1.0 Introduction
The SPECTRUM SP is a small portable battery operated single channel gas detection instrument featuring an internal
motorized sample pump. Depending on the sensor supplied with the instrument, it can detect one of a number of potential target
gases. An electrochemical cell detects the gas, and the gas concentration is displayed on an LCD. Audio and visual alarms
occur when the target gas concentration exceeds a preset alarm point or when air flow to the sensor is interrupted. At relatively
low concentrations of the gas, an alarm can be acknowledged, which results in the temporary cessation of the audio alarm.
Operation and maintenance procedures are managed with three pushbutton switches. Appropriate warnings are issued when
remaining battery energy is low. The instrument is shown in Figure 1.
Several sensors have been qualified for target gases, the list is found in Table 1 Appendix A.

SPECTRUM SP Series ENMET Corporation
1.2 Turn Instrument ON
Turn the instrument ON, by pressing and holding the POWER / BACKLIGHT pushbutton for two seconds. The pump will
automatically activate. In uncontaminated air, for most instruments, the display should read 0000 within ten seconds of turnon.
N
OTE
: For instruments using a biased sensor, this time is extended to 4 minutes.
Stabilization may take as long as 1 hour. See Table 1 Appendix A.
1.2.1 Verify
The SPECTRUM SP is calibrated prior to shipment. However, if there is access to a source of the target gas, such as a
calibration kit, expose the sensor to the gas, and observe that the instrument is responsive.
1.2.2 Acknowledge Alarm
If the concentration of the target gas is greater than the alarm set point, the instrument indicates an alarm condition.
Acknowledge the alarm by pressing and releasing the right hand pushbutton, SELECT; this silences the audio alarm for four
minutes unless the concentration of the target gas is greater than the upper alarm limit. See Table 1 Appendix A for a list of
alarm set points and upper alarm limits for various target gases.
1.2.3 Remove Gas
Remove the source of the target gas. After the display reads zero or close to it, turn the instrument OFF, by pressing and
holding the POWER / BACKLIGHT pushbutton for approximately three seconds. The display flashes "OFF" and then goes
blank after the pushbutton is released.
1.2.4 Contact ENMET

2.1.2 Turn ON and OFF
Turn the instrument ON by pressing the POWER / BACKLIGHT pushbutton for two seconds. The pump will automatically
actuate. For most instruments, the display should read "0000" within ten seconds when the instrument is in uncontaminated air.
N
OTE
: Instruments using biased sensor, stabilization time is extended to 4 minutes. Complete stabilization may take as long as
1 hour. When instrument is turned on it may display XXXX + . If instrument has been off for an extended amount of
time it may be necessary to “cycle” (turn on and off) the instrument several times. See Table 1 Appendix A for
identification of biased sensors.
Turn the instrument OFF by pressing and holding the POWER / BACKLIGHT pushbutton for three seconds. The display
flashes "OFF" and then fades out after the pushbutton is released. The instrument can be turned OFF from any location in the
operational or maintenance menus.
2.1.3 Gas Concentration Display and Alarms
The LCD furnishes a numerical display of the target gas concentration from 0000 to the upper limit of the range, shown in
Table 1 Appendix A. The display of the target gas concentration is termed the "operational display". If the target gas
concentration exceeds the upper limit of the range, the display is the numerical upper limit and a plus sign, for
example,"0200+", for hydrogen sulfide. When the concentration of the target gas exceeds the alarm set point, the audio and
visual alarms are activated. The gas concentration continues to be displayed during alarm. The alarm point is adjustable
between a lower and upper alarm limit by accessing the maintenance menu; these and the factory setting of the alarm point are
also given in Table 1 Appendix A. A user should have a justifiable application-based reason for setting the alarm point higher
than the factory setting. When the target gas concentration drops below the alarm point, the audio and visual alarms cease
operation. The alarm point setting can be observed on the display by pushing the OPTION pushbutton twice.
If an alarm concentration is encountered when the display is at a location in the operational menu other than the operational
display, the audio and visual alarms are activated and the alarm cannot be acknowledged.
If the display is left idle at a location other than the operational display for 45 seconds it automatically transfers to the
operational display.
2.1.4 Alarm Acknowledge
When the instrument is in alarm, and the target gas concentration is below the upper alarm limit, the alarm can be
acknowledged by pressing and releasing the SELECT pushbutton, but only when the instrument is at the operational display.
The acknowledgement causes the temporary cessation of the audio alarm; the red LED continues to be ON. The audio alarm is
OFF for a period of four minutes, after which it is reactivated, if the gas concentration is still above the alarm point. The alarm
can again be acknowledged. However, acknowledgement of the alarm at gas concentrations above the upper alarm limit does
not result in audio alarm cessation, and if the gas concentration rises above the upper alarm limit during an alarm condition
which has been acknowledged, the audio alarm resumes operation.
