SPM Flex Gas Detector
Operation
• Protection afforded by the SPM Flex gas detector may be impaired if it is not
used according to the manufacturer’s instructions�
• Operate two-way radios at least 18 inches (46 cm) from the detector�
• When the detector is in monitor mode and is moved between environments
with large differences in temperatures or humidity, condensation on the
optics may cause it to report a false low gas concentration reading� Allow the
detector to stabilize in the new environment before monitoring gas levels�
WARNING
!
Power
Before operation, verify that external power is present (the blue LED will be on)
or that the internal battery is charged� The physical power switch, located under
the Chemcassette access door, should be on� Typically, the physical switch is
left in the on position unless transporting/shipping the detector where there is a
possibility of it accidentally being turned on with the Power/cancel button�
When the detector’s startup sequence ends, an “In Monitor,” or “Out of Monitor”
display, depending on how it is configured in the Setup menu� The default startup
mode can be configured under Power Options (Setup/General)�
Most options will require acknowledgment (i�e�, pressing the Select button)�
Those that don’t will be displayed for 3 seconds� Pressing the Power/cancel
button briefly will return the user to the previous screen�
Do not power up the detector with a flash drive attached� Use the flash drive
only for configuration, maintenance, or data transfer (always out of monitor)�
CAUTION
!
To turn the detector off, hold the Power button for 5 seconds while on the main
display� This will bring up the power off options� Alternately, the power off mode
can be accessed via the menu� The user must have the appropriate security level
to access�
The detector can be used intermittently as long as the Chemcassette cartridge is
removed and stored according to manufacturer’s guidelines�
