gas (Test 1A) should be used only for instruments that contain
one or more of the 4 standard sensors (O2, LEL, CO or H2S).
For other configurations, use calibration gas with instrument in
normal operating mode. After testing, remember to clear the
peak values, or if “ALARM TYPE” is set to “TWA ON”, clear
memory. Test low flow alarm by placing finger over inlet when
in pump mode. If instrument does not go into low flow alarm
when inlet is blocked, instrument should be operated in
diffusion mode after entering the “USER SETUP” mode and
changing the pump status configuration to “PUMP OFF”.
Instrument should be serviced as soon as possible to fix the
problem.

5. CALIBRATION
5. CALIBRATION
5.1CALIBRATION FREQUENCY
It is important to verify accuracy on a regular basis to guard
against any unexpected loss of sensitivity due to mechanical
damage, immersion, aging, or exposure of the sensors to
poison (such as high concentration of combustible gas, tetraethel-lead, sulfides or silicone containing lubricants) present in
the atmosphere being monitored.
The safest possible course of action is to expose the sensors
to a known concentration test gas before each day’s use. This
“bump” test takes only a few seconds to accomplish. It is not
necessary to make a calibration adjustment unless readings
are off by more than 15% of the applied gas concentration. If
this procedure is followed, the calibration interval can be up to
90 days.
If your calibration procedures do not permit daily checking of
the sensors, Lumidor recommends the following procedure to
establish a safe and prudent check schedule. Initially, over a
period of a few days, check the response daily to be sure there
is nothing in your atmosphere that is poisoning the sensors. If
the instrument displays correct concentration levels after 2
weeks on this schedule, the calibration interval may be
extended to two weeks. If the instrument does not require
calibration, after 2 months on this schedule, the calibration
interval may be extended to 30 days.
WARNING
This does not preclude testing with gas on a regular basis.
Always observe your employer’s calibration and testing
schedules.

6.1PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Powerful programming options allow user to customize the
MicroMax Pro. Some options are available in the user set-up
mode (See Appendix D Mode Sequence, User Set-up Mode)
but the majority of these options are available only in
supervisory mode. ALL PROGRAMMING OPTIONS CAN
ALSO BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE MAXPRO LOG
SOFTWARE, USING THE UPLOAD FUNCTION. THIS IS BY
FAR THE MOST CONVENIENT AND EFFICIENT METHOD
AND IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. If a computer is not
available, programming may be accomplished manually in
supervisory mode, using the MODE and ON/OFF buttons. To
enter the supervisory mode, depress and hold the MODE
button for 5 seconds, during the “TESTING” phase of the startup sequence. The general structure of the supervisory mode
is to depress the MODE button to bypass an option, or use the
ON/OFF button to enter the option’s menu and make a
change. Where a menu has two options only for example,
“ON” or “OFF”, depressing the ON/OFF switch once
simultaneously accomplishes three functions; entering the
menu, changing the option and exiting the menu.
The following are all programmable:
• LEL gas type (CAUTION: This option is not operative
with the % by volume sensor.)
• Date format, date/time, daylight savings time
• Datalog frequency
• Auto-zero during start-up sequence
• Last calibration date displayed or not during start-up
sequence
• Latching or non-latching alarms
• Calibration gas level
• High alarm set points

6.2SELECTING LEL GAS TYPE
The LEL sensor is designed to provide its highest sensitivity to
Methane, See Appendix A Specifications - Section (O)
General). For users detecting methane or natural gas, the
standard calibration methods, using methane, with the “SEL
LEL GAS TYPE” set to Methane, is acceptable. This is the
standard default setting.
For users that need to monitor for a gas on the list, other than
methane or natural gas, there are two options:
(1)For the highest possible accuracy, it is always better to
calibrate the instrument with the desired target gas (that
is, the gas being monitored) i.e. Pentane. This is done
by following the calibration procedure in Section 5.2
Calibration Procedure (when all calibration gases are in
asinglecanister)and leaving the “SEL LEL GAS TYPE”
setting at Methane.
(2)If the target gas (let’s use Pentane as an example) is not
available, acceptable results may be obtained by
enteringthe“SELLELGASTYPE”functioninthe
supervisory mode, selecting “Pentane”, and using the
procedure in Section 5.2 Calibration Procedure (whenall calibration gases are in a single canister) to do a
standard calibration with methane gas. This action
enables the instrument to indicate the correct LEL
reading when monitoring Pentane. See Appendix A
31
MAN-MAXPRO
REV. B.0.
6. PROGRAMMING
Specifications of this manual, provides data on the
relative span of detectable gases. The 5 gases listed in
the “SEL LEL GAS TYPE” function, with their relative
spans, are:
Methane100
Propane63
Pentane50
Hexane46
Xylene31
From these five gases, select the one with a relative
span value closest to the relative span of your target
gas. For example, if your target gas is benzene (relative
span 44 per Appendix A Specifications - Section (O)
General) select hexane whose relative span of 46 is
closest to that of benzene and calibrate with the
supplied methane gas. To program the instrument for
the desired LEL gas type, enter the supervisory mode
(Section 6.1 Programming Options) and depress the
ON/OFF buttontoenterthe“SELLELGASTYPE”
menu. Use the MODE button to select the gas type and
the ON/OFF button to exit this menu sequence.
6.3SETTING DATE FORMAT
This function enables user to choose the correct date format.
The default date format is MM/DD/YYYY (MONTH/DAY/
YEAR), as is customary in the USA. To determine to which
date format the instrument is set, enter the supervisory mode
(Section 6.1 Programming Options) and use the MODE button
to scroll down to “DATE FORMAT”. If set for USA, display will
indicate:
DATEFORMAT
MM/DD
If this format is acceptable, and there is no need to set the date
and time, depress the MODE button to bypass the function. If,
however, DD/MM/YYYY (DAY/MONTH/YEAR) format is

