2. Introduction
The Protégé unit comes installed with a re-chargeable lithium ion battery and sensors already
installed and ready for use. A CD-ROM containing the Protégé Gas Monitor software comes with the
unit and must be installed to modify Protégé settings or capture data from the unit.
Depending on the sensors it is equipped with, the Scott Protégé personal multi-gas monitor is
designed for monitoring the atmosphere for potentially hazardous levels of combustible gases,
oxygen enrichment or depletion, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide.
Gas indication is displayed to users by a direct reading backlit LCD, multiple bright LEDs, a loud
audible alarm, and a vibratory alarm. The Protégé includes a downloadable data log for up to 4000
events and records STEL / TWA / PEAK exposures, calibrations, and gas values. A built-in USB
port on the charging module allows the monitor’s data log to be downloaded and, when used with
the Protégé’s interface software (included), allows users to quickly configure its operating and alarm
parameters.
The Protégé is powered by a long life rechargeable lithium-ion battery. An optional sample draw
pump is available for remote sampling. Additionally, an optional multi-charger is available that will
charge up to six Protégé units simultaneously.
