Overview
This chapter briefly describes the EAGLE 2 gas monitor. This chapter also
describes the EAGLE 2 Operator’s Manual (this document). Table 1 at the
end of this chapter lists the specifications for the EAGLE 2.
About the EAGLE 2
Using an advanced detection system consisting of up to six gas sensors, the
EAGLE 2 sample draw gas monitor is capable of detecting the presence of
combustible gas, oxygen (O
2
), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide
(H
2
S), and various other toxic gases simultaneously. The EAGLE 2’s rugged,
reliable, and easy-to-use design makes it ideally suited for a wide range of
applications, including sewage treatment plants, utility manholes, tunnels,
hazardous waste sites, power stations, petrochemical refineries, mines, paper
mills, drilling rigs, and fire fighting stations. The EAGLE 2 offers a full
range of features including:
• Simultaneous monitoring of one to six gases. The standard configuration
includes four sensors for combustible gas (%LEL, ppm, and %volume),
oxygen, carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S).
• Choice of three operating modes:
• Normal Mode for typical confined space or area monitoring. Normal
Mode is the standard factory setting.
• Bar Hole Mode for checking of bar holes when searching for
underground gas leaks
• Leak Check Mode for locating leaks in valves and piping
• Sample-drawing pump with up to 125 foot range
• Liquid crystal display (LCD) for complete and understandable
information at a glance
• Ultrabright alarm LEDs
• Distinctive audible alarm for dangerous gas conditions or unit
malfunction
• Microprocessor control for reliability, ease of use, and advanced
capabilities
