Instrument Function Menu • 146
• BH Measuring Time: The BH Measuring Time parameter only applies to
instruments being used in Bar Hole Mode. The BH Measuring Time is the
amount of time the unit samples the bar hole. It can be set to 30 (factory setting),
45, or 60 seconds. Use the up and down arrow buttons to make your selection.
• Battery Type: You can select whether your unit is set up for alkaline batteries or
rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. Since the discharge characteristics of alkaline
and Ni-MH batteries are different, the EAGLE 2 uses this setting to ensure that
the low battery warning is in effect long enough before a dead battery alarm to
allow the user to change the batteries without a dead battery alarm occurring.
This setting has no effect on battery charging. Select the drop down menu and
make your selection.
• Catalytic Display Units: The Catalytic Units and Catalytic Display Units
parameters determine what units are displayed for the catalytic channel when
the instrument is turned on. The factory setting for Catalytic Display Units is
%LEL. If Catalytic Units is set to anything but CHANGE OK, then Catalytic
Display Units is grayed out.
• Confirmation Alert: The confirmation alert confirms that the EAGLE 2 is still
operating by either flashing, beeping, or both every 15 minutes. The
confirmation alert can be set to LIGHT ONLY, BEEP ONLY, LIGHT & BEEP, or
OFF (factory setting).
• Backlight Delay: The Backlight Delay setting is how long the backlight stays on
after the last button push. It can be set anywhere from 0 to 255 seconds. The
factory setting is 30 seconds. Use the arrows to the right of the value to make
your selection or highlight the existing value and enter the desired value.
• Relative Response: If selected, the Relative Response Screen will appear in
Display Mode. The factory setting is off (not selected). See the EAGLE 2
Operator’s Manual for a description of the Relative Response Screen.
• Span Factor Display: If selected (factory setting), the EAGLE 2 will display the
minimum and maximum readings it could have adjusted to during a single
calibration span adjustment.
• Leak Buzzer: If selected (factory setting), the buzzer will operate in Leak Check
Mode.
• Adjust Contrast: The Adjust Contrast parameter allows you to adjust the display
contrast on the EAGLE 2. Select the setting so the characters on the display are
easy to see. It can be set from 1 to 15. The factory setting is 8. The higher the
setting, the darker the characters and LCD background.
• Methane Elimination: The Methane Elimination selection box allows you to turn
methane elimination on or off. In order for this parameter selection to be active,
the EAGLE 2 must have its catalytic LEL channel configured to hexane. If the
catalytic LEL channel is not configured to hexane, this parameter selection will
be grayed out. The factory setting is off (not selected).
To exit the Parameter tab, click the OK button in the lower right corner of the window.
