    Description

    Case

    The Eagle has a plastic case with a fu ll-sized hand le. The h igh-

    visibility case is shielded to reduce radio frequency and

    electrom agnetic interference (RFI/ EMI). The system is light-w eight

    and balanced, wh ich m akes the Eagle easy to carry an d u se forextended periods. A foam ru bber gasket between the top and bottom

    case components is w ater- and dust-resistant. You can set the case into

    2.5 in. of w ater withou t damage.

    Control Panel

    The control panel is at the top of the Eagle. The touch-pad bu ttons

    redu ce the risk of accidental activation. The dot matrix display

    simultaneously show s the gas read ing for all installed sensors. (For

    the 5- and 6-gas versions, the Eagle d isplays the gas read ing of four

    channels. Use the AIR/ and SHIFT/buttons to scroll to the non-d isplayed channels.) The d isplay also show s inform ation for each of

    the Eagles program m odes.

    Alarm Lights

    Two u ltra-bright, red , light-emitting d iodes (LEDs) provide visual

    alarms for gas concentrations and malfunctions. They are mounted on

    the top rear of the case for greatest visibility.

    Battery Charger Connector

    The battery charger connector is mounted on the top right rear of the

    case. The external battery charger connects to this connector torecharge nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. The continu ous operation

    adap ter also connects to the battery charger connector.

    Interface Port

    The interface port is for the optional data logging or remote buzzer.

    The port is mou nted on the top left rear of the case. When the Data

    Logging op tion is installed , the Eagle records gas concentrations at

    program med intervals and stores data on gas detected. You can

    down load these measurem ents through the interface port to a PC-

    compatible compu ter for use in data analysis program s. Data retrieval

    requires the Eagle Data Dow nloader Kit (with PC connection cable

    and software).

    The optional remote bu zzer also connects to the interface por t. The

    remote buzzer is for use in app lications w here a remote alarm

    indication is required.

    Buzzer

    A solid -state electronic buzzer is mou nted inside the top of the case.

    The buzzer sou nd s for gas alarms, malfunction, low battery voltage,and as an ind icator dur ing use of the Eagles man y d isplay and

    Sensors

    This section d escribes the Eagles stand ard sensors. Non -stand ard

    sensors are described in Append ices C, D, and E. Your specific Eagle

    model may not include all of the sensors described below. Under

    norm al cond itions, the Eagles standard sensors have an op erating life

    of approximately two years.

    Combustible gas sensorThe combustible gas (LEL) sensor is mounted with the flam e arrestor

    down in the sensor block to allow th e samp le flow to diffuse into the

    sensor. Five pins extend from the top of the sensor. The sensor cable

    connects to the pins on one end and terminates in a four-position

    connector, which plugs into the COMB socket on the analog pr int

    circuit board (PCB).

    The LEL sensor d etects combustible gas and vap ors in the atmosph ere

    with a catalytic p latinu m element. The reaction of gas with oxygen on

    the catalyst causes a change in the resistance of the element, which isconverted by the Eagle into a read ing of combustible gas

    concentration.

    Oxygen sensor

    The oxygen (O2) sensor is mounted face dow n in the sensor block to

    allow the sam ple flow to d iffuse into the sensor. A multi-pin p lug

    connects the O2 sensor to the CN2 socket on the analog PCB.

    The O2 sensor is an electrochem ical cell, wh ich reacts to the oxygen in

    the atmosph ere and prod uces a voltage proportional to the oxygenconcentration. This voltage is converted by the Eagle into a reading of

    oxygen concentration.

    Standard toxics (CO and H2S) sensors

    The CO and H 2S sensor s are physically very sim ilar. They have

    cylind rical bodies and are mou nted face dow n in the sensor block. A

    three-position connector from each sensor p lugs into EC1 or EC2

    socket on the analog PCB. The sensor connected to the EC1 socket

    d isplays as chan nel 3; the sensor connected to the EC2 socket d isplays

    as channel 4.

    The toxics sensors are electrochemical cells, which react to th e target

    gas in the atmosph ere, producing a cur rent prop ortional to the

    concentration of gas. The current is converted by the Eagle into a

    reading of target gas concentration.

    Circuit Boards

    The Eagle circuit board s analyze, record, control, store, and d isplay

    the information collected.

    The analog PCB is moun ted p erpend icular to the base of the

    instrum ent case. It is located in the same half of the case as the sensors

    and sample-drawing system. The sensor leads connect to the analog

    PCB.The main PCB is mounted in the top half of the case. It includes the

    methane elimination and CAL/ SETUP switches.

    CAUTION:The circuit boards should be serviced only by authorized repair

    personnel.

    Methane Elimination Switch

    The methane elimination switch (SW1) is mounted near the top right

    corner of the m ain PCB.

    For app lications w here methane is an interfering gas, you can set the

    methane elimination switch to eliminate most response to methane

    (see App end ix B: Methane Elimination on p age 52). An external

    methane elimination sw itch is available as an option.

    CAL/SETUP Switch

    The CAL/ SETUP switch (SW2) is mounted near the midd le left edge

    of the main PCB.

    This switch controls the Eagle functions ava ilable to the user by

    d isabling the SHIFT/button. Without the use of this bu tton, the user

    is unable to enter Calibration or Setup mode. (Display mode is

    available with either sw itch sett ing.) See Setting User Access on

    4. Verify tha t the Eagle is operating correctly. Use the RKI Check Kit

    to easily verify correct operation of the Eagle.

    WARNING: If the Eagle does not respond t o v erificat ion, take it to a

    know n fresh-air env ironment, then perform t he

    demand zero procedure described in Preparing for

    Calibrat ion on page 41. Repeat st ep 4 before using the

    Eagle in a potent ially hazardous location.

