ZAVEDENÍ
The FORENSICS DETECTORS Basic Ammonia Gas Detector is made to be a workhorse with its easy one-button operation. The detector is constructed with a high-quality electrochemical sensor and comes factory-calibrated. Ammonia is a toxic gas that requires continuous detection to ensure wellness for human occupants and your livestock, particularly in occupational spaces and farms. For livestock, here are some important Ammonia levels to consider:
| Levels (ppm) | Efekty | Zvíře | Poznámky |
| < 10 ppm | Ideal exposure limit | All livestock | Less than 10 ppm is the ideal limit for exposure |
| 10-20 ppm | Levels in ventilated buildings with liquid manure systems | All livestock | Typical ammonia levels with liquid manure systems |
| 10 ppm | Trachea irritation | krůty | Trachea irritation was shown in turkeys |
| 20 ppm | Increased susceptibility to Newcastle disease | Drůbež | > 20 ppm, increased rate of infection of Newcastle disease was found |
| 20-25 ppm | Increased susceptibility to secondary challenges, decreased feed efficiency, tissue damage | Drůbež | Exposure to 20–25 ppm throughout production can result in increased susceptibility to secondary challenges, decreased feed efficiency and tissue damage |
| 25 ppm | Maximum suggested exposure limit before harmful effects | All livestock | Best to keep less than 25ppm. |
| 30 ppm | Causes local and systemic low- grade inflammation | Laying hens | Systemic low-grade inflammation based on its levels and exposure durations |
| 50 ppm | Levels in buildings with solid floors where manure & urine exist | All livestock | Levels can exceed 50 ppm with lower winter ventilation rates |
| > 50 stran za minutu | Increased keratoconjunctivitis and tracheitis | Drůbež | > 50 ppm, increased levels of keratoconjunctivitis and tracheitis observed |
| > 100 stran za minutu | Significantly increased mortality | Kuřátka | At above 100 ppm, the chick mortality was increased significantly |
| >100-200 ppm | Levels found in poorly ventilated buildings | All livestock | Levels can reach 100 to 200 ppm in poorly ventilated buildings |
Poultry manure contains twice as much ammonia as dairy cattle manure. In order of greatest ammonia manure content to least is: chickens, pigs, dairy cows, and beef cows. Ammonia levels are typically 5–18 ppm in confinement swine barns, 3–8 ppm in open dairy barns, and 10–100 ppm in confined poultry facilities.

QUICK START – AMMONIA Detection
- Turn ON the detector. After device self-test the unit is READY.
- Start measuring. Real-time measurements are shown on the HOME screen in ppm concentration. PPM stands for “parts per million”.
- Move the sensor slowly at a inspection site. Ammonia gas levels will be shown on the display.
- The unit will flash GREEN LED in normal operating mode. When the alarm has triggered, RED LED will flash rapidly.
- By pressing the left or right button you can toggle between instantaneous levels (left image) and time series bar graph (right image).

The alarm record of the equipment includes alarm trigger events. The alarm record stamps the alarm trigger time, alarm type, gas type, alarm point, the starting value of gas concentration triggering the alarm, the maximum value of gas concentration after triggering the alarm, and the duration of the alarm.
Low Value: When the gas concentration exceeds this value, a low alarm will be triggered.
High Value: When the gas concentration exceeds this set value, a high alarm will be triggered.
Low Backlash: The low alarm hysteresis is a parameter that prevents frequent toggling of the alarm due to fluctuations near the low alarm value. A low alarm is triggered when the gas concentration exceeds the set value, but it will only be cleared when the concentration drops below the set value minus the low backlash value. For example, if the low alarm value is 80ppm and the low backlash is 5ppm, the alarm will only clear when the concentration drops below 75ppm.
High Backlash: A parameter that prevents frequent toggling of the alarm due to fluctuations near the high alarm value. A high alarm is triggered when the gas concentration exceeds the set value, but it will only be cleared when the concentration drops below the set value minus the high backlash value. For example, if the high alarm value is 90ppm and the high backlash is 5ppm, the high alarm will only clear when the gas concentration reaches 85ppm.
