WARNING
Remove the monitor at the end of the shift, turn
it off, and store it in a clean environment. At the
beginning of each shift, turn on the monitor and
make sure it is fully functional before installing it
in the helmet. Failure to do so could result in CO
poisoning and death.

inside the helmet.
WARNING
Remove the monitor at the end of the shift, turn

2.2
Turning ON and Startup Procedure
This section explains how to startup the CMS-4 and to
prepare it for operation.
2.2.1
Press and hold the POWER/MODE button until the
alarm beeps.
2.2.2
The monitor goes though the warm-up
sequence: all LCD segments turn on, backlight turns on,
and instrument beeps and vibrates. It then cycles
through calibration status, date/time, remaining battery
life, target gas, and alarm setpoint screens.
2.2.3
After the warm-up sequence, the monitor goes
into Measuring Mode (normal operating mode). It beeps,
the LCD screen (as shown in Figure 8) shows CO,
remaining battery life, a pulsing heart symbol (indicating
the monitor is in normal operating status), CO
concentrations (ppm), and the date and time (when set
per Section 2.3).
WARNING
If the monitor is in low battery warning, change
the battery as soon as possible. Do not use the
respirator if the dead battery warning is alarmed.
The monitor does not detect carbon monoxide
when it is in dead battery alarm, which can result
in death if carbon monoxide is present.
2.3
Setting the Date and Time ‒ Figure 7
NOTE: When using the CMS-4 for the first time, check
the current time and verify that it is correct for your time
zone. If it is not, set the time as follows:
As seen from inside the hood,
the strip is inserted into the
groove in the window gasket.
Attach Velcro
®
hook tape to
the inside of the strip. Make
sure the monitor’s LED lights
are visible when the helmet is
donned.
