What checks should be done before using the gas detector?
Publication Date:2021/04/28The detector shall be calibrated and tested in time. No matter what kind of instrument it is, it should be carefully checked and proofread before use, especially gas detector . if it is not corrected and tested in time before use, the accuracy of the instrument itself may deviate. therefore, it is very necessary to calibrate and check in time before using the gas detector., So what kind of inspection do you need to do before using the gas detector? The following staff of Yiyuntian to share a few points.

The following checks are required before using the gas detector:
1. Appearance power check: before use, carefully check whether the appearance of the gas detector is intact or not. The detector should be turned on to see if it can enter the detection interface after normal self-check and observe whether the power of the detector can meet the work needs. If the power is insufficient, it should be charged immediately, and it is forbidden to bring it into the operation site.
2. use environment inspection: check the nameplate of the gas detector before use, and specify the type and range of the detected gas, the applicable range of temperature, the applicable area of explosion-proof, etc. different gas detectors have specific use ranges. working outside the use range will cause damage to the gas detector, in severe cases, the detection function may be lost. For example, a combustible gas LEL detector, if accidentally used in an environment with more than 100 percent LEL, may completely burn the sensor.The toxic gas detector, working for a long time at a higher concentration will also cause damage to the sensor.
3. alarm test: after the gas detector is normally turned on, the corresponding gas cylinder shall be used for ventilation test to check whether the sensor response of the gas detector is sensitive and the alarm function is complete. If the tester does not respond after the ventilation test, it should be repaired immediately.
what checks need to be done before using the gas detector will be shared here. after reading the above introduction, you should now know what checks need to be done before using the gas detector. if you still have problems when using it, you can consult us.
