Introduction 1.Introduction 1-1 Supplied Components List Formaldehyde Multimode Monitor FMM-MD kit has been packaged carefully and includes all the components necessary for full operation. Upon receipt, check the kit contents carefully to find you received the following items in good condition.
Introduction 1-3 Cautions CAUTIONS ● Do not install, use, or store the unit at a place where: Ambient temperature is not in the range of -10 to 40℃. (14-104°F) Ambient humidity exceeds 90% R.H. Condensation occurs due to rapid temperature change. Corrosive and/or explosive gases exists.
General Description 2.General Description FMM-MD consists of portable base unit and detachable formaldehyde sensor assy. The sensor assy can be used as stand-alone passive sampler and also can be used in combination with base unit. The sensor assy can be used repeatedly up to the usage limit.

Memory overflow occurs when the internal memory is full. ・ Baseline value and measurement results are stored in the internal memory. ・ Detection data is stored in the internal memory of FMM-MD up to 4500 data. ・ Once the internal memory is full, detection cannot be done.
Error 6-4 Reading Error Error occurs when measurement is not performed correctly. ・ Try measurement again. ・ Error occurs when Samplers Measurement is performed to the same Sampling No. assigned to different baseline value sensor assy. Reading Error Try measurement Back to entering Sampling No.
Maintenance and Servicing 8.Maintenance and Servicing 8-1 Replacement of button battery The unit uses a button battery (model: CR2032) for memory back-up. ⇒When to replace: ● Two years after the purchase or three years after the previous replacement. ● When data cannot be saved or the data is deleted. *Note the internal memory data will be deleted.
Maintenance and Servicing 8-2 Troubleshooting If you find: Check: FMM-MD does not operate. Check the battery status or connect unit to AC adaptor. Monitoring mark is flashing, “AA” batteries are depleted. Replace them. other display disappear. Unit will not operate after Check the battery polarity.
