BATTERY INDICATOR/LOW BATTERY SHUTDOWN
A flashing LED during normal operation also reflects the battery level:
•
Green:
Batteries are fresh.
•
Orange:
Batteries are low and should be changed.
If the batteries are nearly empty, the LED will turn solid red and a two-tone
alarm will be noted for 5 seconds, before STARTEK-C will power itself off.
RECALIBRATION
When the STARTEK-C is turned on, the unit automatically calibrates the
sensor for maximum sensitivity. Occasionally, the signal from the sensor
may drift (especially if moving from one location to another where the
ambient humidity changes), causing a continuous alarm that will not clear. In
this case, simply power the unit off and on again, or use the following
recalibration procedure:
To recalibrate the unit:
1.
Move the unit away from any suspected leaks and into fresh air.
2.
Quickly press the button four (4) times. This must be done within one
second.
3.
The LED will flash rapidly for about 10 seconds, indicating
recalibration.
4.
The unit will return to normal operation in the high sensitivity mode.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
1.
Turn the power off.
2.
Remove the battery cover from the back of the instrument by pressing
down while simultaneously sliding the cover back.
3.
Insert 2 size ‘AA’ alkaline batteries.
4.
Slide battery cover back into place.
SENSOR
A STARTEK-C sensor should last many hundreds of hours of continuous
operation. A failed or failing sensor will be indicated by a continuous “siren”
sound. In addition, it is recommended that the sensor be replaced yearly
for optimum performance.
