    To ensure personal safety, read Warning and the Cautions before using the detector. The SST1 Gas Detectors are personal life safety devices designed to detect the presence of certain toxic gases. The accuracy of ambient gas reading(s) is dependent upon factors such as accuracy of the calibration gas standard used for calibration and frequency of calibration.
  • Page 5: Introduction

    2 to 3 years — no calibration, no battery replacement, no charging, and no stress. The device is easy to use and reduces the need for extensive training. The SST1, coupled with the SST Dock, allows for the fastest bump testing on the market and makes fleet management extremely simple.
  • Page 6: Sensor Poisons And Contaminants

    1.3 Sensor Poisons and Contaminants Several cleaners, solvents, and lubricants can contaminate and cause permanent damage to the SST1 sensors. Before using cleaners, solvents, and lubricants in close proximity to the SST1 detector sensors, read the following cautions and refer to the lists below.

    2.4 Pushbutton To activate the SST1 detector, press and hold the pushbutton (the big yellow button on the front of the device) and a 5 second countdown will start. Keep pressing the pushbutton until the countdown ends, after which the detector will then turn on.
  • Page 11: Activating The Detector

    Depending on the SST1 model, the detector will proceed to indicate its remaining operational life. When the start-up has been completed, the detector will remain turned on. Turning the detector off is not possible by means of pressing the pushbutton on the SST1 device. To turn off the detector, refer to the Hibernation section.
  • Page 12: Days Or Less Remaining

    3.4 45 Days or Less Remaining When the operating life countdown reaches 45 days or less before expiry, the SST1’s display format changes to show the remaining operating life in days. This countdown continues until it reaches 24 hours or less before expiry.
  • Page 13: Alarms Indicators And Warnings

    4. Alarms Indicators and Warnings A gas alarm is triggered when the sensor detects a gas concentration surpassing the predefined alarm setpoints. The alarm remains active until the gas concentration returns to a safe level. NOTE: battery life decreases rapidly during alarm conditions due to heightened power consumption. 4.1 Low Alarm When the gas concentration exceeds the Low alarm setpoint it will display LOW and produce the alarm as per below (1x per second):...
  • Page 14: Factory Alarm Setpoints

    4.6 Compliance and Non-Compliance The SST1 will indicate device compliance by showing the happy smiley icon ( ) , and flash the green compliance LED every 5 min, if enabled. The detector will show as compliant when below items are true: •...
  • Page 15: Compliance Interval Exceeded

    It is no longer displayed when more than 24 hours have passed since the last alarm, when the SST1 detector is connected to a SST Kiosk or Device link, or when a successful bump test/calibration is performed via an SST Dock, or manually.
  • Page 16: Zero The Sensor

    WatchGas recommends zeroing the O2 sensor once every 24 hours, or when the Automatic Zero Reminder is displayed for O2 models. For all other models, WatchGas recommends periodic zeroing of the sensor of at least once every 180 days (6 months).
  • Page 17: User Menu

    5. User Menu The SST1 features a user menu that can be entered by pressing the pushbutton once. Upon pressing the pushbutton the next menu screen will be displayed in the following order: 5.1 Peak Reading If the detector has measured a gas concentration above the alarm setpoint within the last 24 hours, the peak reading will be displayed.
  • Page 18: Clear Peak

    When the pushbutton is pressed again, the SST1 detector will return to measurement mode. NOTE: the SST1 detector will automatically return to measurement mode if no pushbutton is pressed, or when a gas alarm occurs.
  • Page 19: Communicating With The Sst1

    To activate NFC, press and hold the pushbutton for 3 seconds until the SST1 detector beeps once. The NFC icon is now displayed in the upper right corner of the device. The SST1 detector is now able to communicate with the WatchGas Device Link, SST Dock, SST Kiosk, and RTR Software.
  • Page 20: Device Link

    SST1 detectors to a user and site. When an unassigned SST1 connects to the Device Link, the user is prompted to input the User ID and Site information. Once entered, these settings can be transmitted to the SST1 using NFC, effectively assigning the User ID and Site to the detector in question.
  • Page 21: Device Link Event Logs

    Compliance checks, including instances where a non-compliant detector is confirmed by the Device Link User. 100 Event Logs can be stored in the SST1 detector. When full, the oldest Event Log entry will be overwritten with the newest one. NOTE: Event logs cannot be cleared from the Device Link.
  • Page 22: Device Link Single Device Setup

    7.4 Device Link Single Device Setup The Single Device Setup in the WatchGas Device Link mobile application can be used to configure the SST1 detector. The Single Device Setup can be accessed through the Device Link menu, with the password “service”.

  • Page 27 Last calibration NOTE: When changing components, component serial numbers must be changed using Device Link Maintenance, refer to the SST1 Maintenance section. WARNING: Only substitute with original WatchGas parts. Substitution of parts always requires a full calibration prior to use.
  • Page 28: Bump Test And Calibration

    Last-O-More. 8.1 Manual Bump Test When no SST Dock is available, a manual bump test can be performed. To perform a Bump Test on the SST1 detector: 1. Transition to a standard ambient atmosphere with 20.9% oxygen concentration, free of any hazardous gases.
  • Page 29: Manual Calibration

    If the Bump Test fails repeatedly, perform a Calibration. The SST1 detector will automatically lock after 10 consecutive failed Bump Tests. NOTE: The SST1 detector shown on the Device Link is only a simulated example. The real Bump Test result must be viewed on the SST1 detector itself.
  • Page 30 The user will be prompted to check the visual, audible, and vibration alarms, as well as to visually inspect the SST1 detector for any damage. The results of these checks must be entered into the Device Link. Additionally, the name of the person carrying out the calibration must be recorded.
  • Page 31: Firmware Upgrade

    5. Connect the SST1 detector to the Device Link, ensuring that the connection is not lost. 6. Wait for the NFC file transfer to finalize. This may take several minutes. The SST1 will then reboot upon receiving the firmware file.
  • Page 32: Troubleshooting

    Table 5. Troubleshooting NOTE: This troubleshooting guide assumes that the SST1 detector runs on the latest firmware version. Refer to the Firmware Upgrade section on how to upgrade the SST1 firmware version.
  • Page 33: Failure Codes

    Additionally, certain faults may activate the audible alarm to further draw attention to the situation. Repeated faults will result in the SST1 being locked. A locked SST1 is rendered inoperable and must be handled by authorized personnel, or taken to a WatchGas Service Center for servicing.
  • Page 34: Unlocking The Sst1 Detector

    SST1 Maintenance section. An SST1 detector that has been locked because its activation time has expired can be unlocked by pressing the “Unlock” button. Service personnel must assess the battery condition by star rating and total minutes in alarm. If the battery’s lifespan cannot be guaranteed for the additional detector lifetime, the battery must be replaced.
  • Page 35: Sst1 Spare Parts And Accessories Lists

    NOTE: SST1 detector maintenance may only be performed by trained/authorized individuals and/or service center personnel. NOTE: SST1 parts may only be replaced by original WatchGas parts, as per the spare parts lists table. Substitution of parts may impair detector function and intrinsic safety.
  • Page 36: Detector Accessories - External Filter

    13.1 Detector Accessories – External Filter NOTE: Only original WatchGas parts may be used as SST1 detector accessories. Substitution of parts may impair detector function and intrinsic safety. WatchGas strongly recommends utilizing an external filter in applications where dust, dirt, or other debris may be present.
