Page 5: Description
Description The SCal‐400 is a multi‐unit charging and calibration station for Sensit P400 gas detection instruments. It can bump test and/or calibrate up to five P400 units consecutively while simultaneously recharging the battery packs. The SCal‐400 also detects if a P400 requires calibration or a bump test when connected and automatically performs the required test. During connection any manually performed calibration and bump tests in the instrument memory log will automatically transfer from P400 to SCal‐400. Data management for the SCal‐400 requires either SCal‐D or SCal‐N software packages. All SCal‐400 stations come standard with SCal‐D software for desktop application. The location to place any instrument is referred to as a “slot”. For each slot there are charger and communication connections as well as LEDs to indicate the status. All testing functions require no user interaction. The display is a touchscreen. Instrument and station information can be accessed by using your finger or the included stylus. The SCal‐400 scans each slot, updates the LED status, and refreshes the display screen for each slot every three seconds. During communication, the SCal‐400 completes any log transfer before scanning another slot. LED Status Each slot has two LEDs indicating the status for the docked instrument. The following table describes the various LED states: SCal‐400 Individual Slot LED Status: Green LED Red LED Description 1 OFF OFF Nothing on slot 2 ON ... -
Page 6: Main Screen
Main Screen When the SCal‐400 is powered on by connecting it to a 100‐240 VAC supply, the display will show the Main Screen (refer to the sample shown below). This screen is divided in six cells. Five of the cells are for the five instrument slots and one cell is for showing SCal‐400 information. The background color of a slot indicates the status of the P400 in the corresponding slot (See Table 1). Tapping the slot that has a unit docked will activate the Detail Status Screen. Tapping the blue section will take you to the Main Screen only if no unit test is pending or in progress.

Page 8: Main Menu Screen
Main Menu Screen The Main Menu Screen provides an overview of the system (Serial #, Software Rev#, Date and Time, Valve Configuration). It also provides access to view calibration gas information, view logs, update settings through the Supervisor Menu, and a Test Menu. The Valve Setup Overview provides information about which gas inlets (valves) are configured for each calibration gas. Each lure inlet on the manifold is color coded with label around it. The Supervisor and Test Menu screens are password protected. Sample image of the Main Screen: Calibration Gas Information Screen This screen is divided in eight cells. Each cell represents a single gas inlet (valve). The background colors and gas inlets are color coded and matched for easy identification. The colors on the manifold label correspond to the colors shown on this screen. It also provides the information about type of regulator required for the gas bottle and the expiration date of the calibration gas. A blank/empty cell indicates that particular gas inlet (valve) is not configured and will not be used. “N/A” in a cell indicates that the valve is not installed. Tapping on a configured cell (i.e. ‐ not blank/empty) will take you the password screen. Upon providing the correct password, the calibration gas information will be displayed.

- Page 12 Valve configuration screen: The middle section of this screen is divided in eight cells. Each cell represents a single gas inlet (valve). The background colors and gas inlets are color coded and matched for easy identification. The colors on the manifold label correspond to the colors shown on this screen. It also provides the information about the type of regulator required for the gas bottle and the expiration date of the calibration gas. A blank/empty cell indicates that particular gas inlet is not configured and will not be used. “N/A” in a cell indicates that the valve is not installed. Tapping on any of the cells will take you to Valve Configuration Modification Screen. Valve Configuration Modification Screen: This screen provides you with an option to configure the calibration gas for the selected gas inlet (valve). You can also choose which regulator type to use. If a demand regulator is used, the internal pump will turn on while using that particular gas inlet (valve). If you want to disable the selected gas inlet (valve), then select “NONE” as the gas type. All of the calibration gases that are configured for the other inlets (valves) will be disabled in this screen. If you want to switch a gas to a different inlet (valve), you need to disable that particular calibration gas from the inlet (valve) before enabling it on the desired inlet (valve). Reset the valve configuration to the factory default as per following: 9 RESET VALVE CONFIG GREEN – AIR – DEMAND REGULATOR GRAY – QUAD – DEMAND REGULATOR 10 ERASE LOG This will erase the entire log saved in the local database.
