conditions. Orange and Red LED's indicate
High and Low conditions respectively. This colour scheme is used within TIGER PCLT to offer clear
indication of alarm levels within logged data.

Getting started
Thank you for choosing TIGERLT from Ion Science Ltd. We hope that your TIGERLT will give you many years
of active and trouble-free service.
The Manual
Ion Science Ltd recommend that you familiarise yourself with this manual before using your TIGERLT. The
‘Statements’ and ‘Introduction to TIGERLT’ sections contain important information, which should be read
before you turn your TIGERLT on for the first time.
Inlet Nozzles
Ensure that the inlet nozzle supplied is fitted to your TIGERLT. Details on how to fit and change inlet nozzles
is detailed in the ‘Maintenance’ section. If the supplied inlet nozzle is unsuitable for your application, details
of alternative inlet nozzles can be found in the ‘Maintenance’ section as well.
Turn On
Press the Enter / On/Off key once to turn TIGERLT on.
Turn Off
Press and hold the Enter / On/Off key for 3 seconds, indicated by a 3 second countdown, to turn
TIGERLT off. (Note: If the TIGERLT fails to shut down, press the Escape (Esc) key once or twice
to return to the main screen, then press and hold the Enter / On/Off key again.)
Batteries
Check that your TIGERLT has sufficient charge for use. The battery icon (see ‘Understanding the display
screen’) should show at least two full segments.
Rechargeable Batteries
TIGERLT instruments leave the factory with the Rechargeable Battery Pack (A2) fully charged. However
prolonged periods of storage may result in the battery pack discharging. We recommend charging the
instrument for seven hours before use. See the ‘Batteries’ section of this manual pages 33 to 35.
Alkaline Batteries
An alkaline AA Battery Pack (A3) is also supplied with the TIGERLT. For more information please see the
‘Batteries’ section of this manual.
Response Factor
TIGERLT instruments leave Ion Science Ltd factory calibrated on isobutylene and with a response factor of
(1.0). The reason we calibrate the instruments with a response factor of (1.0) is because this is the response
factor of isobutylene.
Set Alarm Levels
We recommend that alarm levels are set to user specifications as soon as possible before the TIGERLT is
used for the first time. Please see the ‘Using your TIGERLT’ section of the manual for details of how to set
alarm levels.
TIGER PCLT. The full functionality of your TIGERLT can only be realised through the TIGERLT PC software.
Ion Science Ltd recommend that you load the software supplied with your instrument and set up your
