2 Important Notices on Safety 2-2. Warning cases 2-2. Warning cases WARNING Power supply Before turning on the detector, always check that the voltage is properly applied. Do not use an unstable power supply because it may cause malfunctions. Need of grounding circuit Do not cut the grounding circuit or disconnect the wire from the grounding terminal.
2 Important Notices on Safety 2-3. Precautions 2-3. Precautions CAUTION Do not use a transceiver near the detector. Radio wave from a transceiver or other radio wave transmitting device near the detector or its cables may disturb readings. If a transceiver or other radio wave transmitting device is used, it must be used in a place where it disturbs nothing.

10 Product Specifications 10-2. Detection principle 10-2. Detection principle [Detection principle] An electrochemical type sensor electrolyzes a gas directly while maintaining the interface between electrode and electrolyte at a constant potential (bias voltage). A gas is electrolyzed by an electrolysis cell to which a certain potential (bias voltage) is applied, and the gas is detected from the electrolytic current generated at that time.
11 Definition of Terms Definition of Terms Electrochemical This is a principle of the sensor installed in the detector head. type See "10-2. Detection principle" for details. Output from the detector head fluctuates for a while after turning on the power. Initial clear This is a function to prevent triggering alarm during that time.