The alarms are high energy users. The LED alone uses twice as much energy as the non-alarming instrument. Prolonged use of
the instrument while it is in the alarm condition causes a marked decrease in battery life.
2.1.5 Confidence Beep
During normal operation, with no alarm conditions, the audio and visual alarms are activated once every thirty seconds.
5
SPECTRUM SP Series ENMET Corporation
2.1.6 Battery Status and Low Battery Alarms
The battery status display is accessed by pressing the OPTION pushbutton once. When this display is "Batt=OK", the battery
energy level is sufficient for operation of the instrument. In this condition, the confidence beep occurs every thirty seconds
when the instrument is not in alarm.
When the battery energy level is low the battery should be recharged, the battery status display reads "Batt=low", and the
instrument beeps once every five seconds to alert the user to the battery condition. Stop Using The Instrument And Exit An Area That Could Be Hazardous To Safety Or Health. When the battery energy level is critically low, and battery failure is
imminent, the battery status display reads "Batt=LOW", and the instrument beeps once every two seconds. An alarm condition
at this point could cause the instrument to completely shut off. Recharge the battery immediately. The user cannot go past the
battery status display until the depleted battery is recharged.
When the battery energy level drops below the critically low point, the instrument automatically shuts off, and cannot be used
until the battery is recharged.
2.1.7 Data
The SPECTRUM SP retains the maximum and minimum gas concentration values encountered since turn-on, or since the data
was cleared and reset. To access this press the OPTION pushbutton three times; "see DATA" is displayed. Press the SELECT
pushbutton; the maximum concentration since turn-on or last reset is displayed. Press the OPTION pushbutton again; the
minimum concentration since turn-on or last reset is displayed. Press the OPTION pushbutton again; "clr DATA" is displayed.
Pushing the SELECT pushbutton clears the data and resets it to the current concentration.
Pushing the OPTION pushbutton once more results in a display of both the countdown to the confidence beep and the internal
temperature of the instrument in degrees centigrade. Push the OPTION pushbutton three more times to return to the
operational display.
2.1.8 Backlight
To backlight the display for observation in a dark area, press and quickly release the POWER / BACKLIGHT pushbutton. The
LCD backlight comes ON for a period of 45 seconds and then turnes OFF automatically. The backlight can be turned off
sooner than 45 seconds by pressing the POWER / BACKLIGHT pushbutton a second time. Use the backlight feature
sparingly; it is a relatively high energy user, and extensive use rapidly depletes the battery.
2.2 Interference Gases
For each target gas, some gases other than the target gas cause a sensor response, and thus are termed "interference gases". A
compilation of known interference gases for the various target gases is given in Appendix B, along with gases that are known to
not cause a sensor response.

3.1.1 Key
Entrance to the maintenance menu is guarded with a four digit numerical key. The factory default setting of the key is 1270*.
When the valid numerical key is inserted, the user is allowed to enter the maintenance menu
When in the "go SETUP" location, press the SELECT pushbutton; "Key=0000" is displayed. The underscore cursor is under
the left hand digit. To insert the key, press the OPTION pushbutton to change the left hand digit, and choose the correct digit;
then press the SELECT pushbutton, which locks in the chosen left hand digit and moves the underscore cursor one space to the
right. Continue this process until the four digit key is complete. When the valid key is inserted in this manner, the display is
transferred to the "run ZERO" portion of the maintenance menu. When an invalid key is inserted, "INVALID" is briefly
displayed, and the instrument returns to the operational display.
*The process by which a different key is set is given in section 3.1.5.
3.1.2 Zero
A valid key entry sets the instrument at the "run ZERO" location, of the maintenance menu, which enables the setting of the
zero gas concentration point. This is desirable if the zero reference of the gas sensor has drifted over a period of time, indicated
by a persistent gas concentration reading in a clean environment. Note that the calibration sequence given below also includes
setting the zero point. If a full calibration is required, instead of setting just the zero point, push the OPTION button once; "run
CAL" is displayed. See section 3.1.3.
To set the zero point without performing full calibration, from the "run ZERO" location press the SELECT pushbutton; "AIR
SET?" is displayed. Be certain that the instrument is in clean air, uncontaminated by the target gas. If uncertain of the
environment, use pure compressed air from a pressurized cylinder, and flow it over the sensor at a low rate.
With the instrument in “AIR SET?”, press the SELECT pushbutton again. "z30:0.0v" is displayed; this is a counter that counts
down in seconds from 30 to 0. The validity of the new zero setting is then examined; if it is with in preset parameters, the
display is transferred to the operational display in the operation menu.
If the new zero setting is not between preset parameters, "C-FAULT" is displayed. Turn the instrument OFF, then ON again.
This re-boots the system with the most recent valid zero setting.
