G-Finder Multi is a personal safety device 
designed to detect the presence of Oxygen (O

2

), 

Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H

2

S), 

combustible gases (default target combustible gas 
is methane, CH

4

). Power is provided by one, non-

user replaceable, lithium-thionyl chloride primary 
2-cell. The unit includes LCD display to show 
readings, as well as audible, visual, and vibrating 
alarms are supported when user-configurable 
values are exceeded. It is your responsibility to 
respond appropriately to the alarms. G-Finder 
Multi has no facilities for connection of external 
electrical circuits. G-Finder Multi has IR 
communications for changing the alarm set point, 
calibration range and etc. The IR communications 
shall only be used in safe area.   

WARNING 

1)

 

G-Finder Multi is designed for single use. Non-
field replaceable lithium-ion battery, filter and 
sensor are already installed and ready for use.   

 

2)

 

Do not attempt replacement or substitution of 
components. Replacement or Substitution of 
components may IMPAIR Intrinsic Safety and 
will void the warranty of the product. 

 

3)

 

The electrical, electronic and battery elements 
of this product must not be disposed of via 
municipal waste streams; they should be 
disposed of by a qualified recycler or 
hazardous materials handler. Correct disposal 
will contribute to recycling of materials and 
prevent negative consequences for the 
environment. 

 

4)

 

It is recommended performing a bump test 
prior to use G-Finder Multi every day to 
confirm sensor response and alarm activation 
by exposing the detector to a concentration of 
target gas that exceeds the low alarm set 
point. 

 

5)

 

For optimal performance, please proceed zero 
calibration periodically.   

 

6)

 

G-Finder Multi is provided with anti-static 
coating over the LCD window to minimize risk 
of ignition due to electro-static discharge. 

Periodic inspection of this coating is required 
to ensuring prevention of degradation, 
delamination, abrasions or other deformities 
to the surface. Please make sure to clean only 
with a damp cloth. 

 

7)

 

For all gas types of G-Finder Multi, always 
proceed bump test and calibration at room 
temperature and in a fresh air environment 
(20.9% v/v O

2

) that is free of hazardous gas. 

CAUTION 

1)

 

Activate G-Finder Multi before the activation 
date on the package. 

 

2)

 

In order to maintain normal operation of G-
Finder Multi, keep the gas sensor grill from 
clogging and keep the gas sensor, LED and 
buzzer hole surfaces free from dust and dirt. 
Clean the exterior with a soft and damp cloth. 

 

3)

 

When using G-Finder Multi, sudden change in 
the temperature may cause change in the 
detected gas concentration value suddenly. 
Using in a stable temperature environment is 
recommended for more accurate detection. 

 

4)

 

The combustible gas sensor is initially 
calibrated to 50%LEL methane. Only methane 
gas should be used to calibrate or bump test 
the combustible gas sensor. 

 

5)

 

G-Finder Multi is a gas detector, not a 
measurement device. 

 

6)

 

Portable safety gas detectors are life safety 
devices. Accuracy of ambient gas reading is 
dependent upon factors such as accuracy of 
the calibration gas standard used for 
calibration and frequency of calibration.
