Omniguard™ 4
Section 3: Quick Setup & Usage
This section is a quick reference checklist for setting up your
Omniguard 4
.
1. Insert one end of pressure tubing inside the containment area.
Connect the other end of tubing to INLET #1.
2. Locate a convenient place for
Omniguard 4
outside the
containment. Plug power cord into a power outlet.
3. Turn the unit on. If the message Set Time & Date pops up, set
the correct Time & Date. This happens if the internal battery is
has died and the built-in clock lost its settings (don’t worry, the
battery is rechargable and lasts over 30 days between charges).
4. Press PRINT JOB for a printout of the previous job, if required.
A report for the previous job can be printed at any time.
5. Press START JOB to begin a new job. Enter a name for the new
job and then press SAVE to save the job name. The previous job
will end and a summary of it will print.
6. Check Alarm 1 & 2 setpoints (displayed in the monitor screen
window), adjust if needed.
7. Zero calibrating the unit before a new job is not required (nor
recommended). If desired, calibrate unit using ZERO
CALIBRATE menu item.
The status bar will indicate WAITING FOR PRESSURE and the
STATUS LED will flash green until containment pressure reaches the
operating window. Once this is reached, the status bar will display
NORMAL and the STATUS LED will change to steady green indicating
that the unit is now in its normal operational mode. Printing and
logging of pressure readings begins once the normal operational
mode is achieved.
During normal operation, the highest and lowest pressure readings
will be printed and logged into memory with a time/date stamp every
15 minutes (the default Print/Log rate).
If the monitored pressure then goes outside the operating window,
the unit will go into alarm mode. The buzzer will sound, the status
bar will change to a flashing >>ALARM<< and the STATUS LED will
flash red. The print and log rate of the pressure readings will
increase to every 15 seconds (the default Print/Log Alarm rate).
