  • Page 20: Conversion Table Tab

    Conversion Table Tab The Conversion Table tab is used to view the pre-defined relative response gases for the catalytic combustible channel and to edit or add user-defined gases. The pre-defined gases can be found in the Pre-Defined Table tab while the user-defined gases can be found under the User-Defined Table tab.
  • Page 21 may contain any character in upper- or lower-case. • Factor This value is the response factor for the listed gas relative to methane. The factor for each pre-defined gas is factory defined. The factor for any user-defined gases must be obtained through testing as described in “Obtaining a Relative Response Factor”...

  • Page 25: Pid Sensor Tab

    PID Sensor Tab The PID Sensor tab is used to view the pre-defined relative response gases and to view or define the 1 user-defined relative response gas. Every gas has a low and high range which are displayed in the Low Range tab and High Range tab, respectively.
  • Page 26 • Full Scale This is the full scale value for the target gas. • Point The point value indicates to what decimal place the gas readings are shown. A value of 1/1 indicates a reading to the “ones” place while a value of 1/100 indicates a reading to the “hundredths”...
  • Page 27 There are limitations for the full scale and increment values that depend on the factor for both the high range and the low range. Table 2 and Table 3 below list these limitations. Table 1: High Range PID Full Scale Factor Increment (ppm)
  • Page 28 Table 2: Low Range PID Full Scale Factor Increment (ppm) 1.00-1.99 50.00 0.02 2.00-2.99 100.0 3.00-3.99 150.0 4.00-5.99 200.0 6.00-7.99 300.0 8.00-9.99 400.0 10.00 500.0 While the pre-defined gases may not be edited, the 1 user-defined gas may be edited by doing the following: 1.
  • Page 29 NOTE: Make sure you have downloaded the data from the EAGLE 2 to avoid erasing its data when updating the instrument using the Transmit New Data button. 2. If no user-defined PID gas has been previously defined for the connected instrument, the name and long name will both appear as PID for the High Range and Low Range tabs.
  • Page 30 4. Open the csv file using Notepad, Word, or WordPad. The example below shows a csv file opened in WordPad. The user defined PID gas is number 17. Figure 19: CSV File 5. The values in the csv file are all separated by commas. These values are in the same order as the columns in the Maintenance Data Loader Program.

    If the concentration tested results in an overscale reading, test a lower concentration. 3. Apply the gas sample to the EAGLE 2 and take note of the reading. If the gas sample is of 50 %LEL concentration and the EAGLE 2 display shows a reading of 25 %LEL, then the factor for that gas is 2.
