Monitoring an Area
1. Start up the EAGLE 2 as described above in “Start Up” on page 22. It is
now in Measuring Mode.
2. Take the EAGLE 2 to the monitoring area.
Put the probe tip in the area to be monitored.
NOTE: If you notice that water has entered the flow system through the
probe, replace the probe’s hydrophobic filter and inspect the O-ring
for filter particles. See “Replacing the Hydrophobic Probe’s Particle
Filter and Hydrophobic Filter Disk” on page 75 for instructions to
replace the hydrophobic filter.
3. Wait 10 - 15 seconds and observe the display for gas readings. If a
reading is observed, allow the reading to stabilize to determine the gas
concentrations present.
NOTE: Response time increases with the length of the sample hose. Long
sample hoses will require more time to show a response at the
EAGLE 2. The maximum sample hose length recommended for the
EAGLE 2 is 125 feet. Consult RKI Instruments, Inc. for longer
sample hose lengths.
4. If a gas alarm occurs, take appropriate action. See “Responding to
Alarms” on page 38.
Using Optional Sample Hoses
The standard sample hose for the EAGLE 2 is 5 feet long. Optional hoses are
available up to 125 feet long. If you are considering using a longer hose, keep
in mind that a longer hose will increase the EAGLE 2’s response time and the
flowrate may decrease close to the low flow alarm point.
CAUTION: Sample hose lengths of more than 125 feet are not recommended
for the EAGLE 2 because of flow rate reduction and increased
response time. Consult RKI Instruments, Inc. for hose lengths
longer than 125 feet.
