G-TECTA™ 4GP – Product Features
Operation
Switching on
The G-TECTA™ 4GP is designed to be very easy to
operate. Please follow these simple steps to ensure
your instrument is ready for use:
Step 1
Ensure the instrument is in clean air.
Step 2
Press and hold the mode button for approximately
2 seconds until the red LED flashes on the
instrument. The display screen will light up and
the instrument will begin its start up sequence.
G-TECTA™ 4GP Start-Up Sequence
The instrument will test the alarm LEDs, the alarm
sounder, the vibration alarm and the display screen.
The sounder may be silenced by pressing the mode
button once.
The instrument will continue through a start up sequence
as shown below, this will take approximately 45 seconds.
During the start up sequence, check the battery
display to ensure you have enough charge to use
the instrument.
Note: During the start up sequence the next
calibration date will be displayed.
If the calibration due date has expired, the
G-TECTA™ 4GP instrument will display a warning
message that calibration is due. As a default the
instrument can still function, however the G-TECTA™ 4GP
can be configured to automatically shut down using
G-TECTA™ PC software if required. The Linde Group
strongly recommends that instruments are calibrated
as soon as possible once the calibration date is due.
Auto Zero*
The Auto Zero function is enabled as a default
setting. During start-up, the instrument will display
Auto Zero and “????”. Press the mode button to
confirm the Auto Zero function.

Note: The instrument will time out in 10 seconds then
change to normal operating mode, without performing

that has failed (See the Troubleshooting section if
this occurs).
Switching Off
Press and hold the mode button for 5 seconds,
the display will count down until the display shows
OFF. If you release the mode button during the
countdown, the G-TECTA™ 4GP will return to normal
operating mode.
Instrument Storage
In order to optimise sensor performance and lifetime,
your G-TECTA™ 4GP instrument should be stored in a
safe, non-hazardous area. The area should be clean
and dry, between temperature ranges 0-30°C, and
at a humidity level of 20-90%RH.
Normal Operation and Confidence Signals
The instrument will display up to four gas readings
and each channel will display the gas types, units
and current readings.
Always check the gas type being monitored
by your instrument and ensure you have been
trained in your site health and safety procedures.
Screen Icons
Confidence Signals
To give you added confidence the instrument
is operating correctly, the G-TECTA™ 4GP will
(every 10 seconds):
1 Sound a short beep
2. Flash a blue LED
In addition the “3” icon will flash on the display.
Display Symbols
Battery
When the battery is fully charged, the battery icon
will show 6 black bars. When the battery is empty,
the battery icon flashes and the instrument will
sound warning beeps.
When the battery charge is
completely empty, G-TECTA™ 4GP will switch
off automatically.
Internal Pump
The revolving pump icon indicates that the internal
pump is operating. If the pump or airway becomes
blocked, the instrument will emit a warning sound and
will show an error message on the display. If a warning
is displayed, check the instrument, flow adaptor and
sample hose are free from dirt and water and that the
sample hose or probe is not kinked or blocked.
Note: To re-start the instrument, press the
mode button.
