Self-Test).

Periodically test the sensors’ response to gas by exposing the monitor to a target gas

•
concentration that exceeds the alarm set points. Verify proper operation of audible,
visual and vibrating alarms during this test.

Use only factory supplied calibration gas for calibration. Accurate calibration

•
can be achieved only if specific concentrations of the correct gases are
used.

Do not use the detector in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.

•
The flammable sensor’s sensitivity can be adversely affected by exposure

•
to certain substances called “poisons”. Sulfur compounds, phosphorus
containing compounds, halogens, silicone or lead containing compounds
are examples of such poisons. Every effor t should be made to avoid
exposure to these substances. When the detector is exposed to such
substances, a gas test should be performed on the flammable sensor
to verify its accuracy and a calibration performed if necessary.

Extended exposure of the detector to certain high concentrations of flammable

•
gases and air may stress the flammable detector element, which can
seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration
of flammable gases, recalibration should be performed, or if needed, the
sensor replaced.

Do not use solvents, soap, polishes or any product containing silicon

•
compounds to clean the detector as these can cause damage to the
sensors.

•

Do not expose the detector to electrical shock and/or severe mechanical
shock. When the detector is exposed to such shocks, a check should be
performed on the sensors to verify its accuracy and a calibration performed
if necessary.

•

Disabling one or more installed sensors configures the detector to a 1, 2,
or 3-gas unit. No protection is provided for the gas targeted by the disabled
sensor(s).

Do not install or remove the memory card in the detector or attempt to read,

•
download or write to the memory card using a memory card reader and/or
computer in potentially hazardous atmospheres.

When the non-zero STEL and/or TWA values are carried over from the previous
measurement, a “Delete no” prompt will be displayed with the gas labels and the STEL
and TWA icons. (When the STEL and TWA values are zero, the “Delete no” prompt
will not be displayed.)

Press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll
to “no” or “YES” and press the ON/OFF
button to select.

or

When “no” is selected, the recorded STEL and TWA values will be used as initial
STEL and TWA values for the current session. When “YES” is selected, the STEL
and TWA values will be cleared.

2-1-3. CHECKING THE MEMORY CARD

The detector will check the memory card in the memory card slot. When a properly
formatted FAT16 memory card with a data full condition is detected, a “Data Fu” message
will be displayed followed by a “Delete no” prompt. (When a properly formatted FAT16
memory card is not full of data, the “Data Fu” message and the “Delete no” prompt will
not be displayed).

Press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll to “no” or “YES” and press the ON/OFF
button to select.

or

X4 Series14

When “no” is selected, the detector keeps the current data file and the Data Logging
icon will not be displayed in the measuring mode which indicates that no data is
being logged. When “Yes” is selected, the detector deletes the current data file and
creates a new file for data logging. The Data Logging icon will be displayed in the
measuring mode which indicates that data is being logged.

The detector does not support either FAT32 or NTFS format for the memory card.
When a memory card with non-FAT16 format is detected, a “Card Er” message will
be displayed with a single beep. (When a properly formatted FAT16 memory card
is detected, a “Card Er” message will not be displayed.)

The Data Logging icon will not be displayed in the measuring
mode which indicates that no data is being logged.

2-1-4. Power-Up Self-Test

The detector will beep and perform a power-up Self-Test. If the detector passes
the Self-Test, the Test Pass icon is displayed. If the Test Fail icon is displayed
and the Test Pass icon blinks with 1 beep and 1 flash every 5 seconds, then the
detector has failed the Self-Test (See Section 3-1 Performing a Self-Test).

2-1-5. Checking the Calibration Due Date

The detector checks the calibration due date stored in the detector after the Power-Up
Self-Test. When the number of days remaining until calibration is due reaches zero,
a "CAL dUE dAY 0" message will be displayed to remind the user that a calibration
needs to be performed.

To perform the calibration, see Section 4 Calibration.

2-2. Turning the Detector Off

To turn off the detector, press and hold the ON/OFF button while in the measuring mode.
