PID Probe
Several of the gases that can be monitored with a PID are easily absorbed in the EAGLE
2’s standard sample hose and standard probe. One example of this is styrene. Because of
this, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends that you use the probe intended for PID use that
does not have a particle filter installed and that you install the probe directly to the inlet
fitting when monitoring for gas with the PID sensor. The figure below shows an exploded
drawing of the PID probe.

Start Up and Normal Operation
For instructions to startup and use an EAGLE 2 that includes a PID sensor, reference
“Start Up” on page 27, “Measuring Mode, Normal Operation” on page 33, and
“Measuring Mode, Alarms” on page 38. Follow these instructions keeping the following
special considerations in mind:
•
After the instrument’s warm up period is over and the gas readings are displayed on
the screen, if the PID sensor is still in its warm up state, the gas reading for the PID
channel will scroll through -200, -100, and 0 for a high range sensor and -2.00, -1.00,
and 0.00 for a low range sensor. Allow the sensor to continue warming up for 5
minutes. If it exits its warm up state, the alternating numbers will be replaced by a gas
