SAFETY INFORMATION
Incorrect operation or unsuitable using environment may attenuate
the instrument’s performance. Therefore, please first read the
below safety information carefully before using and then operate
this device.
 Please don't use the defective device. Before using, please
check if there is crack or spare part missing. If yes, please
contact the seller immediately.
 It's suggested that the user carry out the "Bump Test" by
following Clause 5.3 of this manual before using the device. If
the device reading is beyond the specified range, please
calibrate the device by following Clause 5.7 and 5.8 of this
manual.
 Periodic Bump test will test the response feature of the sensor.
Please make sure that the visual, audible and vibrative alarm
signals are ok.
 Only accessories which are specified for E6000 or permitted by
the seller are allowed to be used.
 Only the charger which is specified for E6000 is allowed to be
used. It's forbidden to charge the device in the dangerous
environment.
 Please don't expose the device to the exceeding-range gas
environment for long time. Otherwise, it will badly influence the
performance and even damage the device.
 If exposed to the environment consisting of leaded compound,
sulfocompound, organic phosphorus compound or silicon, the
gas sensor will be poisoned. Please don't use the device in the
above environment.
 Please don't expose the device to the environment which
consists of H2S, hydrocarbons gas or high corrosive gas for

5. Operation instructions
5.1 Power on

When machine is power off, hold for more than 3s and the
device will be power on. The screen shows as below.

After power on, the detector will proceed self-test and display is as
below drawing.

The device will make self test on the buzzer, alarm lights and
vibrator automatically. After self-test, the device enters into normal
detection status and the screen displays as below.

5
E6000 Portable Multi-Gas Detector Henan Hanwei Electronics Co., Ltd.

Note:
 If self-test fails, related information will be displayed. For
details, please refer to Clause 10 Troubleshooting of this
manual.
 If self test succeeds, the device enters into warm-up period of
3-30s, which depends on the sensor type.

5.2 Power off

In normal detection status, hold for 3 seconds and the

screen will show “Shutting down…”. Meanwhile, the buzzer will give
out intermittent beep twice. Then machine is power off.

5.3 Bump test

Every day before using the device, the user is suggested carry out
Bump test, so as to check if the device is working normally.
Test method:
When the device is power on, put it into high level gas environment,
which is higher than the preset high alarm point of the device. If all
the device’s function is ok, then device can be used in the working
area.
Note:
 If any reading on the screen is beyond the prescribed display
error range, please follow Clause 5.7 and 5.8 of this manual to
re-calibrate it.
 If detector does not response or showing errors, please contact
the seller for repairing.
