GasAlert Table 1. GasAlert Models Introduction WWarning To ensure your personal safety, read “Safety Information” before you use the detector. The GasAlert gas detector (“the detector”) warns of hazardous gas at levels above a factory set alarm setpoint. This product is a gas detector, not a measurement device. The detector is a personal safety device. It is your responsibility to respond properly to the alarms. Table 1 lists the GasAlert models. This manual includes examples from each model. Model Gas Monitored GasAlert (CO) carbon monoxide (CO) ppm GasAlert (H2S) hydrogen sulfide (H2S) ppm GasAlert (SO2) sulfur dioxide (SO2) ppm GasAlert (Cl2) chlorine (Cl2) ppm GasAlert (NH3) ammonia (NH3) ppm GasAlert (HCN) hydrogen cyanide (HCN) ppm GasAlert (NO2) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) ppm GasAlert (O2) oxygen (O2) % by volume 1 D1272 English Edited Sept 16, 2000 rev.1 GasAlert Users Manual Contacting BW Technologies Safety Information - Read First To contact BW Technologies, call: Use the detector only as specified in this manual, otherwise the protection provided by the detector may be impaired.

Before you use the detector, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. ⇒ If the detector is damaged or something is missing, contact BW Technologies immediately. (See page 2.) ⇒ Make sure the back is closed and fastened before you operate the detector. ⇒ Use only a sensor specifically designed for your GasAlert model. (See the section, "Replacement Parts and Accessories.") ⇒ Make sure the sensor screen is not blocked. ⇒ Periodically test the sensor’s response to gas by exposing the detector to a targeted gas concentration that exceeds the High Alarm setpoint. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated. ⇒ Calibrate the detector before first-time use, and then at least once every 90 days. ⇒ Do not turn off the detector during a work shift. Turning off the detector resets the TWA (time-weighted average) and maximum gas exposure values to 0. (See the section, “Alarms.”) ⇒ Use only the following batteries: Energizer CR2. (See the section, “Replacing the Battery or Sensor.”) ⇒ To reduce the risk of ignition of a flammable atmosphere, batteries must only be changed in an area known to be nonflammable. 3 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Caution To avoid possible damage to the detector: ⇒ Do not expose the detector to electrical shock and/or severe continuous mechanical shock. ⇒ Do not attempt to disassemble, adjust, or service the detector unless instructions for that procedure are contained in the manual and/or that part is listed as a replacement part. Use only BW Technologies replacement parts. ⇒ Do not immerse the detector in liquids. ⇒ The detector Warranty will be voided if customer personnel or third parties damage the detector during repair attempts. Non-BW Technologies repair/service attempts void this Warranty. ⇒ The Oxygen GasAlert Detector is tested by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. up to an atmosphere of 21% Oxygen. ⇒ Connect only to the Remote Vibrator Alarm (BW Part #: GA-VIB3) or the Earphone (BW Part #: D4-E2358) to the GasAlert Detector.

The display shows the High Alarm setpoint: To activate the detector, press A. The detector begins a self-test. Self-Test The detector performs the actions in steps 1-5. Manually check that all actions occur. 1. The display shows all elements. 2. The audible alarm beeps and visual alarm flashes.* 3. The detector briefly turns on the backlight. 4. The display shows the Low Alarm setpoint: The detector then begins a 30-second countdown. During this time, the detector tests the sensor and the battery. If the sensor test fails, the audible alarm emits a slow modulating tone and the visual alarm flashes slowly. *GasAlert with Internal Vibrator Alarm (Optional Model, Prefix "GAA-"): Activating the Detector - 1 vibration. 9 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual If the battery test fails, the audible alarm beeps and the visual alarm flashes once every 5 seconds. The display shows: Note If the Confidence Beep is on, the audible alarm beeps if the battery has sufficient power and stops if the battery power is low. (See the section, “Confidence Beep.”) Self-Test Pass* If the detector passes the self-test, the detector begins normal operation. The display shows the ambient gas reading: Then the detector starts recording the maximum gas exposure and calculating the TWA (time-weighted average). Self-Test Fail* If the detector fails the self-test, see the section, “If the Detector Does Not Work.” 10 D1272 English GasAlert Deactivating the Detector* Deactivating the Detector* Confidence Beep ⇒ The Confidence Beep tells you the battery has sufficient power to appropriately respond to a hazardous level of gas and emit an alarm. Instead of beeping when the battery’s power is low, the audible alarm beeps to advise you the battery has sufficient power. The Confidence Beep stops when the battery power is low. To turn off the detector, press A and hold for 5 seconds. The audible alarm beeps four times and the visual alarm flashes four times.* The display shows: You can only activate the Confidence Beep at startup. To turn on the Confidence Beep: After 3 additional seconds, the display turns off and the detector stops normal operation. Note If A is held down for less than 5 seconds, the detector will not shut down 1. If the detector is on, deactivate the detector. 2. Press A and B simultaneously. After the self-test completes, the detector continuously beeps once every 5 seconds.* ⇒ To turn off the Confidence Beep, turn off, and then restart the detector. *(GasAlert with Internal Vibrator Alarm: See pages 12, 13, 17). 11 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Alarms Table 6 describes detector alarms and shows how the display looks for each alarm.

