1. Introduction

The NORTH EAGLES gas detecting watch “Eagle 1” is a single gas detection instrument manufactured by
NORTH EAGLES in Switzerland. The watch permanently measures the concentration of H2s gas in the
ambient air and triggers an alarm once the pre-set gas levels on the watch are exceeded.
It is the wearer’s responsibility to properly react to this alarm.

2. Safety Warning To Read Before Any Operating Of The Watch

1. Never replace the sensor, the battery or any other components by any person other than certified

North Eagles technicians.

2. Never change the battery in a ATEX zone.

3. Regularly test the reaction of the watch by exposing the watch to a gas concentration superior to the

low gas alarm setting.

4. When the watch is in « sleep » mode, it will not detect any gas level.

3. Security Warning To Read Before Any Operating Of The Watch

1. This watch is a gas detecting and alarm system instrument and not a measuring instrument.

2. The watch is water resistant and water splash resistant. It is strongly advised not to immerse the

watch in water, wear in the shower, wear for swimming or diving. Its functioning could be seriously
altered.

3. Verify that the sensor caption grille is free from dust, oil splashes or any other materials. Always make

sure the sensor grille is never obstructed.

4. Always use a clean and humid cloth to clean the exterior of the watch.

8. Alarm

The watch is continuously measuring the presence of gas in the ambient air.
In case of gas detection, the watch automatically reverts to code «ALARM
Once gas is no longer detected, the watch reverts to TIME mode

8.1. Alarm Mode

In ALARM mode, the disc indicates DETECT . The hour hand indicates the actual gas detected on the gas
detection display scale. The minute hand indicates the maximum gas concentration reached.
In case of alarm, the red LED will flash, the vibrator will vibrate and a loud BIP will sound.

9. TWA and Exposed Duration

When the watch is exposed to gas, both following values can be read:

- TWA (Time Weighted Average), is the average time of exposure to gas on 8 hours.

- Maximum exposition, this is the maximum level of gas concentration measured.
It is possible to view the TWA and Maximum exposition when the watch is not exposed to gas.

9.1. TWA Display

From the «TIME » mode, press the pusher EXP to display the TWA. The disc will indicate the TWA.
The minutes hand will move to the 9 o’clock position and the hour hand.
To re-instate the TWA, press both pushers simultaneously during 3 seconds.

From the TWA mode, the watch will return automatically to mode «TIME » after 10 seconds

9.2. Maximum Exposition Display

10. EOL (EOL=End Of Life)

It is possible to read the following two values:

- EOL SENSOR, indicator of sensor caption (time before re-calibrating).

- EOL BATTERY, battery end of life indicator.

The sensor must be re-calibrated frequently. This period of time is configurable only with the technical
application (the default value is 2 years)

Checking EOL SENSOR and EOL Battery is only possible when the watch is not exposed to gas.

10.1. EOL Sensor Display

From the TIME mode, press the EOL pusher to display the EOL of the SENSOR. The disc
indicates SENSOR.
The minutes hand will align to 9 o’clock, and the hour hand will indicate the % of the time before re­calibrating

From the EOL SENSOR mode, the watch will automatically return into HEURE (hour) mode, after 10
seconds.

10.2. Re-initialisation Of The Deadline For Recalibrating The Sensor

From the EOL SENSOR mode, press both pushers simultaneously for 3 seconds. A beep sound indicates
that the re-calibration is set back to zero.

10.3. EOL Battery Display

From the EOL SENSOR mode, press the EOL pusher to display the EOL BATTERY. Indication on disc is:
BATT.
The minute hand will align at 9 o’clock and the hour hand indicates the % of the remaining charge of the
battery.
From the EOL BATTERY mode, the watch will return automatically the TIME mode after 10 seconds.

10.4. Reset Of Battery EOL

From the EOL BATTERY mode, press simultaneously both pushers during 10 seconds.
A beep will indicate that the EOL battery is reset to zero.

10.5. Recalibration Time Expired

When the sensor must be recalibrated (< 5% of the time), the watch does not not display the time
anymore and the disc will display SENSOR and the hour hand will show the lowest point on the scale
marked REPLACE on the dial.

10.6. Battery Discharged

When the battery is discharged (<5%) the watch does no longer display the time of day, and the disc will
display BATT and the hour hand will indicate the lowest point on the scale marked REPLACE on the dial.
.

10.7. Priority Of Automatic Alarms

There are 3 automatic alarms displayed as follows:

1- Gas alarm detected
2- Battery discharged
3- Re-calibrate sensor

11. Calibration

When the watch is subjected to a significant shock, it is possible that the disc or the hands lose their
alignment.
Also, during a battery change, it is necessary to re-calibrate the disc and hands.

11.1. Calibration Of The Hands And Disc

From the «TIME » mode, press simultaneously both pushers. A first beep indicates that the watch
switches to HOUR SETTING mode.
Keep pressing both pushers. After 3 seconds, a second beep indicates that the watch switches
to CALIBRATION. The disc indicates DETECT, and the hands move on top of each others at
12 o’clock.
If the disc is not exactly on DETECT or if the hands are not exactly on 12 0’clock, a calibration is
necessary.
Press pusher EXP to move the hour hand by one step clock wise.
Press the pusher EOL to turn the hour hand by one step counter clock wise.
Align the hour hand precisely at 12 o’clock.

Press simultaneously both pushers to calibrate the minute hand.

Press pusher EXP to move the minute hand by one step clock wise.
Press the EOL pusher to move the minute hand of a step counter clock wise.
Align the minutes hand precisely at 12 o’clock.

Press both pushers simultaneously to calibrate the disc.

Press EXP pusher to move disc by a step clock wise.
Press the EOL pusher to move disc of a step anti-clock wise.
Align disc precisely on the red DETECT window.

Press simultaneously both pushers to finish calibration.
With no action, the watch automatically resets to

«TIME » mode after 30 seconds.

12. Sleep mode

The sleep mode purpose is to avoid battery discharge.
When in this mode, the gas detection is disactivated. The hands are resting at 9 o’clock and the disc is
resting on SENSOR. The watch will keep the time but will not display it anymore
The sleep mode can be only activated by an authorized service centre.
When changing battery, the watch automatically reverts to SLEEP.
