4.4 TESTING THE ALARMS

The alarm can be tested whenever the main (Reading) display is shown. Press the Right
key, and the audible and visible alarms are tested.

4.5 DATALOGGING

During datalogging, the instrument displays a disk icon to indicate that datalogging is
enabled. The default status is to have datalogging on, at 60-second intervals, which
allows up to one year of data storage.
The instrument stores the measured gas concentration at the end of every sample interval
(when datalogging is enabled). In addition, the following information is stored: user ID,
site ID, serial number, last calibration date, and alarm limits. All data are retained (even
after the unit is turned off) in non-volatile memory so that it can be down- loaded at a
later time to a PC. Stored data are organized into 'events', with a new event created each
time the instrument is turned on, or a configuration parameter is changed, or datalogging
is interrupted.
fter an event is recorded, the unit records a shorter form of the data. When transferred
A
to a PC running WatchGas Suite, these data are arranged with a sample number, time,
date, gas concentration
.

4.6 MAN DOWN

Settings are available for On/Off depending on the user's requirement.
The Man Down Alarm is a critical and potentially lifesaving safety feature of the NEO.
Its function is based on the premise that if the instrument is motionless when it is not
supposed to be, its user may be in distress. If that is the case, the NEO not only goes
into alarm locally on the instrument, but also remotely, over a wireless network, to notify
people in the vicinity, as well as remote safety officers at a command center, that a
person is down, so that help can be dispatched quickly.
Note: Remote notification requires wireless connection to a network.

4.7 WIRELESS

When NEO is equipped with wireless capability, it is set up through the wireless sub-
menu.

5. CONFIGURATION MODE

The Config Mode is used to modify the instrument configuration settings.

5.1 NAVIGATING CONFIG MODE

There are two types of menus in Config mode: 1) those that ask for selection from a list
and 2) those that ask for a numerical value to be entered.
