Warning

• Never operate the monitor when the cover is removed.

• Remove the monitor cover only in area known to be non-

hazardous.

• Use only mPower’s sensor and accessories. Substitution of

components will impair suitability for intrinsic safety and void
warranty.

• It is recommended to bump test with a known concentration

gas to confirm the instrument is functioning properly before
use.

• For maximum safety, the accuracy of the instrument should

be checked by exposing it to a known concentration
calibration gas before each day’s use.

• Ensure that the gas inlet is not blocked.

• When replacing batteries, dispose of old ones properly.

• To achieve the optimal test results, it is recommended to

preheat the unit for 2 minutes after entering the test
interface

• Make sure that the water-trap filter is clean and replaced in

time.

• Don’t remove the sensor. Zero and span calibration is

required once the sensor is moved.

• Before use, ensure that the ESD film on the display is not

damaged or peeling.

Avertissement

• N'utilisez jamais le moniteur lorsque le couvercle est enlevé.

• Retirer le couvercle du moniteur et la batterie uniquement

dans une zone connue comme non dangereuse.

• La substitution de composants compromettra l'aptitude à la

sécurité intrinsèque et annulera la garantie.

• Il est recommandé de tester avec un gaz de concentration co

nnu pour confirmer que l'instrument fonctionne correctemen
t avant de l'utiliser.

• Avant de l’utiliser, assurez-vous que le film ESD sur

l'écran n'est pas endommagé ou épluché.

Turning the Unit On

Press and hold the Down Key for 3 seconds, until
the buzzer beeps and the red LED flashes. After a
warm up and self-test sequence, the unit enters
normal reading mode, showing real time gas
concentrations.

Turning the Unit Off

In normal reading mode, press and hold the Down
Key for a 5-second count down, until “Unit Off” is
displayed.

Charging

Always fully charge the battery before use. Plug
charger to the bottom of MP18X. Unit LCD will
show charge status. While charging, the LCD
displays a battery icon cycle from empty to full.
When the battery is fully charged, the LCD displays a
full battery.

Water-trap Filter

Water-trap filters (P/N: M490-0005-010) are used
to protect the sensor from dust and aerosols in dirty
environments. The filter should be twisted on to the
gas inlet before the instrument is used replaced once
its surface is dirty.

Testing the Alarms

Important! Test the alarms prior to performing a
bump or span calibration test. If any alarm does not
respond, check the Alarm Settings in Config Mode to
make sure all alarms are enabled (Config Mode →
Alm Setting → Alarm Settings → Both Enabled). If
any alarms are enabled but are not functional, do not
use the instrument.

Under normal operation mode and non-alarm
conditions, the buzzer, LED and backlight can be
tested anytime by pressing the Right Key once.

Normal Mode

After warm-up is complete, the unit enters normal
reading mode and displays the instantaneous gas
concentration continuously.

Other values like STEL, TWA, and temperature,
etc. can be checked by pressing the Up/Down Key to
cycle through these screens one by one.

Configuration Mode

In Config Mode, the user can perform a sensor
calibration, change the alarm limits and set up other
parameters.
