Horn
The horn provides an audible alarm.
InstantAlert™ Alarm
The InstantAlert exclusive feature allows the user to manually activate an audible
alarm to alert those nearby to potentially dangerous situations. Holding the
button for approximately 5 seconds while in Normal Measure Mode activates the
InstantAlert alarm. Access to this feature may be restricted. See chapter 3.4 for
means to allow/disallow user access.
MotionAlert™ Alarm
If MotionAlert is turned ON [+ = ON] [see chapter 3.4], the device activates a "Man
Down" alarm if motion is not detected within 30 seconds. The Alarm LEDs flash,
and the horn activates with an increasing audible frequency. MotionAlert is always
turned OFF when the device is turned OFF. It must always be turned ON prior to
use.
Access to this feature may be restricted. See chapter 3.4 for means to allow/disal-
low user access.
Stealth Mode
Stealth Mode disables the visual, audible and vibrating alarms. MSA recommends
that this feature be left in its default "OFF" state. Stealth mode can be turned ON
through the SETUP - INSTRUMENT OPTIONS menu [chapter 3.4]. The message
"Alarms OFF" flashes on the monochrome display when Stealth mode is ON. On
the colour display, all three alarm icons are shown as OFF.
Sensor Life Alarm
The device evaluates the condition of the sensors during Calibration. As the end of
a sensor’s life approaches, a warning is provided. While the sensor is still fully func-
tional, the warning gives the user time to plan for a replacement sensor to minimise
downtime. The Sensor Life indicator ♥ displays during ongoing operations as a re-
minder of a sensor’s pending end of life.
When a sensor’s end-of-life is reached, sensor calibration will not be successful,
and the user is then alerted by a Sensor Life Alarm. A flashing Sensor Life
iindicator ♥ displays during ongoing operations until the sensor is replaced and/or
successfully calibrated.
On the monochrome display the Sensor Life indicator appears on the display at the
same position as the MotionAlert indicator. If MotionAlert is enabled [the + indicator
displays] and a Sensor Life warning or alarm occurs, the Sensor Life indicator ♥
takes priority and is shown instead.
