Neck Strap
Attach the strap to the top connectors and place
around the neck. Adjust the length of the strap until
the instrument is in a comfortable working position.
Chest Harness
Leave the neck strap in position. Attach the other
strap to the side connectors and link around the
chest. Adjust the strap lengths until the instrument is
in a comfortable working position.
Gas Sampling
To take a sample of a gas in a confined space or
where there are unknown levels of gas present using
G-TECTA™ 4GP, the flow sample method can be used.
Note: A flow cap and a 2 metre length of hose
are included in the box with your G-TECTA™ 4GP
instrument. The aspirator bulb and hose (Article Numbers
ASGTAK2 or ASGTAK3) is an additional accessory.
Pumped Instruments
A flow cap must be fitted over the sensors on the
front of the instrument and a hose fitted onto the
flow cap “gas in” nozzle.
1. To fit the flow cap, slide the top of the flow cap
into the small recess at the top of the instrument
and screw the thumbscrew until it is tightly fitted
into place.
2. Attach the sampling hose onto the “gas in” nozzle.
3. The G-TECTA™ 4GP pump will draw the gas
sample through the “gas in” nozzle and out
through the “gas out” nozzle.
4. To remove the flow cap, unscrew the
thumbscrew and lift it away from the instrument.
Diffusion (Non-Pumped) Instruments
A flow cap must be fitted over the sensors on the
front of the instrument, a hose fitted onto the flow
cap “gas in” nozzle and an aspirator bulb fitted onto
the “gas out” nozzle.
1. To fit the flow cap, slide the top of the flow cap
into the small recess at the top of the instrument
and screw the thumbscrew until it is tightly fitted
into place.
2. Attach the sampling hose onto the “gas in” nozzle.
3. Attach the aspirator bulb onto the “gas out” nozzle.
4. Check the aspirator bulb is attached correctly by
covering the end of the bulb and by squeezing
it gently. If there are no leaks, the aspirator bulb
should remain deflated for a few seconds.
5. Squeeze the aspirator bulb once per second to
create a steady flow of air into the instrument. We
recommend the operator squeezes the aspirator
bulb at least 10 times (using the 2 metre hose
supplied). Longer lengths of hose and metal
probes can be purchased. For additional lengths
of hose, we recommend that the aspirator bulb is
squeezed once for every additional 30cm of hose
to enable the gas sample to reach the sensor.
Continue to squeeze the bulb for an additional
45 seconds, or until gas readings stabilise.
6. To remove the flow cap, unscrew the
thumbscrew and lift it away from the instrument
Manual aspirator remote sampling only
provides continuous gas readings for the area in which
the hose or probe is located and when the aspirator
bulb is being continuously squeezed. Each time a new
gas reading is required, the aspirator bulb must be
squeezed a sufficient number of times to bring a fresh
sample and a stabilised reading to the sensor.
Maintenance, Calibration
and Gas Testing
Cleaning
Ensure the G-TECTA™ 4GP display, operator button and
sensor filter remain free from dirt build up. Regularly
wipe over your G-TECTA™ 4GP unit with a damp cloth
and inspect the sensor filters for dirt or damage.
Gas (bump) testing
The atmosphere in which G-TECTA™ 4GP instruments
are used can have lasting effects on the sensors.
Sensors may suffer losses in sensitivity leading to
degraded performance if exposed to certain substances.
The Linde Group recommends a bump test each time
G-TECTA™ 4GP instruments are used or issued for
use. As a minimum, a monthly bump test is required
to confirm sensor operation. Test gases of known
composition (compatible with the settings on the
instrument sensor modules) need to be applied,
to verify sensor response and alarm function.
Note: Please see The Linde Group data sheet
“Gas Detector Calibration Frequency” for further
advice on bump testing and calibration.
The Linde Group manufactures and supplies Gas Test
Cylinders under numerous global product brands,
including Linde, BOC, AGA, Afrox etc. The Linde
Group gases supplied for use with your G-TECTA™
4GP gas detection instruments are specially
formulated, high stability long life multi-gas mixes.
The G-TECTA™ 4GP instrument will determine
Pass/Fail status for the gas test.
In order to perform successful gas tests ensure:
The gas used has the recommended gas •
concentration and it is within the validity date
specified by The Linde Group
The gas flow path is leak tight. It is important •
to check that the flow cap is properly fitted
to the G-TECTA™ 4GP unit, the outlet hose is
not restricted in any way, nor additional hose
length used.
The G-TECTA™ Gas Test Kit comprises a full gas
cylinder and regulator with interconnecting hose, a
gas test key (used to activate Gas Test Mode on the
instrument), a flow cap to attach to the G-TECTA™
4GP, and a vent line. The Gas Test Kit is supplied in a
convenient carry case.
