The LCD is visible through the front of the case. When the GP-01 is in

displayed when the LCD is in other modes, such as Calibration Mode.
When either of the two control buttons are pressed, the LCD backlight

Control Buttons
Below the LCD are two control buttons: POWER/MODE and AIR. The
POWER/MODE button turns the Model GP-01 on and off. The functions

Printed Circuit Boards
The primary function of the Model GP-01’s printed circuit boards is to
amplify the signal sent to them from the combustible gas sensor, convert
the signal to a meaningful measurement of gas concentration, display the
gas concentration on the LCD, store peak gas readings, and activate the
alarm circuit if an alarm point has been reached. They monitor battery
level, battery failure, and sensor failure. They also control various operating
modes of the unit.
