Alarm Lights
Two ultra-bright, red, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provide visual
alarms for gas concentrations and malfunctions. They are mounted on
the top rear of the case for greatest visibility.
Battery Charger Connector
The battery charger connector is mounted on the top right rear of the
case. The external battery charger connects to this connector to
recharge nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. The continuous operation
adapter also connects to the battery charger connector.
Interface Port
The interface port is for the optional data logging or remote buzzer.
The port is mounted on the top left rear of the case. When the Data
Logging option is installed, the Eagle records gas concentrations at
programmed intervals and stores data on gas detected. You can
download these measurements through the interface port to a PC-
compatible computer for use in data analysis programs. Data retrieval
requires the Eagle Data Downloader Kit (with PC connection cable
and software).
The optional remote buzzer also connects to the interface port. The
remote buzzer is for use in applications where a remote alarm
indication is required.
Buzzer
A solid-state electronic buzzer is mounted inside the top of the case.
The buzzer sounds for gas alarms, malfunction, low battery voltage,
and as an indicator during use of the Eagle’s many display and
adjustment options.
Sample-Drawing System
The sample-drawing system includes the pump, sensor block and
connections, internal filter and charcoal scrubber, and the external
hose, probe, and hydrophobic filter. This system provides continuous
flow of sampled air to the sensors while keeping out liquids and dust.
With proper setup, the system can draw a sample flow from up to 125
feet away from the Eagle. Consult RKI Instruments, Inc. for sample
flow distances longer than 125 feet.
Hose and Probe
A 5 foot polyurethane sample hose and a 10 inch hydrophobic probe
are included as standard. The hose has a male quick connect fitting on
one end and a female quick connect fitting on the other end. The