The High Alarm overrides a TWA Alarm and a TWA Alarm overrides a Low Alarm. 13 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Table 7. Computed Gas Exposures Computed Gas Exposures WWarning To avoid possible personal injury, do not turn off the detector during a workshift. The detector automatically resets the TWA and maximum gas exposures at startup. If you restart the detector during a workshift, these values will not reflect the entire workshift. Gas Exposure TWA Maximum* Description • Time-weighted average based on an 8-hour work day. • Accumulated value. • Highest gas level encountered during the period the detector is turned on. *Maximum gas exposure describes both very high and very low levels of oxygen. 14 D1272 English GasAlert Alarms Viewing Gas Exposures Gas Alarm Setpoints ⇒ The detector’s gas alarm setpoints trigger the gas alarms, which are described in Table 8. Press B and C simultaneously. The display first shows the TWA gas exposure: Table 8. Gas Alarm Setpoints Alarm Condition Low Alarm Toxic Gases: Ambient gas level above Low Alarm setpoint. The display then shows the maximum gas exposure: O2: Ambient gas level may be set to above or below 20.9%. TWA Alarm TWA above Low Alarm setpoint (O2: Not applicable). High Alarm Ambient gas level above High Alarm Setpoint. O2: Ambient gas level may be set to above or below 20.9%. 15 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Resetting Gas Alarm Setpoints Note You can disable an alarm by setting the alarm setpoint to 0. Table 9 lists the factory-set alarm setpoints. Table 9. Factory Set Alarm Setpoints Gas Low High CO 35 ppm (parts per million) 200 ppm H2S 10 ppm 15 ppm SO2 2 ppm 5 ppm Cl2 0.5 ppm 1.0 ppm NH3 25 ppm 50 ppm HCN 4.7 ppm 10.0 ppm NO2 3.0 ppm 5.0 ppm O2 19.5% 23.5% Setting the Low Alarm setpoint to 0 turns off the Low and TWA Alarms. Stopping a Gas Alarm The Low and High Alarms stop when the ambient gas level returns to the acceptable range. The detector computes the TWA value up to the Low Alarm setpoint. At that time, the detector activates the TWA Alarm. You can only stop the TWA Alarm by deactivating the detector. To change the factory-set alarm setpoints, refer to the section “Calibration and Setting Alarm Setpoints.” 16 D1272 English GasAlert Alarms Sensor Alarm Automatic Shutdown Alarm* The detector tests for a missing or defective sensor during the activation self-test. See the section, "If the Detector Does Not Work." If the battery voltage is in immediate danger of dropping below the minimum operating voltage, the audible alarm beeps 8 times and the visual alarm flashes 8 times.* After 3 seconds, the display blanks out and the detector stops normal operation. The display shows M LOW periodically until the battery power is depleted. Low Battery Alarm The detector tests the battery during the activation selftest and continuously thereafter. If the battery voltage is low, the detector activates the Low Battery Alarm. The Low Battery Alarm continues until you replace the battery or the battery power is almost depleted. If the battery voltage drops too low, the detector executes an Automatic Shutdown. Note If the Confidence Beep is on, the audible alarm does not beep during a Low Battery alarm. (See the section, "Confidence Beep.") *(GasAlert with Internal Vibrator Alarm: Automatic Shutdown Alarm - 1 long vibration at start of Alarm) Replace the battery. (See the section, "Replacing the Battery or Sensor.") Note Typically, the Low Battery Alarm continues for 30 minutes before Automatic Shutdown. 17 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Calibration and Setting Alarm Setpoints • Calibrate a new sensor before use. Allow the sensor to stabilize before starting calibration (used: 60 seconds; new: 5 minutes). • Calibrate the detector once every 1 to 3 months, depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. • Calibrate the detector if the ambient gas display varies at startup. • It is best to calibrate the sensor before changing alarm setpoints. • Calibrate only in a clean atmosphere, which is free of background gas. • To disable an alarm, set its alarm setpoint to 0. • If you require a certified calibration, contact BW Technologies using one of