CHAPTER

Alarms
This section describes the detector alarms and corresponding screens. During an alarm condition,
the detector activates the backlight, audible/visual/vibrator alarms, and displays the current
ambient gas reading. If more than one type or level of alarm exists simultaneously, a multi-gas
alarm results.
To change the factory-defined alarm setpoints, refer to Low Alarm, High Alarm, TWA Alarm, and
STEL Alarm in See "Device Configuration" on page28 for more information..

low alarm condition. The LED and visual alarm indicators remain active until the alarm condition
changes or the detector deactivates. Press to acknowledge the low alarm and deactivate the
audible alarm. If the alarm escalates to a high, TWA, or STEL alarm, the audible alarm reactivates.
