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 35).
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 35).
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.