3.1.3 Calibration
N
OTE
: Calibration must be performed at normal room temperature (20-25°C) for optimal performance. If the instrument is
exposed to temperature extremes just prior to calibration, allow it to stabilize to room temperature. The internal
temperature of the instrument is verified by cycling through the "see DATA" menu.
In order to calibrate the instrument, it is first zeroed in a procedure similar to the one described section 3.1.2. Then the sensor is
presented with a known concentration of the target gas, in air or an inert gas such as nitrogen, called the "span gas". After an
appropriate interval, which is timed, the new span setting is examined for validity.
A valid key entry sets the instrument at the "run ZERO" location of the maintenance menu. Press the OPTION pushbutton
once to access the "run CAL" display, then press the SELECT pushbutton; "AIR SET?" is displayed. Zero the instrument as
described in paragraph 3.1.2. When the zero timer is complete, the display indicates "GAS=XXXX", where the numbers
indicate the correct span gas concentration the instrument is equipped to detect; for a COSPECTRUM SP the span gas is 100
ppm CO, for Cl2 SPECTRUM SP the span gas is 5 ppm chlorine, and so forth. The correct span gas is given in Table 2
Appendix A for various target gases.
At the “GAS=XXXX” display:
1. Assure that the correct span gas is available.
2. Connect the calibration adapter to the cylinder.
3. Connect the quick release fitting to the sensor input.
4. Press the SELECT pushbutton; "GAS SET?" is displayed.
5. Press the SELECT pushbutton; "XXX:Y.Yv" is displayed until countdown is complete.
6. Remove span gas.
The XXX is a counter that counts down in seconds to zero from the correct starting time to provide the proper time interval for
calibration; this time interval may vary depending on your target gas. The Y.Y v indicates a sensor signal that is used during
the sensor replacement procedure. When the timer reaches zero, the new calibration and zero gas settings are examined for
validity. If the value is within preset parameters, the display is transferred to the gas operational display in the operations menu.
N
OTE
: After calibration the audio alarm is disabled up to 2.5 minutes.
If the new setting is not within preset parameters, "C-FAULT" is displayed. Turn the instrument OFF, then ON again. This reboots the system with the most recent valid zero and calibration settings. Recalibrate. If after recalibration the instrument still
displays “C-FAULT” the sensor may be expired. Replace sensor in accordance with Section 3.2.1.
8
SPECTRUM SP Series ENMET Corporation
3.1.4 Changing the Alarm Level
A valid key entry sets the instrument at the "run ZERO" location of the maintenance menu. Press the OPTION pushbutton
twice to access the "set ALM" display, then press the SELECT pushbutton; ALM=0000" is displayed. This is called the alarm
update window, and the value displayed is the present alarm setpoint. The underscore cursor is under the far left digit. Press
the OPTION pushbutton to change the underscored digit; select the desired digit, and press the SELECT pushbutton to lock in
the desired digit and move the underscore cursor one position to the right. When the desired new alarm point is set
“new=XXXX” is displayed. Press either the OPTION or SELECT pushbutton to exit the alarm update window. If the new
alarm setting is valid, "exit" is displayed. Press the OPTION pushbutton to return to the operational display, or the SELECT
pushbutton to return to “run ZERO”.
For the safety of the user, there are upper and lower limits past which the alarm setting is invalid, and the instrument does not
accept them. If an invalid alarm setting is attempted, after the numerical value is inserted in the "ALM=0000" window,
pressing the OPTION or SELECT pushbutton results in a momentary display of "INVALID" after which the display returns to
the alarm update window. Exiting the alarm update window at this point results in an alarm point setting unchanged from the
value present when the procedure was begun.
Factory default alarm setpoints and alarm limits are shown in Table 1 Appendix A.
3.1.5 Setting a New Key
A valid key entry sets the instrument at the "run ZERO" location of the maintenance menu. Press the OPTION pushbutton four
times to access the "set KEY" display. Press the SELECT pushbutton once; "KEY=0000 is displayed. A new key can be set
by changing the underscored number with the OPTION pushbutton and moving the underscore cursor with the SELECT
pushbutton. After the new key is entered “new-XXXX” is displayed, press the OPTION or SELECT pushbutton to display to
“exit”, then press the OPTION pushbutton to return to “run ZERO”.
N
OTE
: Four digit key numbers should be selected carefully and recorded. Without the correct key, the maintenance menu
cannot be accessed. If a four digit key number is lost, call ENMET customer service personnel.

3.2 Changing Components
Changing the battery, the sensor, or the display requires that the back cover of the instrument to be removed; remove the four
phillips head screws and then the back cover. See Figure 5.
3.2.1 Sensor Removal and Replacement
A sensor must be replaced when it no longer responds adequately to the target gas. This is indicated by a low gas concentration
reading when exposed to a known concentration of the target gas, and the inability to calibrate the instrument, with a "CFAULT" display after calibration. Expected sensor lifetimes in normal environments are given in Table 1 Appendix A.