Co je KALIBRACE?
Your FD-92-AMMONIA comes already calibrated. However, calibration is an important function to be performed to ensure your gas detector operates accurately. We recommend annual calibration. Accuracy and Calibration drift can happen over time because of chemical degradation of sensors and the natural drift in electronic components. There are two parts to the calibration, ZERO Calibration and SPAN Calibration.
NULOVÁ KALIBRACE: Ensures a good baseline to ZERO target gas exposure. This ensures the detector reads a true ZERO. At times you may experience the unit is not reading exactly ZERO in fresh air. In this case, you can perform a ZERO calibration to readjust the ZERO point. Select ZERO and press Enter.
KALIBRACE ROZSAHU: Ensures accurate gas concentration reading in ppm. To undertake a span calibration, you need ammonia calibration reference gas, a gas regulator and tubing. This is a detailed and technical procedure and best described via our YouTube step by step tutorial found on our website under the main Calibration menu, then select FD-92.
Co je Bump Testing?
Bump testing is a quick procedure to expose the gas detector to a small amount of “blast” target gas to ensure the detector operates and alarms as programmed. The function of this test is to verify detection operation and build user confidence, particularly in hazardous and critical user applications. Recommended to bump test when first purchased and unpacking detector and before use. You can do this by exposing the gas detector to ammonia bump gas.
The system settings menu helps you adjust certain parameters of the gas detector for customization and a better user experience. Options include:
Datum a čas: Adjust the date and time to your local settings.
Zobrazit: Change screen brightness and auto sleep settings.
Oznámení: Toggle options for light, vibrator, and buzzer operation.
Obnovení továrního nastavení: ONLY do this if confirmed by our technical team.
Some basic gas detector information that may be required for identification and troubleshooting.
Informace o zařízení: Includes device name, software version, hardware version, and product ID.
Operational Status: Obsahuje baterii objtage, charge status, temperature, sensor ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), boot status, and uptime.
BATERIE SE NABÍJÍ
The FD-92-AMMONIA has a built-in lithium battery and can be charged via Type C USB cable. USB Charger should be rated >1.0A for fast charging.
Before charging, TURN OFF the analyzer to avoid any potential damage.
Charging takes about 4 hours. When active in charging, an animated battery icon will appear to indicate charging is in progress. When done, “Charging Complete” will appear.
MĚŘENÍ
Monitorování plynu: When the analyzer is in the ON state, it is presenting the live, continuously ammonia gas sensor concentration readings. The data displayed updates twice per second. Walk slowly from location to location to obtain various indoor ammonia gas concentration levels. To get a true reading, ensure unit is stationary for at least 2 minutes in one location. Beware, that ventilation and height can impact an ammonia reading, and rarely will one obtain consistent results.
Maximální koncentrace: When you have reached the maximum detection limit of the sensor, it will read “100”. When this occurs, seek fresh air otherwise the sensor can be damaged and poisoned.
Alarmující: The analyzer has LED, BUZZER and VIBRATION alarm modes.
These can be disabled.
VAROVÁNÍ
- Read, understand, and adhere to all instructions to ensure safe operation – failure to comply may result in serious injury or death from explosive gases.
- Incorrect calibration in contaminated areas may result in false readings.
- Do not store the detector with water, solvents, acids, or corrosive substances – avoid extreme temperatures, high humidity, electromagnetic fields, and intense sunlight.
- If detecting gas or feeling unwell, immediately evacuate the area and seek fresh air.
- Follow instructions carefully as the detector is highly sensitive to ensure accurate readings and personal safety.
- Ensure the analyzer is stored in a room temperature environment with moderate humidity, not exceeding 95%RH with no mechanical vibration.
- Ensure the environment is not corrosive, no chemical vapors.
