5.2 Axuste da sensibilidade
The ET120 offers two sensitivity modes:
- Alta sensibilidade: Approximately 50 to 1000 ppm. Use for detecting smaller leaks or when precise location is needed.
- Sensibilidade baixa: Approximately 1000 to 10,000 ppm. Use for detecting larger leaks or initial scanning of an area.
Press the 'LOW' or 'HIGH' buttons on the device to switch between sensitivity modes.
5.3 Gas Detection Process
To detect gas leaks:
- Ensure the device is powered on and calibrated.
