AirAware
To insure there is no damage to the main electronics, it is recommended that
the circuit board be removed prior to relieving a knockout or drilling through
the pilot points for the flush mount option. Extreme caution should be taken
when removing and re-installing the circuit board so as not to damage it.
Wiring
Connect only to Class 2 power supply through approved conduit and
enclosures in accordance with local authorities having jurisdiction.
Recommended Cable: 3 or 4 conductors (application dependent), 24 AWG,
stranded tinned copper, shielded cable Belden #9842 or equivalent.
003
Warm-Up And Operation
All AirAware versions operate on 12-24 VDC. The Monitor version includes a
120 VAC power pack for North American electrical sockets (not included in
the International version) that supplies 24 VDC to the instrument.
Once powered, the instrument will go through an automatic self-test. During
this time it will complete a full display segment test, brief audio and visual
alarm test, software version, gas type, configuration M, C, T, CT (Note: “A”
as an indicator of optional audio alarm) and finally a live continuous display
of the gas concentration. During the first three minutes of operation the alarms
will not activate and the 4-20 mA signal with be held at 3 mA (16 mA for
O2).***
AirAware

Each AirAware utilizes electrochemical sensors that may require between 10
and 360 minutes (gas dependent) or 12-16 hours for NH3 and HCl to stabilize
when initially activated. During this warm-up period, the unit may display
concentrations of gas and possibly alarm.
***
A flashing decimal point on the lower right corner of the display will appear for 3 minutes after start-up,
calibration, bump, or programming. This is an indicator that the 4-20 mA signal is locked at 3 mA/16 mA and
that all alarm functions are disabled. Once this flashing indicator clears, all functions will return to normal.
During normal operation, the LED display shows:
HCl
0.2 to 30.0 ppm in 0.1 ppm increments
Cl2, NO2, SO2
0.2 to 99.9 in 0.1 ppm increments
NH3
4 to 200 ppm in 1 ppm increments
CO, H2S, NO
0 to 999 ppm in 1 ppm increments
O2
0.0 to 30.0% by volume in 0.1% increments

AirAware
ModBus Interface
The AirAware is a ModBus RTU compliant instrument. Please consult the
factory for detailed information of ModBus registers and settings for board
jumpers P1, P2 and P3.
Bump (function) Testing
Bump (function) testing is the act of
applying a known concentration of gas to
the monitor and verifying that the
instrument is performing properly. There
are two common philosophies when it
comes to BUMP or FUNCTION testing.
Applying gas to the instrument while in
the normal run mode and awaiting a
response within the allotted time is easily
achieved. When applying gas through the
calibration adapter, the unit should
respond to 90% of the reading within 2-3
minutes (sensor specific).
007
At this point all on-board and remote alarms should be activated and the 4-20
mA signal should reflect the display reading on the instruments.
If a test of the sensor and display only is required without the activation of onboard or external alarming devices, selecting the “BUMP” option in the Set-up
mode disables all alarming functions. At this point, the alarm relays* are
disabled, audio alarms* are disabled and the current output* locks at 3.0 mA
for all gases except oxygen, which goes to 16.0 mA. Instrument automatically
returns to normal operation.
If an instrument fails to operate properly following any bump “functional”
test, a full instrument calibration should be performed prior to use. Refer to
Section 11 (Calibration) for details.
Test gas kits for all gases, including oxygen, are available from Industrial
Scientific Oldham; see page 25 for ordering information.
AirAware
19
Zeroing
Zeroing an AirAware is the act of setting
the instrument to read either 000 ppm or
00.0 ppm (20.9 for oxygen) in a
gas/hazard-free environment. The
atmosphere must be clean and free from
the target gas during the zeroing process.
If through ventilation and other measures
it is impossible to entirely remove the
target gas from your facility, bottled
“zero” gas should be applied to the
instrument.
Connect the zero gas bottle, regulator,
and tubing to the calibration adapter.
Connect adapter to sensor opening and
open regulator. Allow zero gas to flow for
a minimum of 2 minutes.
007
007
With the “zero” gas still flowing to the sensor, press and hold the
key for
a total of 10 seconds. During the first 5 seconds the normal screen is still
displayed. During the next 5 seconds, the text or numeric display flashes once
per second. If the key is still held after the full 10 seconds the word “ZERO” is
displayed.
***
A flashing decimal point on the lower right corner of the display will appear for 3 minutes after start-up,
calibration, bump, or programming. This is an indicator that the 4-20 mA signal is locked at 3 mA and that all
alarm functions are disabled. Once this flashing indicator clears, all functions will return to normal.
