UNI MP100 User’s Guide 1. General Information The UNI (MP100) is a single sensor, portable, personal toxic gas monitor. It displays gas concentration continuously on a big segment LCD. It also monitors the STEL, TWA, Peak and Minimum (for O only) values, and these can be displayed on demand.
UNI MP100 User’s Guide 3. Display 1. Gas name, includes: CO, H S, or O 2. Question mark (to confirm action) 3. Unit status indicator “OK” and to confirm entry 4. Gas unit, includes: x10 , ppm, %, mg/m mol/mol µ...
UNI MP100 User’s Guide 4. Operation 4.1 Turning the Unit On and Off Press and hold the Right Key for 3 seconds, until the red light, buzzer, and vibrator all trigger, followed by the green light, and the LCD displays “On”. To turn off, press and hold the Right Key from normal display mode for a 5-second count-down, until the unit displays “Off”.
UNI MP100 User’s Guide A STEL alarm cannot be cleared except by turning the unit off and back on, but will clear automatically after 15 minutes in clean air. 4.3.3 TWA This displays the Time-Weighted Average (TWA) calculation, which is the average concentration times the fraction of 8 hours that the instrument has been on.
UNI MP100 User’s Guide 4.4 Configuration Mode In Config mode, the user can change parameters and calibrate the unit. In general, use the Left Key to increase the number or confirm an operation, and use the Right Key to move the cursor or go to the next menu item.
UNI MP100 User’s Guide 4.5.2 Span Calibration Span calibration determines the sensitivity of the sensor to the gas. Recommended calibration gases and concentrations are listed in Section 7.7 at the end of this manual and in TA Note 4 (available at www.mpowerinc.com). Special calibration procedures for highly reactive gases are described in TA Note 6.
UNI MP100 User’s Guide 4.5.3 Bump Test A Bump Test is a quick check to ensure that the sensor and alarms are working properly. It is done with the same gas as is used for span calibration. Enter the menu, start the gas flow, then press the Left Key to start bump count-down (typically 45 seconds, but varies with sensor).
UNI MP100 User’s Guide 4.6.2 Span Value The span gas concentration can be changed from the Cal SET menu using the same process as for setting alarm limits. NOTE: The MP100 will show an error message “Err” if: • The Span setting is less than 5% of the measuring range or greater than the measuring range.
UNI MP100 User’s Guide if enabled, or between if disabled. Use the Right Key to change the status, and the Left Key to confirm and exit. When the unit is re-started and user is prompted with to zero, it must be initiated within 30 s or else the zeroing is skipped.
UNI MP100 User’s Guide 5. Computer Interface Computer interface requires a Single Docking Box or CaliCase Docking Station connected to a PC fitted with mPower Suite software. mPower Suite can be used to 1) download logged alarm and calibration events, 2) upload configuration parameters to the instrument and 3) upgrade the instrument firmware.
UNI MP100 User’s Guide 10. Alarm Events are shown in the bottom half panel and Bump/Calibrations times can be viewed by clicking on the corresponding tab. 11. To export data to a csv file readable by Excel or other spreadsheet software, move the cursor over the right data panel, right-click the mouse, and then select “Export event log”.

UNI MP100 User’s Guide 9. “Save” stores the current Docking Box configuration file to the PC. 10. “Load” calls up a stored Docking Box configuration file from the PC to mPower Suite. 11. To update the Docking Box firmware, select “Firmware Upgrade”. The firmware must first be downloaded to the PC from the mPower website www.mPowerinc.com.
