Clearing Overloads 

 
 

If your PAS Vr. is overloaded, it will take a few minutes to recover.  Here is the 
procedure for rapid fuel cell recovery: 

 
 

[

1] PAS Sensor Off/Power On

 

Turn off the sensor by tapping and releasing the 
black sensor switch button but leave the power 
switch “ON” to speed recovery.

 

 

[2] Check in 5 Minutes

 

 

After 5 minutes, turn the sensor back on and check 
the PAS Vr. with an alcohol-free air sample.  If bars 
still  light  up  in  the  display  within  approximately  20 
seconds, repeat steps 1 and 2 as necessary until the 
overload has been completely cleared. 

 

[3] PAS Off

 

 

 

 

Turn off  the  sensor.    Your unit is now cleared and 
ready for use.
