Portable Gas Monitor (PGM-IR) Infrared Sensor Replacement

 

Instruction 3015-5508 (Rev 2)

 

6.  Adjust Power Level for IR Emitter  

 

Step 

 

Description 

23. 

 

To access the monitor’s set-up mode and display the IR emitter power adjustment 

screen, locate and view the Portable Monitor’s display. 

24. 

 

With the monitor in its MEASURE mode, press both the LEFT and RIGHT buttons 

simultaneously to display the FUNCTION MENU screen. 

25. 

 

With the monitor in its FUNCTION MENU, use the keypad buttons to place the arrow 

(>) on the display next to the DIAG (models 

with

 bladder bag) or CAL (models 

without

 bladder bag)  function.  

26. 

 

Press the RIGHT Arrow and ENTER buttons simultaneously to display the revision 

screen and access the FACTORY MENU. 

27. 

 

Press the ESC button to display FACTORY MENU. 

28. 

 

Use the keypad buttons to place the arrow (>) on “IR.”  Press the ENTER button to 

display the IR emitter adjustment screen. 

29. 

 

Change the IR emitter drive level to a value between 325 and 350 mW by using the 

UP/DOWN arrow keys (in newer models). 

 

 

 

 

If the 

R37

 pot (located on main PCB board) is present (in older models), change the 

drive level by adjusting 

R37

 clockwise. 

30. 

 

Press the ESC button and then proceed to the next section and adjust the DIGIPOT 

as necessary. 

 

7.  Adjust the IR Sensor Voltage 

Step 

 

Description 

 

31. 

 

With the arrow (>) next to the DIGIPOT function, 

press the ENTER button to display the IR sensor 

voltage adjustment screen. 

 

32. 

 

While observing the IR VOLT reading, use the Up/ 

Down Arrow buttons to obtain a reading of 

4.2 

±

 0.1 volts.  (The last two digits are largely 

unstable, so the tenths decimal place is the first 

"usable" digit).  Note that the DIGIPOT value may 

vary from what is shown in the display on the right.  

Press ENT to save the DIGIPOT value. 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT:

  If IR VOLT does not reach 4.2 volts by adjusting the digipot, then return to step 

23 to reduce the IR emitter power by 75 mW and repeat the DIGIPOT adjustment.
