2. Informació de seguretat
Si us plau, llegiu atentament totes les instruccions de seguretat abans de fer funcionar el dispositiu.
- Always power on the device in a clean, fresh air environment and allow it to complete its preheating cycle (approximately 30 seconds) before use. This ensures accurate calibration.
- Do not use the detector in environments with extremely high concentrations of gas, as this may pose an explosion risk.
- Keep the device away from water and excessive humidity, unless specified for such conditions.
- No intenteu desmuntar ni modificar el dispositiu. Encarregueu tot el manteniment a personal qualificat.
- Ensure batteries are inserted correctly and replace them when the low battery indicator appears to maintain optimal performance.
3. Característiques del producte
- Combustible Gas Detection: Detects a wide range of combustible gases with quick response times.
- Pantalla LCD: Clear digital and analog bar display for gas concentration, ambient temperature, and humidity.
- Alarma audible i visual: Features a buzzer and indicator light that intensify with increasing gas concentration. The backlight changes from green to orange and then to red as the signal increases.
- Ambient Temperature and Humidity Measurement: Integrated high-precision sensors provide accurate environmental readings.
- Apagat automàtic: Automatically shuts down after 10 minutes of no operation or detection signal to conserve battery life.
- Selecció de sensibilitat: Offers High, Mid, and Low sensitivity settings to adapt to different detection scenarios.

5. Configuració
5.1 Instal·lació de la bateria
- Localitzeu el compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del dispositiu.
- Obriu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
- Insert 3 x 1.5V AAA Alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Tanqueu bé la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
5.2 Initial Power-On and Warm-Up
- Ensure the device is in a clean, fresh air environment, free from any gas.
- Manteniu premut el botó d'encesa (U) per encendre el dispositiu.
- The LCD display will show "WAIT..." and a countdown. The device will undergo a warm-up period of approximately 30 seconds for sensor stabilization.
- Once the warm-up is complete, the device is ready for use.
6. Instruccions de funcionament
6.1 Encès/Apagat
- Per engegar: premeu i manteniu premut el botó d'engegada (U).
- Per apagar: premeu i manteniu premut el botó d'engegada (U) again until the display turns off.
6.2 Selecció de sensibilitat
The HT609 offers three sensitivity levels: High (SENS-H), Medium (SENS-M), and Low (SENS-L).
Figure 2: LCD display indicating different sensitivity levels and alarm thresholds.
- Premeu el botó SENS button to cycle through the sensitivity levels: Low → Medium → High.
- Select the appropriate sensitivity based on your detection needs. High sensitivity is for detecting very small leaks, while Low sensitivity is for larger leaks or to avoid nuisance alarms in slightly contaminated areas.
6.3 Understanding the LCD Display and Alarms
La pantalla LCD proporciona informació en temps real:
- Analog Bars: Indicate the relative gas concentration. The number of illuminated bars increases with higher gas levels.
- Digital Reading: Shows the precise gas concentration (if applicable), ambient temperature, and humidity.
- Indicadors d'alarma:
- Zumbador: An audible alarm that increases in frequency and intensity as gas concentration rises.
- Color de la llum de fons: The screen backlight changes color based on gas concentration:
- Green: Safe/Low concentration.
- Orange: Medium concentration/Warning.
- Red: High concentration/Danger.
- Unitats de temperatura: Premeu el botó ° C / ° F button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit for temperature display.
6.4 Performing a Gas Leak Detection
- After warm-up, move the sensor probe slowly along the suspected gas line or area where a leak is suspected.
- Observe the LCD display and listen for the audible alarm.
- If gas is detected, the analog bars will increase, the buzzer will sound more frequently, and the backlight color will change according to the concentration.
- Pinpoint the source of the leak by moving the probe until the alarm is strongest.

7. Manteniment
7.1 Neteja
- Netegeu el dispositiu amb un drap suau i sec. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents.
- Keep the sensor area clean and free from dust or debris to ensure accurate readings.
7.2 Substitució de la bateria
Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the LCD display. Refer to Section 5.1 for battery installation instructions.
7.3 Emmagatzematge
When not in use for extended periods, store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for more than a month to prevent leakage.
- Storage Conditions: -10°C ~ 60°C (14°F ~ 140°F) / 20% ~ 80%RH
8. Solució De Problemes
