WARNING STATEMENTS
If the detector is past the “Activate Before Date” on the package, please do not activate.
Do not attempt part replacement or substitution as this could impair the intrinsic safety rating and will void the
warranty of the product.
Before daily use check the following:
1) Sensor and alarm ports are clear of any obstructions i.e. debris or blockage
2) Perform the Self-test to ensure proper operation of visual, audible, and vibrating alarms
3) Confirm receipt of a check mark in the upper left hand corner signaling a successful Self-test
4) Inspect the detector for any physical signs of damage
DO NOT use IR communications when an explosive atmosphere may be present.
The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F)
or incinerate. Contact Gas Clip Technologies for replacement instructions. Use of another battery may present a
risk of fire or explosion.
Keep new and used batteries away from children.
DO NOT expose the detector to sensor poisons such as, but not limited to: alcohol, citrus-based cleaners, silicones,
lead compounds (e.g. tetraethyl lead), sulfur compounds, phosphorus, halogenated hydrocarbons and aerosols.
Exposure to poisons may impair the accuracy and/or response time of the detector.
If suspected sensor poisoning has occurred, recheck the detector (both calibrate and bump test).
Calibrate the SGC O₂ detector at least every 30 days. Make sure to calibrate in a clean air environment. See SGC O₂
detector section for instructions on calibration.
The CO and H
2
S versions of both the Single Gas Clip and SGC Plus do not require calibration for the life of the
product.
The detector should be bump tested before each day’s use with a known concentration of gas to confirm its ability
to respond to gas. The recommended target gas concentrations for the different detector versions are as follows--
H
2
S: 25 ppm, CO: 200 ppm, O₂: 18%. Calibrate the detector if the readings are not within the specified limits.
Bump tests can be performed either manually or through the SGC Dock. If a manual test is to be performed, make
sure to test in a clean air environment.
Any rapid up-scale reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond
upper scale limit which may be hazardous.
Strong Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) may cause incorrect operations.
If a detector fails the self-test or bump test, please discontinue use.
The detector contains a lithium battery that must be disposed of by a qualified recycler. Check local regulations for
proper disposal.
Do not substitute internal components as this may interfere with the intrinsic safety of the device.
Do not attempt to replace the battery or sensor. This product is designed to be disposable. Changing these
components will void the warranty.
If you suspect any malfunction or have any technical problems please contact GCT at 877-525-0808.
READ FIRST BEFORE OPERATION
Gas Clip Technologies (GCT) Single Gas Clip and SGC Plus detectors are personal safety devices designed to detect the
presence of specific toxic gases such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H
2
S) or Oxygen (O₂) deficiency. Before
operation, please ensure you have been properly trained on the use of the equipment and appropriate actions to take in
the event of an alarm condition.
