Day to Day Usage
Prior to daily use, the detector will prompt the user to
perform a self-test this process is a simple and effective way
to ensure safe operation of the detector. During the self-test
the audio, visual, and vibrating alarms are activated and the
sensor is tested. Below is a step by step process for
performing the test:
Screen 1:
When the “Test” Icon appears in the
upper left hand corner, a self-test is
required. Press the button on the front
of the detector to perform the test.
Screen 2:
After pressing the button the following
screen will appear. During the self-test
ensure that the following occurs: (1)
The unit emits one audible beep, all
LED’s light up, and vibration. (2) All
LCD display elements appear.
Screen 3:
After the full element LCD screen, the
low alarm and high alarm set points will
be displayed. Note these alarm set
points can be adjusted using the IR
Link or Clip Dock configuration options.
Factory Standard Alarm Set Points:
H2S: Low 10 ppm / High 15 ppm
CO: Low 35 ppm / High 200 ppm
O2: Min 19.5% / Max 23.5%
Screen 7: (see Steps 4-6 for additional
screen displays)
When a self-test is successful the unit
will turn to the original screen and
display a check mark in place of where
the test icon was previously displayed
and one short audible beep will sound.
The unit will by default prompt another
“Self-test” in 20 hours from when the
button was pressed. Note this value
can be changed via the IR Link
software anywhere from 8 to 20 hours.
See the IR Link Quick Reference Guide
for further detail.
Additional Steps:
Above we outlined the most common screen configurations.
However if the unit has been programmed via the IR Link or
has been exposed to gas additional screens may appear
Screen 4 (If applicable): If programmed with a “User ID”,
after the alarm set points are displayed, a combination of
numbers and or letters will scroll across the screen. This will
be a max of 2 screens with a maximum character limit on the
“User ID” of 6 characters. The “User ID” can be
changed/modified via the IR Link software
Screen 5 (if applicable): If the detector has been exposed to
gas exceeding the low alarm set point a value will appear
with “max” next to it. This represents the peak value
(highest) that the detector has seen. After this screen there
will be another screen displaying a value with (hours, days,
or months) this represents the amount of time past since the
peak reading.
Screen 6 (if applicable): After the peak reading and time
since screens, a screen will appear with CLP. If the user
presses the button down while this is displayed, the peak
value on the detector will be reset. Note while the value will
be cleared on the display the value will be held in the
detector’s log. See the event log section for further details.
This value can be cleared on the next screen.
Failures/FAQ’s
If the self-test fails, the detector emits five short
beeps and flashes before displaying “Test”.
Repeat the self-test.
If the self-test fails three (3) consecutive times the
detector will enter a Fail Safe mode. Please
contact GCT for a replacement detector.
During normal operation, the battery is
continuously monitored. If the battery is low for
more than (3) hours the detector enters Fail Safe
mode.
If the battery self-test fails (5) consecutive times
the LCD will display “EO5”. In case of an EO5
screen discontinue use and contact GCT for a
replacement detector.
Along with the battery, the sensor is continuously
monitored during normal operation. If a problem
with the sensor is detected, the screen will display
“EO6”. In case of an EO6 screen, please
discontinue use and contact GCT for a
replacement detector.
If the detector is displaying “bUP”, the detector is
either due for a bump test because of a scheduled
test or has failed a bump test. Please refer to
“Bump Test Interval” for more detail.
If the detector is displaying “EOL” the unit has
reached the end of its operating life. Please
discontinue use.
