RKI Instruments Eagle Series - Manual (Page 27)

22 • Alarms Diffusion Eagle Instruction Manual
If the sensor failed during start-up, the Eagle continues with the normal
start-up sequence after the fail screen displays. When the normal screen
displays, the Eagle replaces the gas reading for the failed sensor with xxxxx.
If the sensor fails during normal operation and you want to continue
monitoring for the remaining target gases, turn the Eagle off, then follow the
appropriate start-up sequence. When the normal screen displays, the Eagle
replaces the gas reading for the failed sensor with xxxxx.
Resetting Gas Alarms
You can set the Eagle’s gas alarms for latching or self-resetting alarms
(see “Updating the Alarm Latching Setting” on page 38).
Self-resetting alarms
Self-resetting alarms automatically shut off and reset when the gas reading
falls below (or rises above for oxygen) the alarm setting. You cannot silence
or reset self-resetting alarms.
Latching alarms
You can set latching alarms with or without Alarm Silence (see “Updating the
Alarm Silence Setting” on page 39).
With Alarm Silence on:
When the Eagle goes into gas alarm, press the RESET/SILENCE button to
silence the buzzer. The LEDs continue to flash, and the Eagle continues to
display the current alarm level.
The gas reading must fall below (or rise above for oxygen) the low alarm
(ALM1) setting before you can reset the alarm. Press the RESET/SILENCE
button to reset the alarm. The LEDs turn off and the Eagle returns to the
normal screen.
With Alarm Silence off:
The gas reading must fall below (or rise above for oxygen) the low alarm
(ALM1) setting before you can reset the alarm. Press the RESET/SILENCE
button to reset the alarm. The LEDs and buzzer turn off, and the Eagle returns
to the normal screen.
NOTE: With Alarm Silence off, you cannot silence the buzzer while the gas
reading is above (below for oxygen) the low alarm (ALM1) setting.
