ALARMS
3.1 GAS ALARMS
Gas alarms are enabled when the instrument is switched
on.
Note: Alarms are disabled during warm-up.
All gas ranges have alarm limits that trigger the alarm if
the measured gas value exceeds the set level. If a preset
alarm level is exceeded, the audible alarm sounds, the
LED's flash RED and the gas range in alarm flashes on
the display.
3.1.1 Flammable LEL Alarm Limit
Up to two (2) alarm levels are programmable, each with
different pitch and tone. All alarms are user configurable
to meet the specific needs of different companies.
3.1.2 Over-Range Flammable Gas Alarm Function
The flammable sensor is designed for use in the LEL
range only. Exposure to high concentrations of flammable
gas, such as lighter fuel, can damage the flammable sensor.
If the flammable gas readings exceed 120% LEL, a safety
alarm will be activated. The instrument must now be
switched off and returned to clean air.
