Introduction

This manual has been prepared to help in the use of the Manning EC-P2 Portable Gas Detector.

ATTENTION: This manual must be carefully followed by all individuals who have or will have the responsibility for using or servicing the sensor. Warranties made by Honeywell Analytics with respect

to this equipment will be voided if the equipment is not used and serviced in accordance with the instructions in this manual. If in doubt about a procedure, please contact Honeywell Analytics before proceeding.

1 System Description

The Manning EC-P2 is a portable, battery operated instrument for the measurement of gas concentrations in ambient air.

The Manning EC-P2 can be converted from one target gas to another by simply plugging in a different SMART-CELL for the desired target gas (takes about 30 seconds). This allows one instrument to detect a number of different gases. All calibration and alarm setpoint data is stored on the individual SMART-CELL so reconfiguration is not necessary when changing target gases. Extra SMART-CELLs should be kept on the optional sensor keeper when not in use to keep them “warmed up” and ready for immediate use.

The Manning EC-P2 utilizes two different batteries to insure that you’ll never be without power when you need it. The primary power source is a “C” size alkaline battery housed in the handle. It will run the unit approximately 48 hours. When this battery is removed or dead, the unit will switch to its standby power source, an internal rechargeable NiCad battery, which will run the unit approximately six hours. When not in use, the unit should be plugged into the charger to keep this standby battery charged. If desired, the unit can be run continuously when plugged into the charger.

The Manning EC-P2 also has advanced capabilities such as data logging to an Excel spreadsheet, 0 to

1.0 Volt DC analog output capability, and a sampling mode for taking a single reading in a controlled, repeatable manner.
