Chapter 3: Operation

Overview

This chapter explains how to use the EAGLE 2 to perform confined space
entry monitoring or general area monitoring in Normal Mode. There are three
operational modes in Normal Mode: Measuring Mode, Display Mode, and
Calibration Mode. While in Normal Mode, the unit is normally operating in
Measuring Mode. Display Mode and Calibration Mode are accessible from
Measuring Mode. Display Mode is described in this chapter. Calibration
Mode is described in “Chapter 4: Calibration Mode” on page 55.

Special versions of the EAGLE 2 can also operate in Leak Check Mode and
Bar Hole Mode. See “Appendix K: Using the EAGLE 2 in Bar Hole Mode”
and “Appendix L: Using the EAGLE 2 in Leak Check Mode” for operating
instructions for Bar Hole and Leak Check Mode, respectively.

Start Up

This section explains how to start up the EAGLE 2, get it ready for operation,
and turn it off.

NOTE: The screens illustrated in this section are for a standard 4-gas unit.

The screens displayed by your EAGLE 2 may be slightly different.

Turning On the EAGLE 2

To illustrate certain functions, the following description of the
EAGLE 2 start up sequence assumes that the following menu items in Setup
Mode are turned on: LUNCH BREAK, CAL REMINDER, and USER/
STATION ID. If any of these items are turned off, then the corresponding
screens will not appear.

The EAGLE 2 may be used with a sample hose or with the probe installed
directly to the inlet fitting. Determine which configuration works best for
your application.

1. Connect the sample hose or probe to the EAGLE 2’s quick connect inlet

fitting.

2. If using a sample hose, connect the probe to the sample hose’s quick

connect fitting.

3. Press and briefly hold down the POWER ENTER RESET button.

Release the button when you hear a beep.
