First line of display shows current level in menu tree, second line displays sub-menu title, action or data.
8. Select DISPLAY mode on Handheld Interrogator and check displayed gas reading is 0.0% LEL.
Optima+ Methane
0.0 %LEL \
If displayed gas reading is not 0.0% LEL, check that there is no background gas concentration present,
optics are clean and free from condensation and unit has been given sufficient time to stabilize in its
operating environment.
For best results, it is recommended that a unit is left powered up for one hour before performing zero or
span calibration / test activities
9. Perform a functional gas test – bump test

Detector inhibits 4-20mA output which prevents gas readings from being signaled on 4-20mA output. For
a nominal 50% LEL test gas concentration, displayed reading should be between 45% LEL and 55% LEL
If necessary, test gas concentrations between 20%LEL and 95%LEL can be used with same +/- 5% LEL
test tolerance
If displayed gas reading falls within +/-5% LEL test tolerance range, functional gas test is successful
10. When concentration levels are below alarm thresholds or at zero, press ESC to return 4-20 output to
normal state and exit
