If SHUT-DOWN alarms occur, the detector will generate an alarm, the LED will start to blink, and the vibration
alarm will activate in 5-second intervals.
The alarms will be continuous until a user presses the button. If the user presses the button, the detector's
alarms will stop but a warning sign will remain on the screen.
Event Log
ARA stores the last 30 alarm events. The log system stores events on a first in first out basis. The events stored
in the unit can be downloaded using IR Link. The information stored includes:
•
The detector serial number
•
Life remaining on the detector
•
Number of self-tests performed
•
Number of warnings occurred and its cumulative time
•
Date of event log
•
Time elapsed since the alarm occurred
•
Duration of the alarm
•
Alarm level(s) in ppm or %
•
Type of alarms
•
Bump test (Yes or no)
Bump Test Procedure
NOTE:
Ion Science recommend the below calibration gas concentrations when conducting bump tests and/or
calibrations.

Detection.
The unit will be displaying "EO5" if the self-test fails three
consecutive times.
NOTE:
If the self-test fails two consecutive times, the unit will
emerge a warning such as a HIGH alarm.
If the unit is displaying "EOL", the life remaining of the unit
will be less than 8 hours.
