The leak detector operation

Warm up:
Switch the ROTEST Electronic 4 ON in fresh air (press and hold the on/off button
light will briefly illuminate. The top (red) LED will illuminate and the tic rate will be once a second.
The LEDs will then cycle for approximately 20 seconds to indicate the warm-up.
When the warm up is complete the bottom (green) LED will be illuminated and the ROTEST
Electronic 4 tic rate will be once every 2 seconds.
Normal operation:
The Green battery status LED will remain illuminated if the batteries have sufficient power to run
the ROTEST Electronic 4. If the Green LED is flashing the batteries in the ROTEST Electronic 4
must be replaced.
In fresh air the unit will tic once every two seconds.
If gas is detected the tic rate will increase, the Yellow LED's will illuminate.