Release the key and the zeroing process begins. At the end of the zero process,
the word "PASS" or "FAIL" is displayed for 5 seconds along with a .25
second audible beep, after which time the unit reverts to the normal reading
screen. An oxygen sensor will always be zeroed to 20.9%, regardless of what
the span gas is set to, and no span reserve is shown for oxygen during zeroing.
If the unit displays "FAIL" try again ensuring the area is free of the target gas.
If the unit fails a second time the sensor may need to be replaced. Contact
Industrial Scientific Oldham Corporation for a replacement sensor; see page
24 for ordering information.
20
AirAware
Calibration
Industrial Scientific recommends that a full instrument calibration be
performed using a certified concentration(s) of Industrial Scientific Oldham
branded calibration gas(es) quarterly to ensure maximum accuracy. Use of
calibration gases from manufacturers other than Industrial Scientific Oldham
may void product warranties and limit liability claims against the
manufacturer.
Calibrating the AirAware is simply applying a known concentration of gas to
the unit, and “telling” the unit to self-adjust to read that concentration. The
calibration values are pre-programmed into the instrument in order to simplify
the procedure. For details on changing this pre-programmed value, refer to
page 15.
Standard AirAware Calibration Settings
CO - 100 ppm
Cl2 - 10 ppm
HCl - 10 ppm
H2S - 25 ppm
NH3 - 25 ppm
NO - 25 ppm
NO2 - 5 ppm
O2 – 20.9%
SO2 - 5 ppm
To calibrate the instrument:
• If necessary, connect zero air gas bottle, regulator and tubing to the
calibrator adapter.
• Press and hold the
button. After 5 seconds, the display will blink five
times and "Zeroing" will appears on the display. Release the
button.
• After the unit finishes auto-zeroing, it will display either PASS or FAIL. If
the sensor passes the zeroing function, switch gas cylinder and connect the
calibration adapter to the sensor opening and start the flow of gas to the
sensor by opening the regulator. Maintain the flow of gas to the sensor
until the display indicates "PASS XXX" or "FAIL". During this time the
display will flash the SPAN RESERVE value of the sensor. Once
calibration is complete, the display will flash "PASS XXXX" or
"FAILED".
• If the unit indicates “PASS XXX,” document the XXX (span reserve)
value in your calibration records. Remove calibration gas and disassemble
regulator from cylinder.***
AirAware
21
• If the unit indicates “FAIL,” the display will alternate between “FAIL” and
actual readings. The audible alarm will sound every 1/2 second and the 420 mA signal will reflect displayed readings.***
Check the following if the unit indicates:
• “Fail”.
• Calibration gas cylinder concentration matches the pre-programmed
calibration gas settings in the “Set-up” mode.
• Calibration gas cylinder is not empty.
***
A flashing decimal point on the lower right corner of the display will appear for 3 minutes after start-up,
calibration, bump, or programming. This is an indicator that the 4-20 mA signal is locked at 3 mA and that all
alarm functions are disabled. Once this flashing indicator clears, all functions will return to normal.
If the unit fails a second time the sensor may need to be replaced. Contact
either your local distributor of Industrial Scientific Oldham Corporation
instruments or Industrial Scientific Oldham directly.
NOTE: Use only Industrial Scientific Oldham test gas equipment.
Sensor Replacement
Occasionally, AirAware sensors will need to be replaced. Repeated failures of
zero, calibration, and bump tests can be indications that the sensor has
degraded. Replacement sensors are available from authorized Industrial
Scientific Oldham distributors. Refer to page 24, Replacement Sensors and
Accessories, for part numbers.
To replace a sensor in the AirAware:
• Remove power from the unit.
• Remove the optional vanity plate (if installed) from the face of the
instrument by releasing the locking tabs (page 9).
• Loosen the 5 Phillips head (captive) screws on the faceplate allowing it to
hinge downward (page 8).
• Unplug the used sensor and discard.
22
AirAware
006
• Remove the shorting clip or small bias circuit board from the replacement
sensor, aligning the holes in the board with the pins on the sensor; plug the
new sensor into the instrument.
009
• Replace cover, and reapply power.
Once powered, the display will briefly show the symbol for the gas being
monitored, then a live display of the gas concentration. Each AirAware
utilizes electrochemical sensors that may require between 10 and 360 minutes
(gas dependent) or 12-16 hours for NH3 and HCl to stabilize when initially
activated. During this warm-up period, the unit may display concentrations of
gas and possibly alarm. Allow sufficient time for the instrument to stabilize
prior to proceeding.
