Figure 5. Disabled Sensor

The fields for the applicable sensor become inactive (greyed out) until the sensor is again enabled.

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

4. The detector LCD automatically updates. The gas type and sensor readings no longer display on the LCD for the applicable sensor.

Installing Fleet Manager

5. Enable the sensor as soon as possible. If the sensor is damaged, replace it immediately. Refer to Replacing a Sensor or Sensor Filter.

Calibration Gas Concentration

Caution

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

1. Refer to the following list of recommended gas mixtures:

  • CO: 100 ppm balance N2
  • H2S: 25 ppm balance N2
  • LEL: 50% LEL or 2.5% by vol. methane balance air
  • O2: 20.9% balanced with N2

2. Select/enter the gas concentration value in the Calibration Gas field of the applicable sensor.

Calibration Interval

Caution

BW recommends that the sensors be calibrated once every 180 days (6 months).

Define how often a sensor should be calibrated in the Calibration Interval field. A different calibration interval can be defined for each sensor.

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

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

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

Bump Interval

Define how often a bump check should be performed for each sensor in the Bump Interval field. A different bump interval can be defined for each sensor

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

2. Enter 0 to disable the Bump Interval option. Entering 0 automatically disables the Force Bump When Overdue option.

The detector is shipped with the factory default set to 0 days.

Note

BW recommends to bump test the sensors before each day
