SPM Flex® Single Point
Monitor Gas Detector
Quick Start Guide

• Operate and service the SPM Flex gas detector only as specied in this
quick start guide and the accompanying manual. Failure to do so may
impair the protection provided by the detector and may also void the
warranty.

• The battery is not eld-replaceable. Return the unit to Honeywell
Analytics if a battery replacement is necessary.

• Risk of re and burns. Do not open, crush, heat above 140ºF (60ºC), or
incinerate. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

• Protection afforded by the SPM Flex gas detector may be impaired if it
is not used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not operate two-way radios near the detector.

• Calibration, set-up, and test modes are intended for use by trained
personnel or service engineers only. Access to these modes can be
passcode protected.

• Follow local and site procedures when working with the SPM Flex

gas detector. If needed, ensure that the associated control panel is

inhibited in order to prevent false alarms. The following procedures
must be followed carefully and performed only by suitably trained
personnel.

• Use only accessories and parts meeting or exceeding Honeywell

Analytics’ specications.

• The SPM Flex detector must be installed only by qualied professional
personnel in accordance with local codes.

• The safety of any system incorporating the SPM Flex gas detector is
the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

• Position a permanently-installed SPM Flex gas detector so that it does
not interfere with access to the dedicated circuit breaker.

• Use the supplied power adaptor/connector only. (The adaptor is rated

for indoor use only.)

• Do not leave the optics gate open. Doing so may allow pressurized
gases to escape through the tubing into the unit and then
environment.

into the local

The detector is supplied with weather-sealed connectors for power,
Ethernet, and communications (for relays or 4-20 mA). See the SPM Flex
manual if the detector is being mounted in a xed location.

Portable detectors must be charged at least four hours. (They can be used
while charging.) Honeywell Analytics recommends leaving the detector

connected to the power source/charger when not in use to keep the battery
fully charged.

Figure 3:

In the status bar, the color of the status bar changes according to the
conditions (blue = out of Monitor mode, green = status OK, yellow = fault,
red = alarm).

See Figure 10 (over) for the detector’s menu map.

The interface consists of a color LCD, a 4-button keypad, and four color
status LEDs. The menu options are navigated using these buttons:

The four LEDs provide at-a-glance information about the current state of

Unpacking the box

The contents of the box:

• the SPM Flex gas detector

• the handle assembly (for portable models only)

• power adaptor and cable

• shoulder strap (for portable models only)

• mounting bracket (for xed units only)

• a CD containing the Technical Manual

• this Quick Start Guide

Save the packaging to re-use for service requests.

1. Verify that the rocker switch under the cover is in the on position.
(Typically, it is switched off only for transport or service.) Do not power
up the detector with a ash drive attached.

2. Press and hold the Power/Cancel button until the green LED begins
blinking. The detector will then complete the start-up sequence.

3. To turn the detector off, press and hold the Power/Cancel button for 5

seconds or select “Power Off” from the menu.

Navigation

All SPM Flex menus are navigated by the four buttons shown in Figure 2.

Pressing either of the arrows or the Accept/Select button will access the
menu from the main display screen. The arrows are used to scroll up and
down through lists of options. The Accept/Select button is used to initiate a

highlighted option. During navigation, the Power/Cancel button will cancel a
command or, when pressed for more than 3 seconds, it will exit to the main

display.

Opening the Chemcassette® cartridge door

Loading a Chemcassette® cartridge

1. Navigate to the “Change Chemcassette” menu option.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install or change the cartridge.

3. Remove the paper optics card from the gate.

4. Insert the Chemcassette cartridge in the detector (it will t in only
one orientation). The take-up spindle will rotate slightly to allow the

cartridge to snap into place easily.

5. Close the cover.

6. A summary of the current conguration will be displayed. Select
either to enter monitor mode or to remain out of monitor mode (i.e.,

idle).

NOTE

Use Teon Fluorinated Ethylene Polymer (FEP) tubing to ensure proper

sample transport.

The SPM Flex detector is supplied with the standard Ethernet, power,

and communications connectors installed. The Ethernet connector can

be removed and provides a 1-inch conduit port which allows a direct

connection to the PCB communication terminals. Refer to the

tubing

section of the user manual for more information.

Removing a Chemcassette® cartridge

1. Navigate to Maintenance > Open/Close gate.

2. Select “Open Gate.”

3. Remove the cartridge.

4. Inert the optics card in the gate if the detector will be stored or

transported.

5. Select “Close Gate.”

Changing the selected gas

1. While out of monitor mode, navigate to Set-up > Monitoring > Gas.
