During normal operation the Data Display screen shows when the monitor is performing the following
two functions:
MEASURE indicates that the monitor is actively measuring gas. In the screen shown above the monitor is
currently detecting 100 ppm of N
2
O gas. The 2ndUNIT value (Blank, Peak PPM, Continuous TWA, or
8 Hr TWA) is user-selected (refer to 2ndUNIT function on page 13). The measurement cycle runs for
4 minutes.
PURGE is displayed when the monitor is resetting its infrared detector to a baseline of 0 ppm using the
fresh air in the monitor’s internal purge-air bag. The purge cycle runs for 10 seconds.
3.9.4 Function Screens
The Functionscreens are used to set up the monitor and display stored data.
From the Data Display screen, press boththe Keypad Left and Right buttons at the same time to
display the first Function Menu screen. Next, use the Keypad buttons to move the arrow (>) until it
points to the desired function, and then press the ENTER button to select that function.
Once a function has been selected, use the Keypad to scroll through the displayed data or to change a
parameter associated with that function. Press ENTER to save any newly entered parameters. Press the
ESC button to return to the previous screen without saving.
Note that if no buttons are pressed within 90 seconds after selecting a function, the unit returns to the
Data Display screen.

contaminated with N
2
O gas.
EMTYBAG
– Press ENTER to manually empty the purge-air bag. Use
this function to drain the bag if it becomes contaminated with gas.

(red) light to turn ON and the audible alarm to sound (if AUDALRM
function is set to ALARM or ALARM/FAULT).
AUDALRM
– The internal audible alarm is programmable to function as
follows:
•
