Managing the Gas-Tec
VII Managing the Gas-Tec
Earlier sections provided instructions for day-to-day use of the Gas-Tec . In this section we describe the
use of functions intended to assist with the long-term management of the detector, setting alerts for servic-
ing, and fine-tuning other parameters of this flexible instrument .
7.1 Admin menu
Engineers may wish to set up the Gas-Tec so that they report when a service is due, and possibly cease
to work until servicing is undertaken . Bear in mind that this function depends on the date and time set on
the service menu (see Section V .2) . The Gas-Tec may report that the service has expired due to a failure
of the backup battery for the internal clock . These functions should be used with care, and access to them
protected by changing the default password .
To reach the administration functions of the Gas-Tec switch the unit on and the press the 'ADMIN' soft key
(the third button down at the right hand side of the LCD display) .
After entering the Admin menu, the Gas-Tec will not detect gas . To use the Gas-Tec, turn it off using the
on/off button and then press again to turn it on .
On receipt of a new Gas-Tec the administrator should set a new PIN . (see Section VII .2 below) .
The menu can also be used to calibrate the Gas-Tec . This function is described in the Service Manual .
IMPORTANT NOTE: Accepting the option RESET DEFAULTS
on this menu may remove calibration and other settings.
7.2 Set up the detector
The screenshots show how to navigate through the menus . The buttons at the right are linked to the labels
next to them on the screen . Access a labelled option by pressing the soft key to the right of it .
Change the numbers on the screen by using the buttons next to the up and down arrows on the right . To
move between the numbers, use the 'NEXT' and 'BACK' soft keys .
To do this, enter the default PIN of 1234 and choose the menu option 'Enter a new Admin PIN' . Ensure a
record of the new PIN is kept as this will be needed during set-up and servicing .
After entering the correct PIN, a list of options will be displayed
