Part One User Basics This section provides a brief but thorough overview of the EverWatch product by maximizing information with minimal reading. These few pages explain the purpose (The Instrument), and the operation (Useful user information, Operator panel, Alarms) of the product.
Operator Panel The EverWatch Face Velocity Monitor is easy to use. All the information you need to know about the face velocity is displayed on the monitor's front panel. In addition, all configuration and calibration programming is accessible through the keypad. Specific details about the EverWatch monitor front panel display and controls are described on the following pages.
HIGH ALARM Light/Key The red high alarm light turns on when the face velocity exceeds the high face velocity alarm set point (green normal light goes off). The HIGH ALARM key, when pressed, displays the high alarm set point on the digital display.
Before Calling TSI The manual should answer most questions and resolve most problems you may encounter. If you need assistance or further explanation, contact your local TSI representative or TSI. TSI is committed to providing high quality products backed by outstanding service.
PART TWO Technical Section The EverWatch monitor is ready to use after being properly installed and calibrated. The monitor is programmed with a default configuration that can be easily modified to fit you application. The “Technical” section is separated into five parts that cover all aspects of the units. Each section is written as independently as possible to minimize flipping back and forth through the manual for an answer.
Software Programming The EverWatch monitor is a quick and easy to program. There are two menus that contain all the items that can be changed. The configuration menu changes items that enhance the monitor’s performance (i.e., alarm values, display averaging, etc.). The calibration menu has the menu items needed to properly calibrate the EverWatch monitor.

Figure 2: Programming Flow Chart Programming Example The following example demonstrates the programming keystroke sequence. In this example the face velocity low alarm will be programmed for 60 ft/min. 1. Press the NORMAL key to access the main menu. CAL will be indicated on the display.
4. Press the NORMAL key to select LAL (low alarm menu item). The current value will be displayed. 5. Press the arrow keys ▲/▼ to change the item value to 60. 6. Press the NORMAL key to save the value and to exit to the menu. LAL will be displayed.

Calibration The EverWatch Face Velocity Monitor is a very versatile device which will work with a variety of fume hoods. Because fume hoods vary in design and performance, the EverWatch monitor must be calibrated on the fume hood it is installed. The calibration procedure is quite simple and can be accomplished in a matter of minutes with a little preparation and practice.

Note 2: If the sensor has not been taped, "tAPE OVEr SEn SOr" ("tape over sensor") will be indicated on the display. This message will flash for approximately two minutes. If the sensor has not been taped by the end of this time period, the calibration menu is exited and the EVERWATCH monitor returns to normal operation.
Maintenance and Repair Parts The EverWatch monitor is almost maintenance free. An occasional sensor cleaning and periodic calibration checks are all that are needed to ensure that the EverWatch monitor is operating at optimum performance. Calibration EverWatch monitor should be calibrated annually. Refer to “Calibration” section instructions. The velocity sensor should be cleaned prior to calibration.

Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action Display is blank. Fuse is blown. Measure voltage at pins 1 and 2 on monitor. The voltage should nominally be 24 to 30 VAC. If correct voltage is measured, internal monitor fuse is probably blown. Unplug 10-pin connector from monitor for 2 minutes.
