  • Page 18: Leak Detector Operation

    Leak Detector Operation The monitor can be configured to operate as a Leak Detector by setting the AUDALRM function to LEAK DETECTOR. When configured as a Leak Detector, the monitor will produce a leak detector type of audible feedback. At zero ppm there will be a tic every 2 seconds with the tic rate increasing up to 20 tics/second when the ppm level reaches the ALRMLVL setting.
  • Page 19: Working With The Gas Alarm

    Working with the Gas Alarm Gas-Alarm Light If the detected gas level reaches the gas-alarm level of 5 ppm, the monitor will detect this alarm condition and turn ON the front panel ALARM light. The ALARM light will automatically turn OFF once the gas level drops below 5 ppm.
