) as a percentage of LEL (lower explosive limit). The
Model GP-01’s compact size and easy-to-use design makes it ideally
suited for a wide range of applications, including sewage treatment plants,
tunnels, hazardous waste sites, petrochemical facilities, oil fields, mines,

conveniently in a pocket. The Model GP-01 offers the following features:
• Compact design
• Fast, accurate response with digital liquid crystal display (LCD)
• Visual, audible, and vibration alarms
• Microprocessor control for reliability, ease of use, and advanced
capabilities
• Peak readings
• Gas, battery, sensor failure, and system failure alarms
• CSA certified for intrinsic safety in Class I, Division I, Groups A, B, C,
and D hazardous atmospheres
WARNING: The Model GP-01 detects combustible gas, which can be
dangerous or life threatening. When using the Model GP-
