Self-resetting Gas Alarms
The GP-01 has self-resetting alarms. A gas alarm will automatically be
reset and all alarm indications for that alarm will cease when the gas
reading decreases below the alarm point. No manual resetting of alarms is
necessary.
Responding to Alarms
This section describes response to gas, over range, battery, sensor failure,
and system failure alarms.
Responding to Gas Alarms
1. Follow your established procedure for an increasing combustible gas
condition.
2. When the gas reading decreases below the alarm point, the alarm will
automatically be reset by the GP-01.
Responding to an Over Range Alarm
WARNING: An over range condition may indicate an extreme
combustible gas concentration. Confirm the gas
concentration with a different Model GP-01 or with
another gas detecting device.
1. Follow your established procedure for an increasing combustible gas
condition.
