A series of dashes appear in the display if one of the following occur: 

 the Heat Index or Humidex is outside of its allowable range 

 the temperature is outside of its allowable range 

 a temperature sensor has failed 

 stay times temperatures are outside of the their defined range 

 

STAY TIME DATA 

The screen(s) displaying stay time data appear different for each of the 
possible indices. 
 
If ACGIH is selected, the recommended working minutes per hour are shown 

for each of the workload 
categories Light (L), Moderate 
(M), Heavy (H), and Very Heavy 
(VH). 

 
If the Navy Phels are selected, the recommended working hours are shown 

based on a maximum of eight 
hours.  Three screens are used to 
display the PHELs two at time.  
8:01 following one of the PHELs 
indicates greater than eight hours. 

 
If EPRI is selected, the recommended working hours are shown based on a 

maximum of four hours.  Working 
hours for Light (L) , Moderate 
(M), and Heavy (H) workload 
categories are shown.  4:01 
indicates greater than four hours.

7.  DATA LOGGING 

 

Data from each sensor is recorded at the interval set by the logging rate.  Every time 
RUN STOP is pressed, a session is either started or ended in memory.  Each 
session contains a header with time, date, and summary information. 
 
MEMORY TABLE:  Gives the number of logging DAYS.

8.  PRINTING  
 

The recorded data can be sent to a computer through the serial RS232 port or to a 
parallel printer.  Serial transmission requires Quest cable #54-715.  Parallel 
transmission requires Quest cable #56-875.  With the cable plugged in, select 
PRINT from the menu and press the I/O ENTER key to enter the PRINT mode.  
Begin printing by pressing the I/O ENTER key.  Press the key again to abort 
printing. 
 

 

SERIAL 

QuestSuite

TM

 software is recommended for downloading, storing, and 

graphing your data.  Communications programs such as Window’s 
Hyperterminal may also be used to capture the printout into a file.  The baud 
rate is fixed at 9600. 
 

PARALLEL 

Data can be sent directly to parallel printers that accept direct ASCII test input 
without special drivers.  Make sure the printer is powered on and is ONLINE, 
ready to accept data, prior to printing.