    Normal Operation

    The Eagle continuou sly m onitors the sampled atmosph ere and

    displays the gas concentrations present for its target gases. In a low-

    light environm ent, press any button to turn on the d isplay backlight.

    (See Upd ating the Back Light Setting on page 36 to program

    backlight duration.) If the Confirm ation Beep op tion is turned on , the

    Eagle beeps once every 15 minu tes to verify that its on the job.

    To use the probe, insert it into the mon itoring a rea and w ait a fewsecond s for response.

    NOTE: Response time increases with the length of the samp le hose.

    Very long sam ple hoses may requ ire several seconds to show

    response at the Eagle.

    Monitoring Combustible Gas in the PPM Range

    1. Start the Eagle in the LEL range as described in Starting Up the

    Eagle on page 9.

    2. Allow the combustibles sensor to stabilize (3 to 5 minu tes). This

    stabilization p eriod is required for the PPM range on ly.

    3. Press the LEL/ PPM button. The Eagle displays PPM in p lace of

    LEL% for combustible gas, and the gas reading d isplays in parts

    per million.

    4. If the PPM read ing is not zero, take the Eagle to a fresh air

    environm ent, then perform the demand zero procedure as

    described in Prepa ring for Calibration on page 41.

    NOTE: For the data logging option, combustible gas readings are

    logged in %LEL regard less of the LEL/ PPM setting.

    Monitoring Combustible Gases Other than Methane

    If the combustible sensor is calibrated to methane (CH4), use Table 4

    to determine the response of other combustible gases. This table is

  • 8/7/2019 Eagle Monitor Manual

    18/85

    12 Operation Eagle Instruction Manual

    based on Eagles in fu ll response mod e (methane elimination switch

    set to CH4) calibrated to methane. Multiply the display read ing by the

    factor in the ap propriate colum n in the table. For example, if you are

    detecting hexane an d the d isplay reads 10% LEL, the actual hexane

    read ing is 10% x 2.55 = 26% LEL hexane.

    WARNING: The Eagles alarms are init iat ed by the DISPLAY reading

    not the FACTORED reading. If you are monit oring forhexane as in the example below and the low alarm is set

    for 10% LEL, the Eagle w ill init iat e a low alarm at 26%

    LEL hexane (display reading of 10% LEL).

    To determine the concentration of other combustible gases with th e

    Eagle in m ethane elimination mod e, see Table 7 on page 53.

    Eagle Instruction Manual Calibration 41

    Calibration

    Calibrate the Eagle when you replace a sensor. Also calibrate th e Eagle

    periodically to assure prop er sensor response.

    You can program the Eagle to notify you w hen it is due for calibration

    (see Upd ating the Time Calibration Setting on p age 38). The

    frequency of calibration d epend s up on the am oun t and type of use. Atyp ical calibration frequency is once per m onth .

    Calibration Supplies and Equipment

    To calibrate the Eagle, you need :

    Known calibrating samples of combustible and the appropriate

    toxic gases. The sam ples shou ld h ave concentrations in

    approximately the midd le of the range of detection.

    An oxygen-free source, such as 100% nitrogen or CO in a nitrogen

    balance

    A demand -flow regulator to provide adequate samp le gas flow

    For one-source, au to-calibration, you can use the RKI Four-Gas

    Cylind er to ad just all the sensors at the same time, autom atically, with

    no n eed for a zero-oxygen sou rce. This section includes instru ctions

    for calibration w ith the deman d-flow regu lator and RKI Four-Gas

    Cylind er. This section also includes inst ructions for calibra tion w ith

    individual gas sources.

    Preparing for Calibration1. Take the Eagle to a non-hazardous location w ith fresh-air

    conditions.

    2. Turn on the Eagle and allow one minute for warm u p.

    3. Press and hold the AIR/ button u ntil a tone soun ds.

    The Eagle au tomatically sets the combu stible gas an d toxics

    circuits to zero and the oxygen circuit to 20.9%.

    4. Screw the regulator to the calibration cylinder.

    5. Connect the calibration tubing to the regulator.

    Calibrating the Eagle

    Press and hold the SHIFT/button, then press the DISP/ ADJ bu tton.

    The Calibration menu d isplays.

    NOTE: The following screens illustrate a four-gas Eagle with the d ata

    logging op tion and are intended as examp les only. Your Eagle

    may d isplay slightly d ifferent screens.

    The Eagles Calibration m enu includes two method s of calibration:

    Auto Calibration an d Single Calibration.

    Auto Calibration: This method allow s you to calibrate all four

    sensors simu ltaneously. It is designed for use w ith the RKI Four-

    Gas Calibration Cylind er and is the qu ickest and easiest method tocalibra te the Eagle.

    Single Calibration: This method allows you to calibrate one sensor

    at a time. Use this method if you are only calibrating one or tw o

    sensors, if you are calibrating non-stand ard toxic sensors, or if you

    are not u sing the RKI Four-Gas Calibration Cylind er.

    Calibrating with the Auto Calibration method

    This section d escribes calibration u sing the Au to Calibration m ethod .

    To calibrate using the Single Calibration m ethod , see Calibratingwith the Single Calibration method on page 44.

    1. Use the AIR/ and SHIFT/button to place the promp t next to

    th e AUTO CALIBRATION menu op tion.

    2. Press the POWER/ ENTER button to display the Calibration

    Values screen.

    The gas concentrations d isplayed in the Calibration Values screen

    must match the gas concentrations listed on the Four-Gas Calibration

    Cylind er. Ifall concentrations m atch, go to step 7. Ifone or more

    concentrations do not match, continu e with step 3.
