The Main Display is a 1¼”x 6” backlit LCD which has 4 lines by 40 characters. In normal operation “CH
# = XX ppm GAS” will be displayed. If any channel is in any gas alarm condition, the “CH#” will
change to “ALM”. If any gas channels are in Fault, they will display “CH # = IN FAULT”. If any
channels are in CAL MODE, they will display as “CH # = In Cal”. If any channels are not communicating
with sensors set up as serial input sensors, then they will display as “CH # = NO COMM”.
