Failure to follow can result in serious personal
injury or death.
Do not use this detector to sample for oxygen in
gases other than air.
Perform an alarm function check and a response
check before each day's use. If the instrument
fails either check, the instrument must be taken
out of service.
Recheck response and alarm function if the
instrument is subjected to physical shock.
The instrument is factory sealed and contains
no user serviceable parts. Substitution of
components may impair intrinsic safety.
This unit contains a lithium battery; dispose of
properly.
Do not rely on the vibrating alarm (if equipped) in
cold tempuratures (<
0
°C) as the vibrating alarm
may cease to operate under these conditions.
To prevent sensor damage, store the instrument
under the following conditions:
Intermittent

Activating the PULSAR Detector
The unit must be activated before it can be used
to warn the user of a potentially hazardous
condition.
·
To activate the personal protection
instrument, press and hold the TEST button
for
3
seconds. The instrument will indicate
the initialization sequence by counting up
1
,
2
,
3
…on the display.
·
The instrument will then perform a
99
second activation countdown.
·
Calibrate instrument in fresh air immediately
after activation to adjust to ambient
conditions.
Once activated, the instrument will remain active
until the months remaining counter reaches
0
or
a low battery error occurs.
PULSAR Alarms
There are two alarm setpoints in the instrument.
Refer to your instrument for your factory-set
alarm points. The instrument is factory
configured with EITHER one oxygen enrichment
and one oxygen depletion alarm OR two oxygen
depletion alarms.
1
. If the gas concentration reaches or falls
below the first depletion alarm setpoint
(depletion-depletion configuration) or
reaches and exceeds the enrichment alarm
setpoint (enrichment-depletion configuration):
·
the instrument will display and flash
"Lo" on the LCD and enter a low alarm
sequence.
·
The low alarm can be silenced for five
seconds by pushing the TEST button or
it will automatically clear once the
oxygen level exceeds the setpoint
(oxygen depletion) or falls below the
alarm setpoint (oxygen enrichment)
2
. If the gas concentration reaches or falls
below the second depletion alarm setpoint
(depletion-depletion configuration) or
reaches or falls below the depletion alarm
setpoint (enrichment-depletion
configuration):
·
The instrument will display and flash
"Hi" on the LCD and enter a high alarm
sequence.
·
The high alarm can be silenced for five
seconds by pressing the TEST button or
it will automatically clear once the
oxygen level exceeds the setpoint
Refer to instrument markings for factory-set
alarm setpoints.
PULSAR Calibration
False oxygen alarms can occur due to changes in
barometric pressure (altitude changes) or
extreme changes in ambient temperature. The
PULSAR Detector is equipped with a feature to
allow calibration at pressure and/or temperature
of use. Be sure that the instrument is in known
fresh air before performing a
calibration.
To calibrate the oxygen sensor:
1
. Press and hold the TEST button for five seconds
·
the instrument displays "rc"
2
. Release the TEST button
3
. Immediately push and hold the TEST button
again for five seconds
4
. The display will count down from
5
to
1
5
. The instrument will calibrate the oxygen
sensor while “rc” flashes on display
6
. "dn" will be displayed to indicate a
successful calibration
7
. The instrument will return to normal mode.
If the oxygen sensor cannot be calibrated, "Er"
and "
6
" will alternately flash on the display. The
instrument must be removed from service.
PULSAR Function Checks
Confidence Flash
The alarm lights will flash approximately every
30
seconds to indicate that the PULSAR Detector
is operating.
Alarm Test
(Check before each day's use)
If the TEST button is momentarily pressed, a
one-second test of the alarms must occur. This
test includes testing the:
·
display
·
alarm lights
·
vibrator (if installed)
·
horn
Time Remaining
(Check before each
day's use)
After the alarm test, the PULSAR Detector's
remaining operating time (in months) will be
displayed for nine seconds.
·
The months remaining (
24
to
0
months).
·
When the months remaining reaches zero,
the instrument must be taken out of
service. The instrument will remain active
until the TEST button is pushed three more
times or until four days have elapsed,
whichever comes first. After this, the
instrument's alarm LEDs will light and the
display will alternate between "Er" and "
10
".
The instrument will no longer warn of
hazardous gas concentrations and must be
removed from service.
The alarm can be silenced by pushing the
TEST button.
The time remaining display will decrement faster
if the instrument experiences alarms or the test
feature is used more than approximately two
minutes per day.
Response Check
(Check before each day’s use)
To ensure proper operation of the PULSAR
Detector, it must be gas checked daily. To
perform a response check:
·
Connect one end of the calibration tubing
to the response check cylinder and the
other end to the sensor inlet on the PULSAR
Detector.
·
Turn on the cylinder valve. The display must
indicate an alarm and the alarm lights, horn
and vibrator (if installed) must activate.
Remove the gas, close the valve and reset
the alarm.
Gas Reading Display
Following the operating time remaining, the
current oxygen reading in %O2 is displayed in
the following format:
· “rd” will be displayed for 1 second followed by
· The oxygen reading for 5 seconds
o
If reading is >1.0% O2, for example,
20.8% O2, the “20”, “8” will toggle on
the LCD
o
If reading is <1.0% O2, for example, 0.5%
O2, then “”,”5” will toggle on the LCD
Software Version
To view the software revision of the instrument,
press and hold the TEST button for three seconds
during the months remaining period. The instru-
ment will display "rE" for
0
.
5
seconds, followed by
the revision of the software (
1
-
99
) for
1
.
5
seconds.
Low Battery
Should the PULSAR Detector's battery become
too low to operate the instrument:
· the alarm lights will light
· the horn will sound
· the display will alternate between "Er" and "11".
The battery has sufficient capacity to power the
instrument for two years with approximately
two minutes of alarms per day. Alarms beyond
two minutes per day, or excessive use of the Test
feature, may cause the battery alarm to occur
sooner than normal.
The alarm can be silenced by pushing the TEST
button.
Optional Clips
The PULSAR Detector is supplied with two
mounting clips. When choosing a clip, be sure
that the inlet to the sensor is not covered or
obscured by clothing, paper or anything else
that may prevent the sensor from being fully
exposed to the atmosphere being monitored.
