DETECTOR RECORDS (LOGS)
Event Log
By default the detector stores the last twenty-five (25) alarm events. The system stores events by first in first out, i.e. the
26th event will replace the first event and so on. This information can be downloaded using the GCT IR Link. For each
alarm event the detector records the following:
• The detector serial number
• Bump Test (Yes or No)
• Life remaining on the detector
• Number of self-tests performed
• Number of events
• Alarm Condition (Low, High, or OL)
• Specific event date and time
• Peak gas concentration in ppm or %
