M2 Transmitter Operator’s Manual 28
NOTE: If the M2 is in both an alarm 1 and alarm 2 condition, both the A1 and A2 LEDs
will be on, the gas reading will alternate with the ALMS 1&2 message, and
both alarm relays will energize.
Responding to an Alarm 2 Condition
1. Follow your established procedure for a high level combustible or toxic gas condition
or an increasing oxygen concentration condition.
2. After the gas reading falls below the alarm 2 setpoint, press the ENTER button to reset
the alarm circuit. Resetting the alarm circuit turns off the A2 light, resets the LCD, and
de-energizes the alarm 2 relay.
NOTE: If the ENTER button is pressed while the M2 is in an alarm 2 condition, the A2
LED will flash but all other indications will remain unchanged.
You cannot de-energize the alarm 2 relay until the gas reading falls below the
alarm 2 setpoint.
