Page 6: Product Overview
Contact your service representative immediately if you suspect that the unit is working abnormally. Product Overview The Tango TX1 is a portable, long-life, single-gas monitor (instrument) for personal protection. It is a diffusion instrument for use in detecting and measuring gas present in open space. Based on the customer’s order, two redundant sensors –...
Page 7: Dualsense ® Technology
ORTS AND EMORY The Tango TX1’s multi-plane sensor ports each sample air from three directions; this promotes continuous operation if one or two planes become obstructed. Since the TX1 measures gas at two second intervals, and continuously logs data every ten seconds, the data log can store approximately three months of data for a unit that is on 24 hours a day and has two installed, operational sensors.

Page 11: Introduction
When docked, instruments that are supported by iNet® Control or DSSAC (Docking Station Docking. Software Admin Console) will be maintained for all scheduled bump tests and calibrations, synchronized for any changes to settings, and upgraded for improvements from Industrial Scientific.
Page 12: Recommendations
If conditions do not permit daily bump testing, the procedure may be done less frequently based on company safety policy. The Tango TX1 self-test is performed automatically during the start-up process. It can be user-initiated from operation mode. Note: The use of calibration gases not provided by ISC may void product warranties and limit potential liability claims.
Page 13: First Use
First Use To prepare the Tango TX1 for first use, qualified personnel should configure and calibrate the unit. Wearing the Instrument Based on the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) definition of the breathing zone, it is recommended that the unit be worn within a 25.4 cm (10") radius of the nose and mouth.

In configuration mode, indicates a time-based setting (e.g. bump test response time). Used in combination with other indicators to communicate maintenance required warnings. In configuration mode, indicates a date-based setting (e.g., bump test interval).
Page 18: Start-Up And Shutdown
Start-up and Shutdown The start-up and shutdown sequences are outlined below and feature reproductions of the display screens the instrument operator will see during these processes (see Table 3.4). Instructions accompany any display screen where the instrument operator must press a button to proceed. The instrument operator may be prompted to complete the time- and date-setting tasks during start-up.
Page 19 Shutdown Press and hold for five seconds. After a five-second countdown: The instrument powers off if;  the always-on feature is disabled or Countdown  the always-on feature is enabled and the security code is set to 000. If this screen is activated, the shutdown process is security-code protected. To complete shutdown, the user must enter the correct three-digit code.
Page 21: Configuration
Instrument Preparation and Use Configuration Operation Zero, Calibration, and Bump Testing Configuration Read and understand all configuration instruction before configuring the unit. As noted in "Recommended Practices", the unit should be configured before first use, when there is a change in the installed sensor type (e.g., H S sensors are replaced with CO sensors), and as needed.
Page 22: Table 4.1 Configuration Instruction
Any changes made in configuration mode are automatically saved to the unit and take effect immediately. Upon next docking, settings are updated according to the unit's settings in iNet Control. The configuration-mode loop is outlined below (see Table 4.1). Instructions for button use accompany each configuration-mode display screen.
Page 23 Table 4.1 Configuration instruction Setting Description Button Button effect This display screen features the status, alarm, sensor type, and configuration icons, with the measurement unit and current setting. The gas-alert setpoint is less than the low alarm setpoint. When the value is set lower than the low gas alarm setpoint, the gas-alert will notify the operator before the low alarm notification.
Page 24 Table 4.1 Configuration instruction Setting Description Button Button effect This display screen features the status, lock, configuration, and STEL icons. The technician can enable or disable the option for operation-mode access. When enabled, the instrument operator is permitted to view and clear the unit's STEL reading while the unit is in operation mode.
Page 25 Table 4.1 Configuration instruction Setting Description Button Button effect This display screen features the status, configuration, and calendar icons, with the current date setting. The year is displayed in the lower left corner. In the main display, the first two digits represent the date and the second two digits represent the month.
Page 26 Table 4.1 Configuration instruction Setting Description Button Button effect This display screen features the status, lock, configuration, and bump test icons, with the selection number in the main area. The technician can enable or disable this operation mode feature. When enabled, the instrument operator is given access to bump test the unit from operation Operation-mode bump test mode.
Page 27 Table 4.1 Configuration instruction Setting Description Button Button effect This display screen features the status, clock, configuration, and bump test icons, with the current setting in seconds in the main area. A sensor passes a bump test when it senses the specified percentage of calibration gas within the specified response time setting.

Page 39: Overview
Take seriously all alarms, warnings, and indicators, and respond to each according to company policy. Alarms The Tango TX1 instruments have alarms of two different intensities, high and low. Alarms are persistent: they turn off when the alarm-causing event is no longer detected; however, if the instrument’s alarm latch is enabled, an alarm will remain on until the user presses to turn it off.

Table 5.1 Alarm Events (listed) Alarm Level : High Gas Present S is shown.) Gas present, over-range Gas present, negative over- Gas present, high alarm STEL alarm alarm range alarm Nongas high alarms System alarm Critical low-battery alarm Sensor error alarm (both No sensor installed (occurs after ten minutes sensors)
Page 41: Warnings And Failures
Warnings and failures Warnings turn on and off repeatedly. The more urgent the warning, the shorter the time between on-off occurrences: a warning that repeats every two seconds is more urgent than a warning that repeats every thirty seconds. Warnings persist until the event is resolved. In some cases, an unresolved warning will become more urgent in frequency.
Page 42: Table 5.3 Warning And Failure Screens
*Signals (visual, audible, and vibration) vary based on instrument settings. ** Occurs for ten minutes before critical low-battery alarm. Note: For additional assistance in resolving any alert, warning, or alarm, see a supervisor or contact Industrial Scientific (see "Contact Information").
