GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Intended Use
The Macurco GD-6 is a low voltage, dual relay Combustible Gas detector, controller and transducer. The GD-6 has selectable 4-20 mA
output, buzzer and digital display options. It is an electronic detection system used to measure the concentration of Combustible Gas
and provide feedback and automatic exhaust fan, louver or valve control to help reduce gas concentrations in parking garages, battery
rooms or other commercial applications. The GD-6 is a versatile, easy-to-use device that allows you to select between methane,
propane or hydrogen gas detection. It provides low-level detection of combustible gas in an easy-to-maintain monitor that is factory
calibrated for simple installation. The GD-6 is capable of displaying from 0-50% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) of Combustible Gas. The
GD-6 is factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation, but can also be calibrated in the field.
List of Warnings and Cautions within these User Instructions
Each person using this equipment must read and understand the information in these User Instructions before use. Use of this
equipment by untrained or unqualified persons, or use that is not in accordance with these User Instructions, may adversely affect
product performance and result in sickness or death.
Use only for monitoring the gas which the sensor and instrument are designed to monitor. Failure to do so may result in exposures
to gases not detectable and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Technical
Service at 1-877-367-7891.
This equipment may not function effectively below 0F or above 125F (-18C or above 52C). Using the detector outside of this
temperature range may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death.
This detector helps monitor for the presence and concentration level of a certain specified airborne gas. Misuse may produce an
inaccurate reading, which means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could result in overexposure
and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Technical Service at 1-877-367-7891.
High voltage relay terminals (120/240 VAC) are located within this detector, presenting a hazard to service technicians. Only
qualified technicians should open the detector case and service the internal circuits. Ensure power is removed from the detector
relays prior to servicing the unit. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this instrument. This instrument contains no user
serviceable parts, and substitution of components may impair product performance and result in sickness or death.
Using a certified gas with a concentration other than the one listed for this detector when conducting a calibration or calibration
verification test (bump test) will produce inaccurate readings. This means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be
present and could result in overexposure and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or
call Technical Service at 1-877-367-7891
The following steps must be performed when conducting a calibration or calibration verification test (bump test) to ensure proper
performance of the monitor. Failure to do so may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death.
When performing a calibration or calibration verification test (bump test) only use certified calibration gas at the required
concentration level. Do not calibrate with expired calibration gas.
If the instrument cannot be calibrated, do not use until the reason can be determined and corrected.
Do not cover or obstruct display or visual alarm cover.
Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and is free of debris
