Monitoring Toxic Gases

The device can monitor the concentration of the following toxic gases in ambient air:

• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
• Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
• Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

The device displays the gas concentration in parts per million (PPM) or mg/m3 on the Normal Operations page until another page is selected or the device is turned off.

WARNING! 

If an alarm activates while using the device, leave the area immediately.Remaining in the area under such circumstances can cause serious personal injury or death.

 

The device has four gas alarms for each toxic gas:

• HIGH Alarm
• LOW Alarm
• STEL Alarm
• TWA Alarm

If the gas concentration reaches or exceeds the alarm set point, the device:

• backlight turns on
• triggers a vibrating alarm
• displays and flashes the Alarm symbol and either the Minimum icon (LOW alarm) or the Maximum (PEAK) icon (HIGH alarm)
• enters an alarm state.

When a gas reading exceeds the full scale range of the sensor, the device displays "+ + +" in place of the actual reading.

When a gas reading falls below a defined under-range threshold, the device displays " - - -" in place of the actual reading.
