4. When you have scrolled through all the adjustable parameters, 

SAVE IT? YES/NO

 appears on the display.

5. If you do not wish to save the adjustments and want to exit Configuration Mode, press and release the 

DOWN/NO button. The 

DO OVER? YES/NO

 message will display. Press and release the DOWN/NO 

button. The 

ABORT? YES/NO 

message will display. Press the UP/YES button to return to normal 

operation.

If you wish to change some of the adjustments made, press and release the DOWN/NO button. The 

DO 

OVER? YES/NO

 message will display. Press and release the UP/YES button. The 

Re-do Config

 message 

will display and the M2A will return to the first adjustable parameter. Go back to step 3 and continue.

If you wish to save the adjustments made, press and release the UP/YES button. 

Config Saved

 is indicated 

on the display for a few seconds and the M2A returns to normal operation.

ZeroSupp
(2 ppm)

The zero suppression feature helps prevent “jumpy” readings near the 
fresh air reading.
For example, if the zero suppression is 

2.0 ppm,

 the M2A will display a 

reading of 0 ppm for gas readings from -2 ppm to 2 ppm. It is settable 
from 0 to 6% of the detection range.

FILTER
(5 secs)

The filter feature helps “smooth out” jumpy or noisy signals from the 
detector. You can set the filter from 0 seconds to 60 seconds in 5 seconds 
increments.
The displayed gas reading is the average reading over the previous time 
period defined by the filter setting. So if the filter is set to 5 seconds, the 
displayed gas reading is the average over the past 5 seconds.

CAL Time
(15 mins)

The calibration time-out sets the amount of time after the last button 
push while in Calibration Mode that the M2A will wait before returning 
to normal operation. If the calibration time-out is set to 

15 mins

, then 

M2A will return to normal operation automatically 15 minutes after the 
last button push.

Auto Zero
(Enabled)

If set to 

Enabled

, the M2A’s firmware will monitor the zero (fresh air) 

reading and make automatic zero adjustments under precisely specified 
conditions if it determines that a reading change is due to normal sensor 
drift.
If set to 

Disabled

, the Auto Zero function is turned off.
