SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF USE
The monitor is designed for use in harsh environments. The monitor is sealed to IP67 and, if not
subjected to misuse or malicious damage, will provide many years of reliable service.
The monitor may contain electrochemical sensors. Under conditions of prolonged storage, these
sensors should be removed. These sensors contain potentially corrosive liquid and care should be
taken when handling or disposing, particularly when a leak is suspected.

DESIGNED ONLY IF USED AND TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS WILL RENDER THE WARRANTY
AND APPROVALS NULL AND VOID. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY ALSO RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION: BEFORE EACH DAYS USAGE, TEST ON A KNOWN CONCENTRATION OF
METHANE, EQUIVALENT TO 25% – 50% OF FULL-SCALE
CONCENTRATION. ACCURACY MUST BE WITHIN 0 TO +20% OF
ACTUAL. ACCURACY MAY BE CORRECTED BY CALIBRATION (REFER
TO Section 9. CALIBRATION.
ATTENTION: AVANT CHAQUE UTILISATION JOURNALIÈRE, TESTEZ LA RÉACTION
DE L’APPAREIL EN UTILISANT UNE CONCENTRATION CONNUE EN
MÉTHANE, CORRESPONDANT À 25% – 50% DE LA VALEUR RÉELLE.
LA PRÉCISION DOIT SE SITUER ENTRE 0 ET + 20% DE LA VALEUR
RÉELLE. LA PRÉCISION PEUT SE CORRIGER EN ÉTALONNANT
L’APPAREIL (VOIR Section 9. CALIBRATION).
CAUTION: ANY RAPID UP-SCALE READINGS FOLLOWED BY A DECLINING OR
ERRATIC READING MAY INDICATE A GAS CONCENTRATION BEYOND
THE UPPER SCALE LIMIT, WHICH MAY BE HAZARDOUS.

2. INTRODUCTION
2.1. General Description
The PS200 Portable Gas Monitor series combines quality, ruggedness and advanced technology in
a user friendly, portable gas detector. It is compact, lightweight, water resistant, extremely robust,
and is suitably certified to recognized International Standards.
The monitor is suitable for wide range of personal monitoring and confined space applications. If
gas levels exceed configured threshold limits, or if the monitor develops a fault, users will be
alerted by audible, visible, and vibratory alarms.
The monitor is available as either a pumped or diffusion model and is powered by a fast-charging
internal Li-ion (lithium ion) battery.
The monitor is simple to use and is operated via two buttons (refer to Figure 2-1: PS200 Portable
Gas Detector).
Figure 2-1: PS200 Portable Gas Detector
The monitor can detect up to 4 of the following gases simultaneously:
• LEL Hydrocarbons
• Oxygen (O2)
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)

• Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S)
All gases being monitored are displayed. A 4-gas monitor display is illustrated in Figure 2-2: Dis-
play Example (4-Gas).
Figure 2-2: Display Example (4-Gas)
Figure 2-3: Display Examples
Instead of displaying current gas readings, the monitor can be configured to display OK, as illus-
trated in Figure 2-4: OK Display Example (4-Gas).
Figure 2-4: OK Display Example (4-Gas)
NOTE: Character size increases if fewer sensors are configured, as illustrated in
Figure 2-3: Display Examples.
NOTE: This manual describes the operation of a default 4-gas monitor. Configurable
options are available and are detailed in italic text, where applicable.
