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 optional data logging or for the 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 Down Loader Kit (with PC
connection cable and software).
The optional remote buzzer or remote buzzer/strobe also connect to the
interface port, and are for use in applications in which 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.
Circuit Boards
The Eagle circuit boards analyze, record, control, store, and display the
information collected.
The analog PCB is mounted perpendicular to the base of the instrument case.
The sensor leads connect to the analog PCB.
The main PCB is mounted in the top half of the case. It includes the methane
elimination and CAL/SETUP switches.
CAUTION:
The circuit boards should be serviced only by authorized
repair personnel.
