Note: When the gas level returns to the acceptable range, the gas alarm
stops.
The life of the battery decreases rapidly when in alarm conditions.
The battery life-ending alarm occurs when the battery life-remaining
clock displays 0 hours. The detector will continue to operate for 8
hours before automatically deactivating.
Maximum Gas Exposure
The detector records the maximum gas exposure that is in alarm and begins

For exposures beyond the detection range, over limit (OL) displays.

Performing a Self-Test

When Test displays, the self-test must be performed.
The self-test is activated prior to any other function. Press C to initiate.
Note: The self-test must be performed in an atmosphere that is free of
background gas.
After a self-test is performed, wait 30 seconds before using to ensure
the detector accurately detects gas.
To perform a self-test, press and hold C for approximately 1 second.
Confirm that the following tests are performed.
1. The detector emits one beep, one flash, and one vibration.
2. All LCD elements display.
3. Test flashes while the sensor integrity and battery life are tested.
4. The low and high alarm setpoints display.
5. If an alarm has occurred in the last 24 hours, the LCD displays the
maximum gas exposure value and the hours that have lapsed since
the exposure.
6. Prn and flash.
