Page 18: Duty Cycling Measurement
FALCO 2 11.7 Instrument User Manual V1.0 Duty Cycling Measurement The FALCO 2 11.7 has been designed with prolonging the lifetime of the 11.7 eV lamp in mind. The unit will sample for 20 seconds every minute as indicated by the lamp icon in the top left corner. -
Page 19: Operating The Falco 2 11.7
Status Light Yellow Displayed during start-up only, when power is first applied. Green Indicates that FALCO 2 11.7 is operating correctly. Also displayed during the start-up routine. Amber Flashing amber indicates Alarm 1 has been triggered i.e. the measured level of VOC is above the alarm threshold. -
Page 20: Start-Up Routine
The FALCO 2 11.7 will then display the following screens, in this order: Logo Screen After the power is turned on, the FALCO 2 11.7 displays the 'Ion Science' logo for 3 seconds and the status light is green. Info screen 1 Info screen 1 then appears for 3 seconds and the status light goes amber. -
Page 21: Normal Operation
The screen then appears continuously and shows the PID reading and units. The Status Light colour depends on the status. A progress bar showing how far through the current cycle the FALCO 2 11.7 is through the cycle the lamp on is indicated by the lamp icon in the top left corner. -
