Sensor Configuration

The Sensor Configuration tab adjusts settings for each individual sensor. A separate sensor tab is provided for each sensor. Figure 5. shows the available option settings for the H2S sensor.

Note

Depending upon the sensor, the options may vary

Sensor Disabled

Warning

Use extreme caution when disabling a sensor. The disabled sensor cannot detect and alarm against the applicable gas.

To disable a sensor, complete the following:

1. Click Retrieve from Device to populate the fields with the current detector settings.

2. Click the tab of the sensor to be disabled.

3. Click the checkbox for Sensor Disabled.

Note

When options are enabled/disabled, the checkbox displays with a red frame until the new settings are saved to the detector.

4. Click the Save to Device button located at the bottom of the window.

5. The LCD automatically updates. In the following example, the CO gas type and sensor readings no longer displays.

Calibration Gas (ppm)

Warning

The gas concentration value entered in Fleet Manager II must match the gas concentration value on the gas cylinder.

1. Select the applicable sensor tab.

2. Enter the gas concentration value in the Calibration Gas (ppm) field for H2S and CO.

3. Enter the gas concentration value in the Calibration Gas (%) field for O2 and LEL.

Note

The gas concentration value for the O2 sensor must be calibrated with a %value other than 20.9 or 20.8%, such as 18%.

Calibration Interval

Define how often a sensor must be calibrated in the Calibration Interval (days) field. A different calibration interval can be set for each sensor.

1. Enter the value (0-365 days) for each sensor.

2. Enter 0 to disable the calibration interval option. Entering 0 automatically deactivates the Force Calibration user option.

Note

BW recommends that the detector be calibrated at least once every 180 days (6 months).

The detector is shipped with the factory default set to 180 days.

Bump Interval

Define how often a bump test must be performed for each sensor in the Bump Interval (days) field. A different bump interval can be set for each sensor.

1. Enter the value (1-365 days) for each sensor.

2. Enter 0 to disable the bump interval option. Entering 0 automatically deactivates the Force Bump user option. The detector is shipped with the Force Interval option disabled.

Note

BW recommends to bump test the sensors before each day
