Alarm Indications
The GX-2009 will sound an alarm, the LEDs will flash, and the unit will
vibrate when one of the target gas concentrations rises above the Warning
(low alarm) setpoint, or in the case of oxygen falls below the Warning
setpoint, for that gas.
The GX-2009 will also sound an alarm, the LEDs will flash, and the unit will
vibrate when the Alarm (high alarm) setpoint is reached for any of the
channels and when the STEL and TWA alarm points are reached for CO
and H
2
S.
When a trouble condition occurs, such as a sensor failure or low battery
charge, the alarm indication will depend on the alarm type.
Table 4 below summarizes the types of alarms produced by the GX-2009.
