CHAPTER

Auto Detect Gas
While the gas is applied during calibration, the detector will wait for up to 300 seconds to allow
the gas to stabilize. If the gas has not stabilized by then, the detector will display a Gas
unstable message. If the gas stabilizes within 300 seconds, it will be automatically detected
and will not have to be selected from a menu. The name of the gas and a Span calibration in
progress message will be displayed. If a quad gas mixture was used, the detector will display
the names of all four gases.
Gas Alarm Setpoints
Gas alarms are activated when detected gas concentrations are above or below the user-
defined setpoints. The gas alarms are described as follows.
Alarm
Low
High
TWA
STEL
Multi-gas
Over Limit
(OL)
BW Ultra
