DETECTOR MENUS
Main Menu
Once activated, the Main Menu is accessed by pressing the Power/Menu Button two separate times in quick succession (double-
tap). The detector will display in the following order:
1.
Life Remaining
– Number of months and days left before the 36 month life of the detector expires. Months remaining will
display until there are less than 30 days remaining. From that time, until the end of life, only days remaining will display.
2.
Date/Time
– Current date & time automatically sets every time the detector is communicated with via GCT IR Link or
MGC Simple Clip Dock.
3.
User ID/Message
– A unique programmed message, up to 46 alpha-numeric characters, can be assigned to individual
detectors (refer to the
Adjustable Options
section, page 7). If the User ID/Message does not fit on one screen, it will
scroll right-to-left twice. If no User ID/Message is set up, the detector will display the default User ID/Message, GAS CLIP
TECHNOLOGIES, then skip ahead to the Sub-Menu Prompts, “SHOW STATUS” & “SHOW OPTION”.
4.
Sub-Menu Prompts
- Two prompts, "SHOW STATUS" and "SHOW OPTION", will display one after another. Pressing the
Power/Menu Button briefly during either Sub-Menu prompt will display the detector's current information. "SHOW
STATUS" accesses the Status Menu and "SHOW OPTION" accesses the Option Menu. If the Power/Menu Button is not
pressed during "SHOW STATUS" or "SHOW OPTION", the detector will immediately return to normal operation.
Status Menu
The Status Menu is accessed by pressing the Power/Menu Button once during the “SHOW STATUS” prompt.
The detector will display in the following order:
1.
L . CAL
– the last calibration date
2.
CAL DUE
or
CAL IN XXXd .
– denotes if a calibration is due or how many days until it is due (will be
displayed only if a calibration interval has been set up)
3.
L . BUMP
– the last bump test date
4.
BUMP DUE
or
BUMP XXXd .
– denotes if a bump test is due or how many days until it is due (will
be displayed only if a bump test interval has been set up)
5.
TWA
– current Time Weighted Average readings.
6.
STEL
– current Short Term Exposure Limit readings.
7.
HIGH
– peak sensor readings.
8.
CLEAR ALL
prompt – press Power/Menu Button once during CLEAR ALL prompt to clear the TWA,
STEL and Peak sensor readings.
Calibration Information
- The date of the last calibration, along with the number of days remaining until the next
calibration is due, will be displayed. If calibration is due, the detector must be calibrated (refer to the
Calibration
section, page 12).
Bump Test Information
- The date of the last bump test, along with the number of days remaining until the bump
test is due, will be displayed. If a bump test is due, the detector must be bump tested (refer to the
Bump Testing
section, pages 9-11).
Peak Levels
- The detector will display the current TWA and STEL readings, followed by the peak concentrations
recorded for each sensor since the last “CLEAR ALL”.
Clear Peak Levels
- Pressing the Power/Menu Button during the “CLEAR ALL” prompt will cause the TWA, STEL and
peak concentrations to be cleared. Note: this does not remove the information from the internal memory logs of the
detector.
