If the MultiPro is equipped with a fully
enabled datalogger, the following screen will
be shown. The time figure in the upper right
corner indicates the sampling interval in
minutes and seconds. Instruments without a
fully enabled datalogger will show display
“not a datalog”
or
The sampling interval may be modified using
BioTrak Software.
In the MultiPro, a one-minute sampling
interval will result in the ability to store a
minimum of 41 hours of readings before the
oldest data is overwritten by new data.
The time will then be shown followed by the
date:

The instrument will display “Self Test” as it
performs a few operational checks. During
the self-test, the MultiPro tests for installed
sensors, performs a system memory check
and tests to see if a motorized pump is
attached to the instrument. If a pump is
detected, it will be briefly activated during the
self-test. For details on start up procedures
for pump-equipped MultiPro instruments see
section 2.1.1 below.
For instructions on changing the time and
date with the MODE button, see section 6
below.
The instrument temperature will then be
shown.

The warning alarm levels screen will then be
shown followed by the danger, STEL and
TWA alarm levels screens.

For more information concerning STEL
and TWA alarms, see sections 2.4.3 and
2.4.4.
After the alarm screens, the calibration due
screen will be shown with the number of days
until the next calibration. The instrument will
then proceed to the current gas readings
screen. If calibration is due, “Cal due now”
will be shown followed by “needs cal”. The
user will need to acknowledge the message
by pressing the MODE button. Once the
MODE button is pressed, the MultiPro will
continue to the current gas readings screen
and the appropriate calibration due icon will
blink every 5 seconds to remind the use that
the instrument is past due for calibration.
or
If the Bump Test Interval setting is enabled,
the bump interval screen will be shown. The
bump due status will be shown in days or
hours.
Note: The Bump Test Interval and bump
test reminder are used exclusively with
the MultiPro IQ Express Dock.
or
Following the calibration status screens, the
MultiPro will proceed to the current gas
readings screen.
2.1.1 Start up with pump
MultiPro instruments that are equipped with a
built-in motorized sample draw pump will
have a slightly longer start up sequence.
After the calibration status screens, the
