OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
Please read these instructions fully before using the KANE-EGD/RGD.
The KANE-EGD/RGD is powered by two AA batteries. Take care to ensure the
batteries are inserted correctly. When replacing batteries please dispose of used
batteries in accordance with local regulations.
The KANE-EGD/RGD will enable the operator to pin-point small gas leaks, It does
not MEASURE gas levels.
Do not use the KANE-EGD/RGD as a personal safety monitor.
Take extreme care when using the KANE-EGD/RGD, especially when gas is
detected. If in any doubt, open doors and windows to ventilate rooms under test,
ensure people are not at risk and call the Emergency Service Provider.
THE LEAK DETECTOR OPERATION:
Warm up:
Switch the KANE-EGD/RGD ON in fresh air, (press and hold the on/off button).
The tip light will briefly illuminate. The top (red) LED will illuminate and the tic rate
will be once a second.
The LEDs will then cycle for approximately 20 seconds to indicate the warm-up.
When the warm up is complete the bottom (green) LED will be illuminated and the
KANE-EGD/RGD tic rate will be once every 2 seconds.
Normal operation:
The Green battery status LED will remain illuminated if the batteries have sufficient
power to run the KANE-EGD/RGD. If the Green LED is flashing the batteries in the
KANE-EGD/RGD must be replaced.
In fresh air the unit will tic once every two seconds.
If gas is detected the tic rate will increase, the Yellow LED’s will illuminate.
The Red LED’s will illuminate at higher levels of gas and the tic rate will increase to
become almost continuous. Rotate the thumb wheel anti clockwise to reduce the tic
rate, resetting the KANE-EGD/RGD to the new background level.
KANE-EGD/RDG MANUAL 3

Move the KANE-EGD/RGD tip into higher concentrations of gas indicated by the
increased tic rate and illumination of the yellow and red LED’s until the leak is
found.
The tip light is activated by pressing the light/mute button, to turn the light off press
the button once more.
To mute the tic sound press and hold the light/mute button, to reinstate the tic
sound press and hold the mute button again.
Tips:
If the initial tic rate does not settle to once every two seconds, switch off and back
on to allow additional re-setting time.
The KANE-EGD/RGD may be reset at any time by switching off and back on.
Some leak detection fluids can cause a (temporary) false indication.
Use the KANE-EGD/RGD first!
The KANE-EGD/RGD is intended for use in sheltered areas or indoors as severe
draughts may cause (temporary) false indication.
Avoid contamination by water or dirt and do not allow any reactive chemicals etc.
to come into contact with the sensor.
