Question 4

TIF Combustible gas detector TURN ON
In non-contaminated atmosphere
Sensitivity knob fully CCW
30 second warm up then ticking

Answer 4

TIF Combustible gas detector USING
Rapid ticking = HIGH SENSITIVITY
Most cases no need to readjust sensitivity
For extremely small leaks turn to HI position
For large concentrations, turn to LO

Question 5
