Functions

1.4.1

Security beep

The ToxiPro includes a security beep that can be
enabled or disabled with BioTrak software through the
PC's IrDA port. If the security beep is enabled, the
ToxiPro will emit a short beep coupled with an LED flash
at a specific interval to remind the user that the
instrument is active.
1.4.2

Latching alarms

The ToxiPro includes latching alarms that can be
enabled or disabled with BioTrak software through the
PC's IrDA port. With the alarm latch enabled, the
audible and visible alarms will continue to sound even
after the atmospheric hazard has cleared. To turn the
alarm off once the hazard is no longer present, simply
press the MODE button.
1.4.3

Enhanced Latching Alarm

Note: V9.20 or greater ToxiPro firmware and V8.00 or
greater is required of all IQ System software to
support the Enhanced Latching Alarm.
The enhanced latching capability can be enabled for the
danger alarm using an IQ System template and apply
the template in ToxiPro IQ Express.
The user can specify the duration for latching of the
Danger alarm. When the instrument goes into the
danger alarm for greater than or equal to the user
defined duration for latching then the alarm is latched.
When the alarm is latched and if the gas level goes
below the alarm level, the audible and visual alarms will
continued.
If alarm latching is enabled and the instrument is in
alarm for less than the latching duration, the alarm will
not latch when the gas level drops below the alarm level.
Latch Acknowledgement
A latched alarm latch can be acknowledged by two
methods. The first is either by mode press or inserting
the instrument into the dock. The second is by dock
insertion only. The method is selectable in the IQ
System template.
Note: For more information on creating and
assigning templates, please refer to the Database
Manager Reference manual.
1.4.4

Silence warning alarms

The ToxiPro's audible and vibrating (if so equipped)
alarms can be turned off during an alarm condition by
pressing the MODE button if this function has been
enabled with BioTrak software. The visual warning
alarm light and readings will continue to indicate the
alarm.
1.5

The ToxiPro must be equipped with instrument firmware
version 4.30 or higher to be compatible with the IQ
Express Docking Station. The IQ Express Dock is an

management system. The IQ Express Dock must be
equipped with firmware version 6.53 or higher.
Instrument firmware in the ToxiPro may be upgraded at
