Warnings and
Cautions – Monitor
Use and Care
Ensure you follow the applicable warnings and cautions indicated here.
Warni n g: This equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified personnel only.
Read and understand the guide completely before operating or servicing. Qualified
personnel as defined according to local, county, state, federal and individual company
standards.
Warni n g: When in doubt vacate the area immediately. You should vacate the area
immediately should the monitor indicate a warning or alarm condition. You should
know, understand and follow your company's safety protocols.
Warni n g: Ensure the atmosphere is free from toxic gases prior to starting any of the
procedures.
Warni n g: When the primary monitor is off line, ensure you have another online
monitor to actively detect gases. The monitor may be off line due to such activities,
like but not limited to, calibration, installation, maintenance, troubleshooting,
configuration, wiring and other activities.
Warni n g: If the monitor does not function as described herein, remove from service
and mark for maintenance. Only use Scott Safety replacement parts where applicable.
Warni n g: Only use the monitor to monitor the atmosphere for the gases and
concentrations for which it is set-up to detect.
Warni n g: To prevent ignition of an explosive atmosphere, read and adhere to the
manufacturer's live maintenance procedures.
Warni n g: Read this manual for intrinsic safety precautions. Substitution of
components may impair intrinsic safety, resulting in serious injury or death.
Warni n g: Perform a bump test every day. Failure to perform a daily functional test
could lead to serious injury or death.
Caution: Monitor will not operate without power applied. Thus, it only detects gases
while powered.
Caution: Periodically test for correct operation of the system's alarm events by
exposing the monitor to a targeted gas concentration above the high alarm set point.
Caution: Verify the gas inlet ports are free of dirt and debris prior to use.
Caution: Do not expose the monitor to severe mechanical or electrical shock. Always
conduct device startup and bump test procedures after such exposure to verify the
monitor's operation and accuracy.

permanent damage to sensors. Before using cleaners, solvents, and lubricants in close
proximity to the detector sensors, read and adhere to the warnings and cautions
indicated here.
Caution: Use only the following recommended products and procedures:
• Use water based cleaners
• Use non-alcohol based cleaners
• Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth
• Do not use soaps, polishes, or solvents
Warni n g: Extended exposure of the detector to high concentrations of toxic gases may
result in degraded sensor performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration
of toxic gases, exit to a safe area, bump test, recalibrate if necessary or, if needed, call
us.

Monitor Overview Protégé Single Gas is a portable gas detector designed to monitor different hazardous
gas levels. With one-button activation, a direct reading segment LCD, and bright
LEDs, Protégé Single Gas is simple to use. Due to its small size and light weight (5.3
oz.), the monitor is comfortable to hold and handle. All filters, lithium batteries,
alligator clips and sensors are field replaceable.
The monitor contains a data log for greater than 5000 events and records
STEL/TWA/PEAK exposures, calibrations and gas values. An IR connection allows
quick parameter configuration, monitor calibration and event log retrieval via the
Portable Gas Detection (PGD) Application Software.
The below list shows all the available interchangeable smart sensor options for the
Protégé Single Gas monitor.

Required items:
This assumes that you have already installed the PGD application and IR programmer
driver on your PC. See “Installing the USB driver” on page 13 for the driver
installation.
• Protégé Single Gas monitor
• A PC
• The IR programmer and its USB Cable
1 Plug the USB Cable into the PC USB port and the other end into the IR
programmer.
2 With the monitor powered on, place it face up or face down, within 1.9” to 3.6” in
front of the IR programmer. See “Default Settings” on page 17 Ensure the two IR
ports have a direct line of sight. See Figure 6.
Figure 6 Connecting the IR programmer to a PC
When face down, ensure monitor is level, or it will not be able to communicate with
the IR programmer. When face up, check for the Infrared Data Transfer Icon to
appear. This confirms communication between the monitor and the IR programmer
(Figure 7).

Operating the MonitorThis section describes the operational modes of the monitor.
Warni n g: If the monitor fails to respond properly upon start up, or if calibration is out
of date, do not use the device until it has been properly calibrated. Failure to do so
could result in death or injury.
The monitor uses a special high viewing angle LCD designed to enhance the screen
visibility. During operation, the LCD displays continuous data on gas concentrations
and alarm conditions. Additionally, you can monitor peak values of gas
concentrations.
The displayed value (for normal mode) appearing on the monitor’s LCD, may be
changed using the Portable Gas Detection (PGD) Application.
Warni n g: If monitor does not operate in the manner described here, do not use. Tag it
out of service. Failure to ensure it is properly operating may result in serious injury or
death.
Warni n g: You must familiarize yourself with the icons in both the non-alarm and
alarm states.
Warni n g: If the display is missing icons or cannot be clearly read, please contact the
service center.
Caution: High off-scale reading may indicate explosive concentration.

Monitor
Only power up the detector in an non-hazardous environment of 20.9% oxygen when
auto-zero function is enabled.
Power-Up SequenceThe LCD shows the power-up sequence while the detector initializes. The sensor
installed in the detector defines which gas type is shown on the LCD.
Warni n g: If the monitor does not operate in this fashion, do not use. Tag it out of
service. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Warni n g: Never operate the device in gas monitoring mode with the calibration
adapter attached. This can cause false readings of detected gases. Failure to do so
can lead to death or injury.
The displayed value (for normal mode) appearing on the monitor’s LCD, may be

Testing the MonitorThis section covers calibration of the monitor.
Warni n g: Operating a device that has exceeded its calibration date can cause false
readings of detected gases. Readings obtained while monitor is out of calibration are
invalid and could lead to death or injury.
Warni n g: Bump test and Calibration are not accurate if being performed immediately
after the startup.
Scott Safety recognizes the potential of the device when operated and maintained
correctly. As such, verifying proper operation of the device in the form of Span
Calibration and daily Bump Testing is essential to ensure the device performs as
intended in a potentially hazardous environment.
The frequency at which Calibration and Bump Testing occur is best determined based
on local regulatory standards, company policies, and industry best practices. Scott
Safety is not responsible for setting policies or practices.
• Zero Calibration — Is performed to establish baseline readings of atmospheres
that are known to be free of toxic or combustible gases.
• Span Calibration — Is performed to ensure the device detects target gases within
specified operating parameters. Calibration is the adjustment of the monitor’s
response to match a known concentration of gas. Sensors can lose sensitivity
through normal degradation, exposure to high gas concentrations, or sensor
poisoning. Accurate calibration can be achieved only if specific concentrations of
the correct gases are used.
• Bump Testing — Verifies the Span Calibration by subjecting the device to a
known concentration of gas, and verifies that the display reads PASS.

48APPENDIX B: SENSOR INFORMATION
Gas InterferencesThere are known gas interferences to a limited number of chemical compounds. Scott
Safety attempts to identify possible gas interferences to which gas sensors may be
exposed; however, not all chemical compounds that presently exist have been tested.
Table 21 provides known toxic gas interferences.
Table 21 does not show, nor should it be implied, that no additional interferences may
occur. These selectivity ratios are used as guides only. They are not to be used as
calibration factors. The gas species’ actual cross-sensitivities may vary from the
values shown.
Keys for Table 21.
• Zero – Indicates tested and confirmed no interferences
• Blank – Indicates not tested
• Neg – Indicates gas produces a negative signal
• Two values in a cell – Indicates initial peak and finish offset (unstable or transition
gas) and should not be used for cross calibration
