General Information
The Proton
®
ZM is a portable clip-on gas monitor that is
operated by a single key and has a two-year life span
(typical). It can produce a maximum of 730 minutes of alarm
(equivalant to one minute of alarm per eight hours for over
two years).
The Proton®ZM is designed to be clipped to a hardhat, belt
or other clothing, for personal monitoring. Gas levels are
monitored at low and high set points, indicated by three
different types of alarm signals: audio, light and vibrating.
The Proton®ZM requires no calibration, however, a bump test
should be performed every 30 days.

Start-up
Before the monitor is used for the rst time, it is in standby
and the display is blank. To turn on the Proton®ZM:
1. Press and hold the button for five seconds. After a long
beep, the monitor performs a 30-second warm-up.
After the warm-up, the monitor is in normal operating
mode and the remaining typical life span of the battery is
displayed.
Operation
During normal operation, the Proton®ZM displays the typical
remaining operating life in months; no concentration is
displayed.
Operational life is limited to 730 minutes of alarm. The
number of alarm-minutes consumed can be viewed by
pressing the button (see Alarm Minutes Consumed on
page 7).
