DETECTOR RECORDS (LOGS)
During operation, the detector records all usage activity. These records can be downloaded from the detector via
the IR Link software and an IR Link or from the MGC Pump Dock.
The Event, Bump and Calibration Logs are always downloaded. The user may also choose to download different
amounts of the data log to reduce the transfer time. Partial data logs contain approximately 1 weeks’ worth
of data. New data log downloads will only contain the data since the last download. Full log downloads will
download the entire data log, typically at least 2 months’ worth of data.
Event Log
The detector stores the last 25 alarm events. These are organized by first in, first out (FIFO) so the 26th event will
replace the first event, and so on. The detector records the alarm conditions for each event:
• Date and time at start of event
• Duration of the alarm condition
• Each sensor’s peak alarm status and reading
Bump Log
The detector stores the last 25 alarm events. These are organized by first in, first out (FIFO) so the 26th event will
replace the first event and so on. Bump tests are differentiated from normal events when the alarm condition
occurs inside of the MGC Pump Dock, or when the detector is manually bump tested according to the Manual
Bump Test Instructions. The detector records the bump status for each test:
• Date and time of bump test
• Whether the test was performed manually or in an MGC Pump Dock
• Each sensor’s peak alarm status and reading
• The result of each sensor’s bump test
• If the detector is displaying "BUMP DUE", the detector is either due for a bump test or has failed its last bump
test
Calibration Log
The detector records the last 25 calibration attempts. These are organized by first in, first out (FIFO) so the 26th
calibration will replace the first calibration and so on. Each calibration attempt will be recorded:
• Date and time of calibration
• Each sensor’s gas calibration concentration
• Each sensor’s calibration success status
• If the detector is displaying "CAL DUE", the detector is either due for a calibration because of a scheduled
interval
Data Logs
The detector records its current operational status every second. The logging interval cannot be adjusted, but the
detector compresses the data to reduce the storage and transfer times of redundant records. The typical logging
capacity is at least 2 months of data. The following items are recorded into the log:
• Date and time
• Sensor readings and status conditions
• All user and sensor options
• Events (i.e. turn on or off)
