1.1.2 Front View Control Panel

Local Digital Display

— During normal operation, displays the name and concentration of the

target gas. Also displays alarm messages and programming/calibration menus and information.

NOTE

The digital display is generic and used for all gases. Any display of gases other

than Methyl iodide are for reference for the instruction manual only.

Joystick

— Used for selecting and adjusting the built-in menus for alarm threshold settings,

relay state, alarm delay etc.

Alarm & Fault LED’s

— These LED’s illuminate when a gas concentration alarm or

instrument fault is detected.

Flowmeter

— This flow meter displays the flow rate to the sampling system in SCFH.



NOTE

–

The flow rate is factory set and is continuously regulated via a built-in flow sensor.

Flow rate is factory set for sampling distances up to 100 feet. Field adjustment should
not be required.
