appear during operation. Likewise, the alarm-screen example shows how the display generally appears 

when a gas event has caused an instrument alarm; sound, light, and vibration signals would also occur 
based on the alarm type and some settings.

Gas-reading display behavior 

The safety team sets how the instrument

when 

not

 in alarm

will display gas readings. As noted in the 

setting, 

Gas reading display

, the options are:    

 

Display readings only for sensor 1. 

 

Display readings only for sensor 2.  

 

Alternately display readings for one sensor, then the other using a 3-second interval.    

When a gas sensor causes an instrument alarm, the instrument will automatically display gas readings 
using the alternating pattern. When the alarm-causing condition is no longer detected, the readings display 
will revert to its set behavior. 

 

Preparing the Tango TX2 for First Use 

There are three steps to prepare the Tango TX2 for first use.  
1.

 

Review instrument settings and adjust as needed. See the chapter

“Features and Settings.”

 

2.

 

Calibrate the instrument. See the chapter

“Maintenance”.

   

3.

 

Perform a bump test. See the chapter

“Maintenance”.
