The Solaris Multigas Detector can be equipped to detect combustible
gases in the atmosphere.
• Alarms sound when concentrations reach:
• Alarm Setpoint or
• 100% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), 5% CH

.
• When the combustible gas indication reaches the Alarm Setpoint:
• Alarm sounds
• Alarm lights flash
• % LEL or CH

flag above the concentration flashes.
• To silence the alarm, press the RESET button.
NOTE: The alarm will stay silent if the alarm condition has cleared.
• When the combustible gas indication reaches 100% LEL or 5%
CH

, the LockAlarm
TM
circuit locks the combustible gas reading and
alarm and:
• Alarm sounds
• Alarm lights flash
• 100 or 5.00 appears on the display and flashes.
• This alarm cannot be reset with the RESET button.
If the 100% LEL or 5.00% CH
4
alarm condition is reached, you
may be in a life-threatening situation; there is enough gas in
the atmosphere for an explosion to occur. In addition, any
rapid up-scale reading followed by a declining or erratic read-
ing can also be an indication that there is enough gas for an
explosion. If either of these indications occur, leave and move
away from the contaminated area immediately. Failure to fol-
low this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
• After moving to a safe, fresh-air environment, reset the alarm by
turning OFF the instrument and turning it ON again.
