What to do if my MSA Gas Detectors show a BATT ERR?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display a 'BATT ERR' message accompanied by flashing LEDs and a horn, this indicates the battery is empty and the device is no longer sensing gas. Immediately remove the device from service and replace the battery.
How to resolve a battery warning on MSA Gas Detectors?
If your MSA Gas Detectors show a battery warning (without an alarm), you should remove the device from service as soon as possible and replace the battery.
What to do if MSA Gas Detectors display a sensor alarm?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display a sensor alarm, it means the sensor has reached the end of its life and cannot be calibrated. Replace the sensor and recalibrate the device.
What does a sensor warning mean on MSA Gas Detectors?
A sensor warning on your MSA Gas Detectors indicates that the sensor is near the end of its life.
How to fix MEM RST error on MSA Gas Detectors?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display a 'MEM RST' error, it is due to a data error. You should calibrate the device and reconfigure any custom settings, such as alarm setpoints and data logging.
