Option Menu
The Option Menu is accessed by pressing the Power/Menu Button once during the “SHOW OPTION” prompt. The
detector will display in the following order:
1.
FW VER
– the current firmware version
2.
TWA
- the set alarm limits for Time Weighted Average
3.
STEL
- the set alarm limits for Short Term Exposure Limit
4.
LOW
- the set alarm limits
5.
HIGH
- the set alarm limits
Firmware Version
- It is recommended to use the most current firmware version available. The most current firmware
version can be easily downloaded from the Resources page of the GCT website at www.gascliptech.com. Firmware can
be installed using the GCT IR Link or MGC Simple Clip Dock.
Alarm Set Points
- The current alarm limits for TWA, STEL, LOW and HIGH will be displayed in sequence. Set points can
be adjusted using the GCT IR Link or MGC Simple Clip Dock (see
Adjustable Options
section, page 7).
ADJUSTABLE OPTIONS
The following options can be configured using the GCT IR Link or MGC Simple Clip Dock:
User ID/Message
- An optional, user-programmable, text message containing up to 46 alpha-numeric characters can be used
to show company branding, a detector identifier or any other pertinent information. The User ID/Message will be displayed right
after the date and time each time the Main Menu is accessed. Default User ID/Message is "GAS CLIP TECHNOLOGIES".
Alarm Limits
- This option allows you to set sensor low and high alarm limits. Each sensor contains separate alarm threshold
values that tell the detector when to go into alarm.
Caution: Confirm alarm levels with local laws/regulations before operation .
SAFE Display
- If Safe Display is enabled, screen will display “SAFE” as long as there are no gas or detector alerts.
Self-Test Lock
- If a sensor fails a self-test, the detector shows “Err” on the display and goes into high alarm. By default, the alarm
can be silenced by pressing the Power/Menu Button. The Self-Test Lock option prevents the alarm from being silenced.
Maintenance Notification
- If Maintenance Notification is enabled, the detector will periodically flash the maintenance LED
when a bump test or calibration is due. Otherwise, if the option is disabled, the detector will only show the maintenance text on
the display.
Dock Lock
- This option restricts bump tests and calibrations to only being able to be performed with MGC Simple Clip Docks.
Manual tests will not be able to be performed.
Latching Alarms
- Alarms are non-latching by default, therefore, once the gas readings fall back within the set limits after an
alarm condition, the detector will cease to alarm and return to normal operation. Latching alarms will hold the detector and its
display in its peak alarm condition until the Power/Menu Button is pressed.
Life Display
- If this option is enabled, screen will display "Life Remaining" as long as there are no gas alarms or detector alerts.
Off Lock
- This option prevents the user from deactivating the detector's sensors with the Power/Menu Button.
