TANKSCOPE
Type of Gas Meter: Tankscope

Manufacturer's Name: Reiken Keiki
Make/Model: 62T
S. No.: S6813
Type of Gases that can be measured: Hydrocarbon (by Vol.)
Calibration interval Atleast once annually/ Operation checks once b
Operation of Equipment:
Pre-Checks:
1 Check the Battery of the Equipment
- Open the cover and set the ON/OFF switch to "ON"
- Ready indicator should turn ON within approximately four seconds; if it does not turn ON,
2 Squeeze the aspirator bulb 8-10 times to purge the instrument with fresh air.
Note: Allow the bulb to completely inflate after each squeeze; if doesn’t deflate withibn fo
3 Lift and adjust ZERO control to obtain a zero indication on meter.
Gas Measuremnt:
4 In the area to be tested, squeeze the aspirator bulb 7-8 times to draw the sample into the

TANKSCOPE
Type of Gas Meter: Explosimeter
Manufacturer's Name: MSA
Make/Model: 2A
S. No.: 130515
Type of Gases that can be measured: Hydrocarbon (% LEL)
Calibration interval Atleast once annually/ Operation checks once b
Operation of Equipment:
Pre-Checks:
1 Lift the end of the rheostat knob ''ON-OFF"Bar and turn the rheostat knob one quarter tur
- Flush fresh air through the instrument.
- Adjust rheostat knob until meter pointer rests at zero
Gas Measuremnt:
- The explosimeter is now ready for operation.
- Place end of sampling line at the point where the sample is to be taken
- Readjust meter pointer to zero if necessary by turning the rheostat knob
- Aspirate sample through instrument until highest reading is obtained
-
Approx 5 squeezes of the bulb are sufficient to give max deflection . If a
sampling line is used add 2 squeezes for each ten (10 ) feet of line.
- A deflection of the meter pointer between zero and 100%
