GasAlert Clip Extreme

The GasAlertClip Extreme 2 or 3 year 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 alarms.

Gases Detected

Oxygen (O2) Percent by volume (%)

Carbon monoxide (CO) Parts per million (ppm)

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) Parts per million (ppm)

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) Parts per million (ppm)

a Safety Information—Read First

Warning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
Warning: Bump test the O2 sensor before each day’s use to confirm its

ability to respond to gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration
that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and
visual alarms are activated.

 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.
 Ensure the sensor grill is free of dirt, debris, and is not obstructed.
 Calibrate and/or bump test the detector in a normal atmosphere

(20.9% O2) that is free of hazardous gas.

 Periodically test the response of the sensor 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

oxygen (O2) detector.

c e Recycling

This instrument contains a lithium battery. Do not mix with the solid
waste stream. Spent batteries should be disposed of by a qualified
recycler or hazardous materials handler.

Activate the Detector

1. Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% O2) that is free of
hazardous gas.

2. Press and hold the Pushbutton C for 5 seconds.

3. The detector beeps and vibrates once.

4. The LEDs flash once.

5. The detector performs self-test. This make take several minutes. For
more information, refer to Self-Test.

6. When Self-Test is successful, the detector beeps and vibrates once
and the LEDs flash once. The detector then displays the Detector
Life-Remaining Clock.

Note: Once the detector is activated, it cannot be deactivated except

after a battery life-ending alarm. For more information, refer to

Automatic Battery Test and Safety Shutdown Mode.

Self-Test

The detector performs self-test before any other function. Self-test
must be performed in a normal atmosphere (20.9% O2) that is free of
hazardous gas. After self-test is performed, wait 30 seconds before
using the detector to ensure that it accurately detects gas.

When is self-test required?

 Prior to each day’s use; and
 When the LCD displays Test.

Perform Self-Tes t

1. Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% O2) that is free of
hazardous gas.

2. Press and hold C for 1 second.

3. Confirm that the following tests are performed:
a) The detector beeps and vibrates once.
b) The LEDs flash once.
c) The LCD displays all elements.
d) The LCD flashes Test while sensor integrity and battery life

are tested.
e) The LCD displays low and high alarm setpoints.
f) If an alarm has occurred in the last 24 hours, the LCD displays

the maximum gas exposure value and the hours that have elapsed

since the exposure.
g) The LCD flashes Prn and .

4. After self-test is performed, wait 30 seconds before using the detector
to ensure that it accurately detects gas.

Self-Test Pass

When self-test is successful, the detector beeps and vibrates once. The
LCD displays u to confirm that self-test was successful. Test displays
again 22 hours after performing self-test to indicate that a new self-test
is required.

Self-Test Fail

If self-test fails, the detector beeps 5 times and the LEDs flash before
the LCD displays a blank screen. The LCD then returns to the normal
operation screen and displays Tes t. Repeat self-test.

If self-test fails 3 consecutive times, the LCD displays a blank screen
and the detector deactivates. For more information, refer to Safety
Shutdown Mode.

Automatic Battery Test

The detector automatically tests the battery every 2 hours.

Battery Test Fail

If a battery test fails, another test is initiated 30 minutes later. After
5 consecutive battery test failures, the LCD displays a blank screen
and the detector deactivates. For more information, refer to Safety

Shutdown Mode.

Detector Life-Remaining Clock

The detector life-remaining clock counts down the amount of operating
time remaining in months, then days, then hours.

Detector Life-Ending Alarm

The detector life-ending alarm occurs when the battery life-remaining
clock displays 0 hours. The detector continues to operate for a
maximum of 8 hours after the detector life-ending alarm activates. To
deactivate the detector, press C.

Audible: 1 beep every 30 seconds
Visual: 1 flash every 30 seconds
Vibration: 1 slow vibration every 30 seconds

Gas Alarms

Low Gas Alarm

Audible: 1 slow beep ever y second
Visual: 1 slow flash ever y second
Vibration: 1 slow vibration every second

High Gas Alarm

Audible: 2 fast beeps every second
Visual: 2 fast flashes every second
Vibration: 2 fast vibrations ever y second

Battery life decreases rapidly when the detector is in alarm condition.
When alarm gas level returns to an acceptable range, the alarm
deactivates.

Gas Alarm Setpoints

Gas alarm setpoints are factory configured and cannot be modified.
