Activating the Detector
Self-Test Fail
While the LCD displays
BUMPCHK todAY
, apply gas to the
detector or press
C
to deactivate the detector. If gas is
applied to the detector, the detector needs to enter alarm for
the bump check to be accepted. Once the bump check has
been accepted, the detector enters normal operation.
Once the detector enters normal operation, the LCD displays
which sensor has failed the self-test by displaying
Err
above
the target gas bar. (Refer to the
Troubleshooting
section.)
Bump Check Successful
If the bump check is successful, the detector enters normal
operation. The detector remains in alarm until the bump gas
dissipates. Verify that the audible and visual alarms are
functioning properly (refer to
Alarms
).
Self-Test Pass
Battery Test
If the detector passes the self-test, the detector begins
normal operation. The LCD displays the ambient gas
readings.
The battery is tested on activation and continuously
thereafter. A newly charged battery should operate for
10-12 hours typically before automatically shutting down. The
battery power is continually displayed during normal
operation. If the battery power is low,
flashes as the
detector emits one beep and one flash (LED) every 5
seconds.
Note
If the confidence beep is enabled, the audible alarm
beeps if the battery has sufficient power and stops if
the battery power is low. See the section,
Confidence Beep
.
The detector starts recording the maximum gas exposure
(MAX) and calculating the short-term exposure level (STEL)
and time-weighted average (TWA) exposures.