After removing the cover lift the pump from it’s retaining clip, along with the enclosure end cap.
Remove the sealing tape from the sensor chamber and remove the chamber cover.
Pull out the sensor and disconnect the sensor from the sensor circuit board. See Figure 4.
C
AUTION
Circuit Board
: New sensors may come with a shorting clip or spring that must be removed for proper operation.
Remove the shorting clip (if present) from the new sensor and plug the new sensor in the sensor circuit board.
Replace the sensor chamber cover and *sealing tape. *A quality electrical tape is adequate for this.
Replace pump in retaining clip.
Allow the sensor to stabilize in the instrument with the power on for one hour before recalibrating.
Follow the procedure for calibrating the instrument as outlined in Section 3.1.3 of this manual with the following
modification.
During the application of the span gas, the counter counts down from an upper value given in Table 2 Appendix A.
When the counter gets down to 60, adjust the calibration potentiometer located next to the display on the instrument PC
board, so that the display to the right of the counter reads a little above the calibration voltage given for the target gas in
Table 2 Appendix A. As the counter continues, turn the pot so that the calibration voltage is reached when the counter
reaches 30. This is a one-time adjustment to align the sensor output with the instrument electronics. It should only be
performed upon sensor replacement. All future calibrations should follow the procedure in Section 3.1.3.

SPECTRUM SP Series ENMET Corporation
APPENDIX C SPECTRUM SP for Hydrazine
SPECTRUM SP For Hydrazine
The detection of hydrazine, N2H4, is a specialized application. Generally, hydrazine gas blended in air or nitrogen in known
verified amounts is not available to use as calibration gas in the field. Also, the sensor is not responsive to any other gas which
could be used as a correlation gas. The sensor itself has a relatively short operating life, and should be replaced every six
months. Typically, the instrument is returned to the factory every six months for sensor replacement.
A sensor can be replaced in the field by using a current source to set up the instrument for the particular sensor being installed.
Each sensor has an individual sensitivity to hydrazine, expressed in nanoamps per ppm. This sensitivity is given on the sensor
label and the container in which the sensor is shipped.
A stable voltage of -5 vdc is available on pin 11 of IC4. The instrument is set up for a calibration gas of 0.3 ppm hydrazine. So
the voltage is used with a resistor sized to give the current output of the sensor when exposed to 0.3ppm hydrazine. This
resistor is typically in the 6 to 8 megohm range. The value of the resistor is calculated by:
R = 5.0/ (0.3) (S), where S is the sensitivity of the sensor
For a sensor with a sensitivity of 2250 nanoamps per ppm, for example:
R = 5.0/ (0.3) (0.000002250) = 7 400 000 ohms = 7.4 megohms
Remove the old sensor, and run through the zero portion of the calibration procedure, then stop. With the sensor still removed,
connect the resistor between pin 11 of IC4 and the sensor output, pin 3, on the circuit board. Then resume the calibration
procedure. When it is complete, remove the resistor, and install the new sensor.
For warranty purposes, the hydrazine sensor is considered an expendable item with a warranty life of six months.

Returning an Instrument for Repair
ENMET instruments may be returned to the factory or any one of our Field Service Centers for regular repair
service or calibration. The ENMET Repair Department and Field Service Centers also perform warranty
service work.
When returning an instrument to the factory or service center for service, paperwork must be included which
contains the following information:
A purchase order number or reference number.
A contact name with return address, telephone and fax numbers
Specific instructions regarding desired service or description
of the problems being encountered.
Date of original purchase and copy of packing slip or invoice
for warranty consideration.
If a price estimate is required, please note it accordingly and be
sure to include a fax number.
Providing the above information assists in the expedient repair and return of your unit.
Failure to provide this information can result in processing delays.
ENMET charges a one hour minimum billing for all approved repairs with additional time billed to the closest
tenth of an hour. All instruments sent to ENMET are subject to a minimum evaluation fee, even if returned
unrepaired. Unclaimed instruments that ENMET has received without appropriate paperwork or attempts to
advise repair costs that have been unanswered, after a period of 60 days, may be disposed of or returned
unrepaired COD with the evaluation fee.
Service centers may have different rates or terms. Be sure to contact them for this information.
Repaired instruments are returned by UPS/FedEx Ground and are not insured unless otherwise
specified. If expedited shipping methods or insurance is required, it must be stated in your paperwork.
Note: Warranty of customer installed components.
If a component is purchased and installed in the field, and fails within the warranty term, it can be
returned to ENMET and will be replaced, free of charge, per ENMET’s returned goods procedure.
If the entire instrument is returned to ENMET Corporation with the defective item installed, the item will
be replaced at no cost, but the instrument will be subject to labor charges at half of the standard rate.