the numbers on page 2. Guidelines When calibrating the detector, adhere to the following guidelines. • • Recommended gas mixture: CO: 50 to 500 ppm balance N2 H2S: 10 to 100 ppm balance N2 SO2: 10 to 50 ppm balance N2 Cl2: 5 to 10 ppm balance N2 NH3: 50 to 200 ppm balance N2 HCN: 10 to 20 ppm balance N2 NO2: 10 to 20 ppm balance air O2: Clean Air Calibration accuracy is never better than the calibration gas accuracy. BW Technologies recommends a premium-grade calibration gas. Gases with NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) traceable accuracy will improve the validity of the calibration. Do not use a gas cylinder beyond its expiration date. 18 D1272 English GasAlert Calibration and Setting Alarm Setpoints Test Cap The Test Cap and hose, which are shipped with the detector, simplify sensor testing and calibration. Table 10 and Figure 3 show how to use the Test Cap and hose when applying gas to the sensor. 1 2 Table 10. Test Cap Item Description 3 A Test Cap B Hose C Regulator and Gas Cylinder Figure 3. Test Cap 19 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Calibration Procedure Auto Zero (O2 Calibrate in Clean Air) To calibrate the detector and set its alarm setpoints, perform the following 8-step procedure. The display flashes “auto zero” while the detector automatically zeroes the sensor. Start Calibration To quit at any point, press A. The detector retains any saved values, and the audible alarm beeps four times before the detector returns to normal operation. 1. Press B and D simultaneously. The audible alarm then beeps twice. The display shows: Note Do not apply the calibration gas until the display shows a flashing gas cylinder; otherwise, the auto zero step will fail. The audible alarm beeps once. Factory Password-Protected (Optional Model, suffix “-5”) If the detector is password–protected, after a successful Auto Zero, the detector will ask for the password before proceeding to Auto Span and Alarm Setpoints. If the password is not entered within 8 seconds the detector will automatically return to normal operation. If the sensor fails the auto zero step, the display shows no and the detector skips the sensor span steps. Press A to exit. Then restart calibration in an atmosphere that is clear of the targeted gas. If the step fails a second time, restart the detector to test the sensors. 20 D1272 English GasAlert Calibration and Setting Alarm Setpoints Set Span The display shows the current calibration gas setting: The up and down arrows flash, prompting you to input a new calibration gas concentration or use the displayed value for the span (sensitivity adjustment). 2. To change the calibration gas setting, press C or D until the display matches the concentration of the calibration gas. 3. Press B to save the displayed value. Note If you do not press any pushbuttons within 10 seconds of viewing this display, the detector automatically saves the displayed concentration of the calibration gas. If you change the calibration gas concentration but pause for 10 seconds before pressing B, the detector rejects the new value. The display shows no and the audible alarm beeps six times. The display then shows the original calibration gas concentration, which will be used in the next step. 21 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Span The display shows a flashing gas cylinder, prompting you to apply a calibration gas to the sensor or skip the span. 4. Note The detector will not span a sensor if: • You do not apply gas to the sensor. • The sensor fails to detect at least one-half of the expected gas concentration in the first 30 seconds. • The gas concentration drops below one-half of the expected gas level during the 2minute span. Apply gas to the sensor at a flow rate of 250 to 500 ml/min. Or, press B now to skip the span. If the detector fails to span a sensor, the display shows no and the audible alarm beeps six times (unless you pressed B to skip the span). When the detector senses approximately one-half of the expected gas concentration (30 seconds), the audible alarm beeps once. The detector then begins spanning the sensor (2 minutes; 30 seconds O2). If you apply gas to a sensor and the detector fails to span the sensor, repeat the calibration process using a new gas cylinder. If the sensor fails the span a second time, replace the sensor. (See the section, “Replacing the Battery or Sensor.”) The audible alarm beeps three times at the end of the span. 22 D1272 English GasAlert Calibration and Setting Alarm Setpoints Setting the Low Alarm Setpoint The display shows the Low Alarm setpoint: The up and down arrows flash, prompting you to input a new Low Alarm setpoint. 