The inclusion of a pressure sensor in the Sub Aspida provides accurate, pressure compensated O2 and CO2 readings across 800 to 1200mbar pressure. The inclusion of a belt clip attachment allows for secure and comfortable attachment of the Sub Aspida to clothing for portable, personal protection.
Installation of the Sub Aspida & HBOT Aspida Before using the Analox Sub or HBOT Aspida, batteries should be inserted into the instrument. If using the rechargeable batteries provided, it should be given a full charge cycle. A full charge cycle will be complete within approximately 4.5 hours.
0 Battery installation The Analox Sub and HBOT Aspida’s are powered by a pair of standard AA batteries. The devices can be powered using the NiMH re-chargeable batteries included in the product package or using a pair of standard AA type non-rechargeable batteries.
The Analox Aspida may be used with standard rechargeable AA type batteries which have been charged using a third-party charging device. However, only NiMH batteries provided by Analox should be used when attempting to charge batteries within the device using the mains charger.
NOTE: The device cannot be turned off when powered from USB. User registration The Analox Aspida allows for registration of up to two usernames. This allows users to share use of the device. On start-up, a username is selected, and all subsequent gas information is logged internally against the selected user ID.
Int. Approved Gas alarms The Analox Aspida has a range of configurable alarms to warn the user of potentially dangerous atmospheres. For each gas sensor fitted to the device, up to 3 configurable alarms are available. In the case of carbon dioxide, an extra time weighted average (TWA) alarm is provided. See section 5.17 for more details.
Sometimes it is useful for a user to be alerted to a harmful gas level, even after the level of gas has dropped to a safe level. The Analox Aspida can be configured to use latching alarms so that alarms triggered by harmful gas levels will not be missed.
5.13 Quiet alarms Sometimes it is desirable to suppress the audible indication when alarm is triggered. The Analox Aspida provides an option to allow alarms to be silenced. The quiet alarms option can be set using the Aspida configuration software. The display will indicate quiet mode with an icon in the status area.
5.14 Data logging The Analox Aspida has a built in data-logging facility which will automatically log gas readings for all fitted sensors and pressure, whenever the device is active. Readings are logged to internal memory at a rate configurable through the user software. The device is capable of storing over 7 days of continuous data.
8-hour daily working shift. The Analox Aspida has a facility which automatically calculates a TWA value on a per-user basis. When a user powers on the device and selects a user ID, the Analox Aspida begins calculating and continuously updating that user’s own TWA.
Aspida requires both a low and high oxygen calibration to be performed using calibration gas in order to clear a calibration due notification, whereas a Sub Aspida and a HBOT Aspida need only a high oxygen calibration in fresh air.