If there is no reason to change the date or time, depress the
ON/OFF button a further twelve times to exit.
6.4SETTING DATE/TIME
To set date and time enter the supervisory mode (Section 6.1
Programming Options) and use the MODE button to scroll to
“DATE FORMAT”. Depress the ON/OFF button to enter the
menu. Depress the MODE button. The first digit on the left will
start to flash. Depress the ON/OFF switch to accept the
flashing number and move one number to the right, or use the
MODE button to change the flashing number to the desired
value. If the date format is MM/DD, the first two digits on the
left represent the current month and the first digit must be
either a 0 or a 1. Let us set the date to September 2, 2002. We
need 09 to represent the month of September. If 0 is flashing,
depress the ON/OFF switch. This accepts the 0 on the left and
we may now use the MODE switch to set the next number to
9. Depress the ON/OFF button to accept the 9 and the month
is correctly set to 09. The next digit on the right is now flashing
and the MODE button is used to select 0. Depress the ON/OFF
button to accept the 0, the MODE button to select 2, and the
ON/OFF button to accept 2. To set the year, use the MODE

6.5SELECTING DATA LOG FREQUENCY
The data log frequency is the time interval between logged
readings and may be set at 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 minutes. The time
internal does not affect the total number of data points. The
total number of data points is fixed at 2400 so if a 1-minute
interval is chosen, 40 hours of data may be logged. If a
5-minute interval is chosen, 200 hours of data may be logged.
The default setting is 1-minute so no action need be taken if
this interval is acceptable.
To change the data log frequency, access the supervisory
mode (See Section 6.1 Programming Options) and use the
MODE button to scroll down to “DATA LOG-FREQ”. Depress
the ON/OFF button to enter the menu sequence, then use the
MODE button to select 1,2,3,4 or 5-minute interval. Depress
the ON/OFF button to accept the selection and exit.
6.6AUTO-ZEROING
The factory default setting is automatic zeroing during start-up,
each time the instrument is turned on. If this is not acceptable,
the auto-zero function during start-up may be turned off by

8.6REMOVING AND ADDING A SENSOR
CAUTION
If you are adding or removing a sensor, be aware of the
following:
• Adding a sensor. This involves increasing the number of
sensors in the instrument. For example, to add a fourth
sensor to a three-gas unit, remove the plug, which is
located on the gas plate above the new sensor, so that gas
is allowed to reach the new sensor.
• Removing a sensor. This involves reducing the number of
sensors in the instrument. In this event, it is necessary to
insert a plug (Part number XIF936) in the gas plate to
prevent gas leakage where the vacated sensor no longer
resides.
8.7CLEANING
Clean exterior of instrument with a clean damp cloth. Do not
use solvents, soap, polishes etc., on the display.
8.8PUMP INLET FILTER REPLACEMENT
• If the inlet filter is clogged, the flow rate of the pump is
decreased, and in severe cases, the instrument will go into
low flow alarm, or the pump can be heard to be struggling
under the increased load caused by the restriction.
• To replace the filter, use tweezers to pull out the tubing and
filter. Install a new filter (Part number XIP604) and secure
67

