Description, Specifications And Standard Equipment Description The RIDGID

micro CD-100 Combustible Gas Detector is a gas leak locating tool that is used to identify the presence of and isolate the source location of combustible gases such as methane, propane, butane, ammonia and others ( see page 5 for a more complete list) by indicating relative gas concentrations. Even low levels of com- bustible gas can be detected in seconds. The micro CD-100 detects gas concentrations through the use of an internal sensor. This sensor is heated during operation. As the heated sensor interacts with gases, the unit immediately indicates to the user that combustible gases are present. The micro CD-100 in- dicates the presence of combustible gases with visual, audio and vibration feedback mechanisms. There are five (5) threshold levels of measurement within two (Low and High) settings of sensitivity. *Sensitivity level may vary for other gases.Expected Sensor Life .....................5 Years Probe ............................................Flexible 16"/400mm Weight...........................................16 oz/450 grams Detected Gases

• Natural Gas typically consists of a high percentage of methane and smaller percentages of propane and other gases. micro CD-100 Combustible Gas Detector

Figure 4 – Removing Battery Compartment Cover Changing/Installing Batteries The micro CD-100 comes without the batteries installed. If the high sensitivity (yellow) and low sensitivity (white) lights are ON at the same time, this indicates that the batteries need to be replaced. Remove the batteries prior to long term storage or shipment to pre- vent battery leakage. Never change batteries in the presence of combustible gases to reduce the risk of explosions, fires and other serious injury.

1. Depress the battery compartment cover catch

(See Figure 4) and remove the cover. If needed, remove batteries.

2. Install four AA alkaline batteries (LR6), observing correct polar-

ity as indicated in the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover. Confirm securely at-

4. Confirm battery cover clasp is locked.

(Figure 5) Figure 5 – Battery Cover Clasp Pre-Operation Inspection WARNING Before each use, inspect your micro CD-100 and correct anyproblems to reduce the risk of injury or incorrect measure-ments.

1. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from equipment. This aids inspec-

2. Inspect the micro CD-100 for any broken, worn, missing, mis-

aligned or binding parts, or any other condition which may pre- vent safe and normal operation.

3. Check that the warning labels are present, firmly attached and

readable. (See Figure 6.)

4. If any issues are found during the inspection, do not use the

micro CD-100 until it has been properly serviced. 5. Following the Set-Up and Operation instructions, turn ON andAlways turn on and calibrate the gas detector in an areaknown to be free of combustible gases. Calibration in an areacontaining combustible gas will result in incorrect calibrationand lower than actual readings. This could result in com-bustible gases not being detected.Set up and Operate the gas detector according to these proce-dures to reduce the risk of fire, explosions and serious injuryand incorrect measurements.

1. Check for an appropriate work area as indicated in the

General Safety Section

2. Determine the application and confirm that you have the cor-

rect equipment. See the Specifications section for information on sensitivity, gases detected and other information.

3. Make sure that all equipment has been properly inspected.

4. In an area where combustible gases are known to not be pres-

ent, turn on the gas detector by pressing and releasing the ON/OFF button. For one second the gas detector will vibrate, beep, and the first level red light will come on to indicate that the unit is ON. The gas detector then starts an approximately 50 second sensor heat up and calibration, during which the first level red light is blinking. Once the calibration is complete, for one second, all level lights will flash, and if the audible and vibration alerts are ON, the unit will beep and vibrate. Then either the high (yellow) or low (white) light will be ON. If the high (yellow) and low (white) sen- sitivity lights are ON at the same time, this indicates that the batteries need to be replaced. If all display lights are ON, this indicates that the sensor has failed and that the unit needs to be serviced. If the gas detector is left ON for more than five minutes with no activity, it will automatically shut OFF to conserve the batteries.

5. The Audible Alert and Vibration Alert retain the previous state

the detector was last in and can be turned ON or OFF if de- calibrate the gas detector. Once calibration is complete use a combustible gas source (such as an unlit lighter), to confirm that the gas detector senses the gas. If the gas detector does not sense the gas, do not use the unit until it has been properly serviced. Remove the gas source and allow several minutes for the sensor to stabilize prior to use. Figure 6 – Warning Labels Set-Up and Operation WARNING High concentrations of combustible gases can cause explo-sions, fires, asphyxia and other hazards that could cause se-rious personal injury or death. Know the characteristics of thegas you are working with and use proper precautions to avoidhazardous conditions.Do not use the micro CD-100 Combustible Gas Detector as aconfined space or personal safety device. This could cause se-rious personal injury. The micro CD-100 does not specificallyidentify the combustible gas type or exact concentration. micro CD-100 Combustible Gas Detector 8micro CD-100 Combustible Gas Detector

any time by pressing the High Sensitivity (H) or Low Sensitiv- ity (L) buttons. If locating a leak, use the gas detector to find areas of lower gas concentration and follow back to the source. In a piping system, trace the system, stopping at the joints to monitor the gas levels.

7. When gas detection is complete, turn the micro CD-100 OFF

by pressing the ON/OFF button. Maintenance Cleaning Do not immerse the micro CD-100 in water. Wipe off dirt with a damp soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solu- tions. Treat the instrument as you would a telescope or camera. Sensor Calibration/Replacement The micro CD-100 requires no calibration other than that done at regular start up. If the sensor should fail, the sensor (Catalog Part #31948) can be replaced by a RIDGID Independent Authorized Service Center. Storage The RIDGID micro CD-100 Combustible Gas Detector must be stored in a dry secure area between -10°C (14°F) and 60°C (158°F). Store the tool in a locked area out of the reach of children and peo- ple unfamiliar with the micro CD-100. Remove the batteries before any long period of storage or shipping to avoid battery leakage. sired. Press and release the Audible Alert button to turn it ON and OFF. The gas detector will beep once when the Audible Alert is turned ON and OFF. Press and release the Vibration Alert button to turn it ON and OFF. The gas detector will vibrate twice when turning the Vibration Alert ON and vibrate once when turning the Vibration Alert OFF.

6. Enter the area to be monitored. Pay close attention to the gas

level indicators (see Table 1). As gas levels increase, more red level lights will come on and the frequency of the Audible Alert beeping and the Vibration Alert vibration will increase. See Table 1 for information on methane concentration levels and gas detector feedback. Table 1 – Gas Detector Feedback For Methane Concentration Levels

• Gas Concentration levels may differ depending on the specific gas detected When the gas detector is turned ON it is in whatever sensitiv- ity state it was last in. In the low sensitivity setting, the lowest concentration of methane detected is 400 ppm. Switch the sen- sitivity to the high setting by pressing the high sensitivity button (H). This will be indicated by the yellow light in the bottom right of the display. In the high sensitivity setting, the gas detector is ten times more sensitive, with the lowest concentration of methane detected at 40 ppm.
