Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The GasAlertClip Extreme gas detector (“the detector”) is a personal safety device that warns when hazardous gas exceeds factory set alarm setpoints. The detector stores and transmits gas alarm event data. It is your responsibility to respond properly to the alarm.

a Safety Information - Read First

Warning: Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety. Warning: To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible

atmospheres, disconnect power before servicing.

⇒ Do not activate the detector after the date on the package. ⇒ This product is a gas detector, not a measurement device. ⇒ Perform a self-test each day prior to use. ⇒ Make sure the sensor grill is free of dirt and debris. ⇒ Make sure the sensor grill is not covered. ⇒ Periodically test the sensor’s response to gas by exposing the

detector to a target gas concentration that exceeds the low alarm setpoint. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated.

⇒ Periodically calibrate the GasAlertClip Extreme O

Pushbutton Description

• To turn on the detector, press and hold C for 5 seconds.

• Press C within 24 hours of receiving a gas alarm to view the maximum gas exposure.

• When Test is displayed, press and hold

approximately 1 second to activate the self-test.

• To calibrate the GasAlertClip Extreme O and hold C for approximately 3 seconds.

• To display the gas alarm setpoints, press C.

• To transmit the data press C when Prn and

Activating the Detector

Press and hold C for 5 seconds.

Note: Once activated, the detector cannot be turned off. Note: The detector will not respond to gas for approximately 30 seconds

after the self-test.

The detector performs the actions in steps 1-5. Manually check that all the actions occur.

1. The detector emits one beep, one flash, and one vibration.

2. The detector sets the life-remaining clock.

3. All LCD elements are displayed.

4. Test flashes while the sensor integrity and battery life are tested.

5. The low and high alarm setpoints are displayed.

Self-Test Pass

• The detector emits a short beep and a single vibration. is displayed.

•

• Twenty hours after running the self-test, Test is displayed.

Self-Test Fail

• The detector emits five short beeps.

• Test continues to be displayed.

Repeat the self-test. If the self-test fails three consecutive times, the display goes blank and the detector goes into safety shutdown mode.

Automatic Battery Test

The battery is automatically tested every 2 hours. If the battery test fails, another automatic test is initiated 30 minutes later. After three consecutive battery test failures, the display goes blank and the detector enters safety shutdown mode.

Life-Remaining Clock

The life-remaining clock indicates how much longer the detector will operate. The display shows the countdown of remaining months, then days, and then hours. The detector continues to operate for a maximum of 8 hours after the life-ended alarm (refer to the turn off the detector.

Alarms section). Press C to

Safety Shutdown Mode

The display goes blank in safety shutdown mode. The detector then beeps, flashes and vibrates quickly (twice per second) until the battery loses power. To turn off the detector before the battery loses power, press C. Contact your BW Technologies distributor.

The detector goes into safety shutdown mode if:

• The self-test fails three consecutive times.

• The automatic battery test fails three consecutive times.

• You do not turn off the detector manually within 8 hours of the life-ended

alarm.