8.9SAMPLING HOSE MAINTENANCE
• Check water trap (Part number GFV196), the spherical disc
located near the middle of the sampling hose, periodically
to make sure it is clean and unobstructed. Replace if
necessary.
• Check the porous dust cap (Part number 20HFC), located
at the very end of the sampling hose, periodically to make
sure it is clean and unobstructed. Replace if necessary.
8.10STORAGE
If the instrument will be out of service for more than 2 months:
• Charge NiMH battery pack.
• Remove NiMH or alkaline pack from instrument.
• Remove O2 sensor if more than two years old.
• Store the instrument in a contaminant-free area.
• Store the instrument at ambient temperature.
8.11SENSOR AND BATTERY DISPOSAL
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) governs the
disposal of waste products in the United States. EPA
Regulations are listed in the code of Federal Regulations,
CFR40, entitled “Protection of Environment.” Individual states
and local communities may also establish regulations covering
disposal of waste products. These may be more stringent than
Federal Regulations and may cover disposal of household
waste, which is not included in Federal Regulations. Thus,
state and local agencies should be contacted for their disposal
requirements.

Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres:
This instrument is safe for use in normal oxygen (20.9%v/v)
atmosphere. In enriched oxygen atmospheres (above 21%)
extreme caution should be exercised as electrical safety
certification is not applicable nor has it been tested as being
safe to use in such atmospheres.
Oxygen Deficient Atmospheres:
The LEL readings cannot be relied upon in atmospheres
deficient of oxygen. For example, most catalytic sensors
cannot be relied upon when oxygen is lower than 10% v/v.
Use extreme caution when the oxygen readings are below
10% v/v and do not enter any confined space when oxygen
alarm is operating and/or reading shows less than 19.5% v/v.

APPENDIX J - CALIBRATING WITH MULTIPLE CANISTERS
APPENDIX J CA LIBRATING WITH MULTIPLE CANISTERS
Whether the calibration procedure falls under Section 5.2
Calibration Procedure (when all calibration gases are in a
single canister) or under Section 5.3 Calibration Procedure
(when not all calibration gases are in a single canister) is
dependent on the instrument's sensor complement. If the
sensor complement is O2, LEL, CO and H2S, all four
calibration gases are available in one canister (GFV207 or
GFV243). Similarly, if the sensor complement is O2, LEL, CO
and SO2, all four calibration gases are available in one
canister (GFV279). Again, if the sensor complement is O2,
LEL, and CO then all three-calibration gases are available in
one canister (GFV123). GFV123 would also be used where
the sensor complement is O2 and LEL.
Where not all the calibration gases are available in a single
canister, the position is as follows:
(1)Five-gas models with combo-tox sensor
First, apply GFV123 (O2, LEL and CO). Then apply the
gas appropriate to the other toxic sensor in the unit. Do
not calibrate the combo-tox sensor with H2S gas.
Four-gas models with O2, LEL and CO sensors
First, apply GFV123 (O2, LEL and CO), followed by the
gas appropriate to the other toxic sensor.
(2)Models with O2 and/or LEL sensors
First, apply GFV123 (O2, LEL and CO), followed by the
gas(es) appropriate to the other toxic sensor(s).
(3)Examples
a.MPRO-4ABCE (O2, LEL, CO and NH3). Follow the
procedure in Section 5.3 Calibration Procedure
(when not all calibration gases are in a single
canister). The first calibration gas is GFV123; the
second calibration gas is either GFV 213 (58 Liters)
or GFV 250 (34 Liters).

APPENDIX J - CALIBRATING WITH MULTIPLE CANISTERS
b.MPRO-4ABCH (O2, LEL, CO and SO2). Follow the
procedure in Section 5.2 Calibration Procedure (when allcalibration gases are in a single canister) because all the
calibration gases are in one canister (GFV279).
c. MPRO-2AC(O2&CO).Followtheprocedurein
Section 5.2 Calibration Procedure (when all calibrationgases are in a single canister) because all the calibration
gases are in a single canister (GFV123).
d.MPRO-2EF (NH3 and CL2). Follow the procedure in
Section 5.3CalibrationProcedure(whennotallcalibration gases are in a single canister). The first gas is
NH3 (GFV213 or GFV250) and the second gas is CL2
(GFV252 or GFV249).
e.MPRO-AN (O2 and LEL/%by volume). Follow the
procedure in Section 5.2 Calibration Procedure (when allcalibration gases are in a single canister) because all the
gases are in a single cylinder (GFV123).
f.MPRO-4ABCJ (O2, LEL, CO and PH3). Follow the
procedure in Section 5.3 Calibration Procedure (whennot all calibration gases are in a single canister).Thefirst
calibration gas is GFV123; the second calibration gas is
GFV272 (5PPM PH3).
