RKI Instruments Eagle 2 Quick Reference Manual

Quick Reference Guide For Model Eagle 2
Turn on and adjust the Eagle 2 gas monitor in a known fresh air area.

1. Turning the Eagle 2 On

a. Connect the sample hose and probe to the Eagle 2's quick
connect inlet fitting.
b. Press and briefly hold down the POWER ENTER RESET
button. Release when you hear a beep.
c. The instrument goes through its warm-up sequence and
shows screens for battery voltage, active gases, lunch break
(if LUNCH BREAK is turned on), low alarm, high alarm, STEL
and TWA, calibration reminder (if CAL REMINDER is turned
on), date and time, user ID/station ID/serial number (with user
ID and station ID only appearing if USER/STATION ID is turned
on), and sensor failures. It then goes into measuring mode.

2. Sensor Failure

a. If the Eagle 2 experiences a sensor failure during start-up, a
screen indicating which sensor failed appears (for example,
FAIL SENSOR <H2S>) and the buzzer sounds a pulsing tone
twice per second.
b. To continue, press and release POWER ENTER RESET to
acknowledge the failure. The gas reading is replaced by XXX.
c. Replace the sensor as soon as possible.

3. Performing a Demand Zero

a. Find a fresh-air environment free of toxic or combustible gases
and of normal oxygen content (20.9%).
b. Press and hold the AIR ▲ YES button. The LCD will prompt
you to keep holding the AIR ▲ YES button and the buzzer will
pulse. Release when prompted to do so. The Eagle 2 will set
the fresh air values (0% LEL CH4, 20.9% O2, 0.0 ppm H2S,
and 0 ppm CO.

4. Performing a Flow Integrity Test

Verify there are no leaks in the hose and probe assembly,
the pump is operating, and the flow fault circuit is active.
a. With the Eagle 2 in normal operation and with hose and probe
attached, place finger over the end of the probe to block flow.
b. The Eagle 2 should indicate FAIL LOW FLOW LEVEL within
a few seconds. Press POWER ENTER RESET to restart the
pump.
c. If the Eagle 2 does not go into low flow alarm, inspect hose
and probe for leaks. If the leakage cannot be resolved, have
the Eagle 2 serviced.

5. Performing a Breath Test

Test the oxygen sensor, pump, and audible and visual
alarms for proper operation. Not a substitution for
calibration or a bump test.
