Description
Case
The Eagle has a plastic case with a full-sized handle. The high-
visibility case is shielded to reduce radio frequency and
electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI). The system is light-weight
and balanced, which makes the Eagle easy to carry and use for
extended periods. A foam rubber gasket between the top and bottom
case components is water- and dust-resistant. You can set the case into
2.5 in. of water without damage.
Control Panel
The control panel is at the top of the Eagle. The touch-pad buttons
reduce the risk of accidental activation. The dot matrix display
simultaneously shows the gas reading for all installed sensors. (For
the 5- and 6-gas versions, the Eagle displays the gas reading of four
channels. Use the AIR/▲ and SHIFT/▼ buttons to scroll to the non-
displayed channels.) The display also shows information for each of
the Eagle’s program modes.
Buttons
The control panel includes the following six buttons.
