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 alarms.

Gas Detected Unit of Measure

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 detector 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.

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. ⇒ Ensure the sensor grill is free of dirt, debris, and is not obstructed. ⇒ Calibrate and bump test the detector in an ordinary location.

a Safety Information - Read First

⇒ 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 aud ible an d visual alarms are activated.

⇒ Periodically calibrate the GasAlertClip Extreme O

ec Note:

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.

Activating the Detector

Press and hold C for 5 seconds.

Note: Once activated the detector cannot be deactivated, except after a

battery life-ending alarm. Refer to

Safety Shutdown Mode.

Performing a Self Test

Note: The self-test must be performed in an atmosphere that is free of

hazardous gas. After a self-test is performed, wait 30 seconds before using to ensure

the detector accurately detects gas.

The self-test is activated prior to any other function. Prior to each day’s use, a self-test of the detector must be performed.

When Test displays on the LCD, a self-test is required.

When the self-test is performed and passes,

displays to confirm the tests

are successful. To perform a self-test, press and hold C for approximately 1 second. to

initiate the self-test. Confirm that the following tests are performed:

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

2. All LCD elements display.

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

4. The low and high alarm setpoints display.

5. If an alarm has occurred in the last 24 hours, the LCD displays the maximum gas exposure value and the hours that have lapsed since the exposure.

6. Prn and

flash.

Note: If a self-test is activated without Test being displayed, steps #1-3 are

bypassed.

Self-Test Pass

When the self-test is successful, the detector emits a short beep and a single vibration.

u then displays to verify that the detector passed the self-test.

Twenty hours after performing the self-test, Test displays again to indicate that a self-test is required.

Self-Test Fail

If the self-test fails, the detector emits five short beeps and flashes before displaying a blank screen. The LCD then returns to the normal operating screen and again displays Test.

Repeat the self-test.

Note: If the self-test fails three consecutive times, the LCD displays a blank

screen and the detector deactivates. Refer to

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.

Note: After five consecutive battery test failures, the LCD displays a blank

screen and the detector deactivates. Refer to

Safety Shutdown Mode.

Detector Life-Remaining Clock

The detector life-remaining clock indicates how much longer the detector will operate. The LCD displays the countdown value of the remaining months, days, and then hours.

The detector continues to operate for a maximum of 8 hours after the detector life-ending alarm initiates. Press C to deactivate the detector. For more information, refer to

Alarms.

Safety Shutdown Mode

The LCD displays a blank screen when initiating safety shutdown mode. The detector beeps, flashes, and vibrates rapidly (twice per second) until the battery loses power. To deactivate the detector before the battery loses power, press C. Contact

BW Technologies by Honeywell.

The detector initiates safety shutdown mode if the

• self-test fails three consecutive times,

• automatic battery test fails five consecutive times, or

• detector has not been manually deactivated within 8 hours of initiating

the detector life-ending alarm.

Gas Alarm Setpoints

The following is a list of the factory alarm setpoints.

GasAlertClip Extreme CO 35 ppm 200 ppm

GasAlertClip Extreme H2S 10 ppm 15 ppm

GasAlertClip Extreme SO

5 ppm 10 ppm

Note: Detector may be configured with customer specified alarm setpoints.

Displaying the Gas Alarm Setpoints

Press C to display the alarm setpoints.

Alarm setpoints are factory configured and cannot be modified.

Two fast vibrations every second

Life-Ending Alarm

Eight slow beeps per minute

Eight slow flashes per minute

Eight slow vibrations per minute

Note: When the gas level returns to the acceptable range, the gas alarm

stops. The life of the battery decreases rapidly when in alarm conditions. The battery life-ending alarm occurs when the battery life-remaining

clock displays 0 hours. The detector will continue to operate for 8 hours before automatically deactivating.

Maximum Gas Exposure

The detector records the maximum gas exposure that triggers an alarm condition and begins calculating the number of hours from when the maximum exposure occurred.

For each new exposure greater than the current maximum exposure, the detector resets the maximum gas exposure to the new level and resets the hours to 0. After 24 hours of gas readings in the acceptable range, the detector resets both values to 0.

Viewing the Maximum Gas Exposure

Press C within 24 hours of receiving a gas alarm. The LCD displays the following:

The low and high alarm setpoints.

If a maximum gas exposure has occurred within the last 24 hours, the maximum gas exposure screens display.

For exposures beyond the detection range, over limit (OL) displays.

Calibrating the Oxygen (O2) Detector

a Warning

Bump test the O

detector 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.

Every 30 days when the O

detector is due for calibration, the LCD flashes

CAL and the detector life-remaining value to indicate that calibration is due.

To calibrate the O2 detector, complete the following:

1. Calibrate the detector only in a normal atmosphere (20.9% O2) that is free of hazardous gas.

2. Press and hold C for approximately 3 seconds.

3. The detector emits one beep, one flash, and displays the following screen:

Successful Calibration: The detector emits one vibration and one extended beep to indicate that calibration is successful.

Unsuccessful Calibration: If the detector does not beep or vibrate after a calibration, repeat steps 1 and 2 again. If the second attempt is unsuccessful, contact

BW Technologies by Honeywell.
