3.2 ACKNOWLEDGE GAS ALARMS
Once the gas reading has returned within the pre-set limits,
press and hold the button to silence the alarm sounder and
extinguish the gas LED’s.
Alarm Muting:
Mute ‘enabled’ silences alarm for 60 seconds.
Mute ‘disabled’ cannot silence the alarm until gas reading

If alarm conguration allows muting of audible alarm, the
following applies (see “Table 2.1 PS500 Alarms” on page
2-15):
• Non-latching: Once alarm has been muted, the audible
alarm is cancelled for a period of 60 seconds, and if gas
concentration during that time returns within the pre-set
limits, the visual alarm clears automatically.
• Latching: If audible alarm has been muted and if
gas concentration during that time returns within the
pre-set limits, audible and visual alarms require to be
acknowledged to clear, after 60 seconds.
