This chapter describes the M2A-XL in normal operation. This chapter also describes the M2A-
XL in alarm 1, alarm 2, and fail conditions and suggests responses to these conditions.
Normal Operation

• The start-up procedure is complete.
• The M2A-XL is not indicating an alarm 1, alarm 2, or fail condition.
• The M2A-XL is not in Calibration, Configuration, or Gas Type modes.
During normal operation, the M2A-XL simultaneously displays the current gas reading, unit of

information. To display the Information Screen, do the following:
1. Press and hold the DOWN/NO button for 3 seconds. The Information Screen will appear.
2. Continue holding the DOWN/NO button to keep the Information Screen on the display. The
top line indicates the operating voltage that is connected to the M2A-XL. The second line