5. If you want to change the Low Alarm setpoint, press C or D until the display shows the new value. 6. Press B to save the displayed value. Note If you do not press any pushbuttons within 10 seconds, the detector automatically retains the Low Alarm setpoints. If you change a displayed value but pause for 10 seconds before pressing B, the detector rejects the new value. The display shows no and the audible alarm beeps six times. The display then shows the unchanged Low Alarm setpoint. 23 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Setting the High Alarm Setpoint The display shows the High Alarm setpoint: The up and down arrows flash, prompting you to input a new High Alarm setpoint. 7. If you want to change the High Alarm setpoint, press C or D until the display shows the new value. 8. Press B to save the displayed value. Note If you do not press any pushbuttons within 10 seconds, the detector automatically retains the High Alarm setpoint. If you change the High Alarm setpoint but pause for 10 seconds before pressing B, the detector rejects the new value. The display shows no and the audible alarm beeps six times. The display then shows the unchanged High Alarm setpoint. At the end of step 8, the audible alarm beeps four times and the detector returns to normal operation. Verification (optional) Test the detector using a gas cylinder other than the one used in the calibration steps. The gas concentration should not exceed the sensor's detection range. Confirm that the display shows the expected concentration. 24 D1272 English GasAlert Maintenance Maintenance Cleaning a Sensor Screen To keep the detector in good operating condition, perform the following basic maintenance as required: Remove the screen. Clean using a soft, clean brush and clean, warm water. Let the screen dry before replacing it. • Cleaning a Sensor Calibrate, test, and inspect the detector at regular intervals. • Keep an Operations Log of all maintenance, calibrations, and alarm events. • Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents, soaps, or polishes. • Do not immerse the detector in liquids. Remove the sensor. Clean using a soft, clean brush and no water. Clearing a Sensor The sensor has a high degree of resistance to common vapors and gases. The sensor will most likely clear itself if you remove the detector to a clean environment and wait 10 to 30 minutes. Do not expose a sensor to the fumes of inorganic solvents (such as, paint fumes) or organic solvents. 25 D1272 English GasAlert Users Manual Replacing the Battery or Sensor WWarning To avoid possible personal injury: Replace the battery as soon as the detector emits a Low Battery Alarm. Use only the following batteries: Energizer CR2. Figure 4 and Table 11 illustrate how to replace the battery or sensor. If the detector is on, shut down the detector before replacing the battery or sensor. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen and tighten any screws. Do not use excessive force when removing or inserting the sensor, or the sensor may be damaged. Gently rocking the sensor back and forth may help free a tightly held sensor. Use only the sensor specifically designed for your GasAlert model. Othewise, the detector will not monitor the target gas. (See the section, "Replacement Parts and Accessories.") The battery lasts 3 years, assuming 8 hours of average use per day. To preserve battery life, turn the detector off when you are not using it. The sensor provides consistent and accurate ambient gas readings. The sensor lasts 2 years under normal operation. The section, “If the Detector Does Not Work” describes problems caused by a sensor in need of calibration or replacement. 26 D1272 English GasAlert Replacing the Battery or Sensor Table 11.
