User Manual

Alarms

The following table describes the detector alarms and corresponding
screens.

• During an alarm condition, the detector activates the backlight and

displays the current ambient gas reading.

• If more than one type or level of alarm exists simultaneously, a

multi alarm results.

• To change the factory-set alarm setpoints, refer to

Calibration and

Setting Alarm Setpoints
