• The currently configured gas
The catalytic sensor is always defined and configured even if it is not
setup as active in CONFIGURE CHANNELS. If any of the Sub
PCBs are not installed, then the corresponding sensor is undefined
and the next two fields are filled with dashes (---). In the example
above, the catalytic sensor is configured as methane (CH
4
), the sensor
supported by the SUB1 PCB is configured as isobutylene (IBL), the
sensor supported by the SUB2 PCB is configured as ammonia (NH
3
),
and there is no sub PCB installed in position SUB3.
• The sensor type
The sensor type can be one of the following: catalytic (CAT), photo
ionization detector (PID), ESM-01 toxic (ESM), infrared (IR), or
thermal conductivity (TC). Although any installed sensor type will be
listed in CONFIGURE GASES, the only sensor types whose gas can
be configured are catalytic, PID, and TC sensor types.
If you select an ESM-01 toxic or IR type of sensor to configure in
this menu item, a message will appear indicating that the gas
configuration for this sensor is automatically detected by the EAGLE
2 and that manual configuration is not possible. Both of these sensor
types have the gas configuration stored in memory onboard the
sensor.
See the appropriate optional sensor appendix for a complete description of
configuring the gas for that type of sensor.
ESM & IR SENSOR
ARE AUTOMATICALLY
DETECTED.
