087-0048 REV B SCOTT SAFETY
Operating the Monitor This section describes the operational modes of the monitor.
Warning: If the monitor fails to respond properly upon start up, or if calibration is out
of date, do not use the device until it has been properly calibrated. Failure to do so
could result in death or injury. Additionally, when the monitor’s LCD is blank and it
does not respond it means the two year life has expired.
The monitor uses a special high viewing angle LCD designed to enhance the screen
visibility. In the absence of gas, it displays life remaining in months. In those cases
where gas is present, the display automatically shifts to a display that shows the gas
concentration value and a battery icon.
To activate the monitor, press and hold down the front button for about five (5)
seconds. On activation, the monitor vibrates, flashes and sounds an audible alarm. A
successful activation displays the life remaining in months on the LCD as 24 months.
See “Powering Up the Monitor” on page 45.
The displayed value (for normal mode) appearing on the monitor’s LCD, may be
changed using the Display parameter of the IR Connect Software.
Figure 32 shows the LCD items.

death.
Warning: You must familiarize yourself with the icons in both the non-alarm and
alarm states.
Warning: If the display is missing icons or cannot be clearly read, please contact us.
