The Main Display is a 1”x 5” backlit LCD, which has 2 lines by 24 characters. In normal operation “CH #
= XX ppm GAS” will be displayed. If any channel is in a 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”.

NOTE: The LCD has a backlight that will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity. The LCD
backlight will come on automatically as soon as any function key is pressed. This is a feature designed to
save on power.
