BASIC OPERATION
Button Usage
The following operations are driven by the Power/Menu Button located on the front of the detector:
• Turning on the detector
• Menu navigation
• Main Menu
• Status Menu
• Option Menu
• Bump testing
• Calibration/Auto Zero
• Retest
• Latched Alarm acknowledgment
• Back-light activation
• Off Mode
Turning On the Detector
Detector must be turned on in a known clean air environment.
Once activated, the detector will run continuously for 36 months. To activate, briefly hold down the Power/Menu
Button. The alarm bars will flash, the detector will vibrate and a start up tone will sound while the detector self-tests the
visual, vibrating and audible alarms. Each sensor will show a chasing “0” for the sensor reading while it is stabilizing and being
self-tested. Once all sensors have completed the warm up and stabilization sequence (~ 65 seconds), the detector is fully
operational and ready to detect all applicable gases.
Caution:
The detector should always be bump tested prior to operational use (see
Bump Testing
section, pages 9-11).
Caution:
The detector should be worn on a location within the breathing zone.
Off Mode
To power down the sensors for temporary storage or travel, hold down the Power/Menu Button throughout the AUTO ZERO,
RETEST and OFF count downs. Release the button when the "OFF OK" message appears. Sensors are now deactivated.
The screen will display "OFF" and the life remaining on the detector. To turn the detector back on, hold the power button
down briefly. To disable the Off Mode feature, use the Off Lock option (see
Adjustable Options
section, page 7).
NOTE: The Off Mode only deactivates the sensors, the life remaining clock continues to count down.
