1. Pre-Use
The F8100 is supplied with a mounting plate which enables the instrument to be wall mounted at the
most suitable location to test your breathing-air / compressed-air supply. The test location needs to
be as close to the breathing-air supply point as possible, in a well ventilated area free from dust and
with a 230V mains power supply available. To install the back plate mark the hole locations on the
wall and check with a spirit level. Ensure you use the correct fixings to suit the wall.
Once you have installed the back plate mount the F8100 in place and connect the power supply. It is
important the unit is free from vibration during use. The F8100 Safe-Air Monitor requires a
230V/1ph/50Hz mains power supply.
The maximum compressed air supply pressure for the F8100 Safe-Air Monitor is 10 barg. If the
instrument is intended for use on a high pressure system contact Factair for advice on suitable
regulators and connection arrangements.
2. Start-Up
To turn the instrument on press and hold the “on” button, located on the right-hand side of the unit,
for approximately 3 seconds.
A stylus pen is provided for use with the touch
screen. The display will show the calibration
date, serial number and check the status of
each sensor. Once each sensor status has been
checked follow the touch screen prompt on
screen to proceed.
The compressed-air supply can then be
connected to the instrument
(minimum 2 barg, maximum 10 barg).
