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 Display
Detail
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: The
unit emits one audible beep; all LEDs light up; the unit
vibrates; 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 Calibration
Station Dock configuration options.
Factory Standard Alarm Set Points are:
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, displaying a check mark in place of where
the test icon was previously displayed, and one 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 from 8-20 hours. See the IR Link Quick
Reference Guide for details.
