0.001%) reading after exposure to hydrogen. If the instrument doesn’t
return to an indication of less than 0.001% after 5 minutes in a
hydrogen-free environment then invoke the Reset operation (See Section
2.9).

2.6.1 Hydrogen Concentration—LCD Display

The upper line of the Controller LCD indicates a numerical value

or range for the percent hydrogen concentration or peak hydrogen value.
The lower line is used to display the hydrogen meter, a logarithmic bar
graph ranging from 0.001% (10 ppm) to 100% hydrogen by volume. An
open box on the bar indicates the last peak value obtained and filled
boxes indicate current value. Figure 2-4 shows how to interpret the
hydrogen meter:

2.6.2 Hydrogen Concentration—Probe Tip

The Probe Tip LED Indicator can be used to show an increase or

decrease in hydrogen concentration.

Leak detection is accomplished by watching the Probe Tip LED

and moving the sensor around a potential hydrogen leak. During the leak
check:

1. The Probe Tip LED turns red and remains red when the most

recent peak hydrogen concentration is being detected.

2. The increase in hydrogen concentration will also be indicated

by the increasing number of yellow LEDs powering on in the
LED bar graph array.

3. When the Probe Tip LED turns orange, this indicates that there

is still hydrogen present, but the hydrogen concentration is
