Safety Manual 4–1
4 - EQUIPMENT OPERATION
This chapter provides an overview of safety operational instructions for the
SS2100 analyzer.
Firmware Version
Each SpectraSensors analyzer operates based on its own version of firmware.
The firmware version for each analyzer is listed in the system calibration report,
and displays upon start-up of the analyzer. Detailed operational instructions are
provided in the firmware manual shipped with the purchased analyzer. Manuals
can also be found on the SpectraSensors website (www.spectrasensors.com)
by model type.
Operating Controls
The front panel mounted keypad enables the operator to modify measurement
units, adjust operational parameters, and perform diagnostics. These
instructions are found in the appropriate firmware manual.
During normal operation, the LCD continuously displays the measured
component’s concentration, sample cell temperature, and sample cell pressure.
The SpectraSensors keypads for CSA and ATEX certified products are shown in
Figure 4–1 and Figure 4–2 on page 4–2. CSA-certified products include the
SS2100, 2-Pack, 3-Pack, SS500/SS2000/SS300, SS500e/SS2000e/SS3000e,
SS500XP/SS2000XP. ATEX-certified products include the SS2100a, SS2100i-1
and SS2100i-2.
To activate any functions on the keypad, press the mode key # followed by a
number on the keypad to specify a mode.
When you press the # key, the words <MODE MENU> display on the LCD. If
the keypad watchdog is enabled, a countdown timer will begin when <MODE
MENU> displays. If the countdown expires and no buttons have been pressed,
the analyzer will automatically revert to Mode 1.
The * key functions as the “Enter” key. When in Mode 2, always press * after
entering a value using the keypad (unless the entry was made in error).
Pressing the * key stores the displayed parameter value and cycles the LCD to
the next parameter.
If you do make an error, press the * key followed by the TEST key, and then
the * key to return to the parameter and enter the correct value.
You must press the # key before pressing a number or function
key to trigger a response from the keypad.
