Information Disp – model information
Firmware Rev – firmware revisions
Serial Number – model serial number
Calibration Date – date of the last factory calibration
Set Alert/Alarm – Define hydrogen level that will trigger the alert and alarm signals.
Alert Level –the level of hydrogen that will cause the LED to turn amber
Alarm Level – the level of hydrogen that will cause the LED to turn red
Set H2 Range – Define hydrogen sensitivity range (standard factory setting: 0% to 5% hydrogen by
volume).
Low H2 Range – The lowest level of hydrogen (standard factory setting: 0% hydrogen by
volume) to correspond with the low range analog output setting.
High H2 Range – The highest level of hydrogen (standard factory setting: 5% hydrogen by
volume) to correspond with the high range analog output setting.
Configure IDAC – define analog output range (standard factory setting: 4mA to 20mA)
Low Range – low level analog output (standard factory setting: 4mA) to correspond with
lowest level of hydrogen range
High Range – high level analog output (standard factory setting: 20mA) to correspond with
highest level of hydrogen range
Error – analog output (standard factory setting: 3mA) of error status
