The presence of a ♥ indicator on the display means a sensor is approaching or has
reached its end-of-life. See chapter 2.2 for details on the Sensor Life Alarm situa-
tion.
Refer to flowchart in Appendix, chapter 7.1.
Sampling Safety Test
Upon startup, an alarm [visual, audible and vibrating] is triggered and the customer
is prompted to block the pumps/sampling system of the device within 30 seconds.
When the device detects a pump flow block, it will display a PASS message. The
startup sequence will be resumed.
If the device does not detect a pump flow block, it will display an error message.
The device will shut off after the customer acknowledges this message by pressing
the button.
Check your sampling system if this occurs and contact MSA as needed.
Users can check the operation of the sampling system anytime during operation by
blocking the sampling system to generate a pump alarm.
- X = the number of days until a calibration is due, user selectable for
1to180days.
If the number of days until calibration is due reaches 0, an alert occurs and
"CAL DUE, NOW" displays.
- Press the button to clear the alert
Warning!
Do not use the pump, sample line, or probe unless the pump alarm acti-
vates when the flow is blocked. Lack of an alarm is an indication that a
sample may not be drawn to the sensors, which could cause inaccurate
readings.
Failure to follow the above can result in serious personal injury or death.
Never let the end of the sampling line touch or go under any liquid sur-
face. If liquid is drawn into the device, readings will be inaccurate and de-
vice could be damaged. We recommend the use of an MSA sample
probe containing a special membrane filter, permeable to gas but imper-
meable to water, to prevent such an occurrence.
