WARNINGS
Read Before Operating
The NEO’s User’s Guide must be carefully read
by all individuals who have or will have the
responsibility of using, maintaining or servicing this
product. The product will perform as designed only if
it is used, maintained and serviced in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Caution
⚫Change battery only in an area known to be
non-hazardous.
⚫Use only mPower’s battery pack PN: M011-
3002-000.
Attention
⚫Changez la batterie uniquement dans une zone
connue pour être non dangereuse.
⚫Utiliser uniquement la batterie mPower PN:
M011-3002-000.
Warning
•Never operate the monitor when the cover is removed.
•Remove the monitor cover only in area known to be non-
hazardous.
•Use only mPower’s sensor and accessories. Substitution of
components will impair suitability for intrinsic safety and void
warranty.
•It is recommended to bump test with a known concentration
gas to confirm the instrument functions properly before use.
•For maximum safety, the accuracy of the instrument should
be checked by exposing it to a known concentration
calibration gas before each day’s use.
•Ensure that the gas inlet is not blocked.
•When replacing batteries, dispose of old ones properly.
•To achieve the optimal test results, it is recommended to
preheat the unit for 2 minutes after entering the test
interface
•Ensure that the water-trap filter is clean & replaced regularly.
•Don’t remove the sensor. Zero and span calibration is
required once the sensor is moved.
•Before use, ensure that the colorless ESD layer on the display
is not damaged or peeling. (The blue protective film may be
removed.)
Avertissement
•N'utilisez jamais le moniteur lorsque le couvercle est enlevé.
•Retirer le couvercle du moniteur et la batterie uniquement
dans une zone connue comme non dangereuse.
•La substitution de composants compromettra l'aptitude à la
sécurité intrinsèque et annulera la garantie.
•Il est recommandé de tester avec un gaz de concentration co
nnu pour confirmer que l'instrument fonctionne correctemen
tavant de l'utiliser.
•Avant l'utilisation, assurez-vous que la couche ESD
incolore de l'écran n'est pas endommagée ou épluchée.
(Le film protecteur bleu peut être enlevé.)
User Interface
The user interface has four-key operation, one big

Turning the Unit On
Press the Down Key for 3 seconds, until the
buzzer beeps and the red LED flashes. After a warm
up and self-test sequence, the unit enters normal
reading mode, showing real time gas concentrations.
Turning the Unit Off
In normal reading mode, press and hold the Down
Key for a 5-second count down, until “Unit Off”is
displayed.
Charging
Always fully charge the battery before use. Plug
the charger to the bottom of NEO. The battery icon
on the LCD shows the charge status. During active
charging, the icon cycles from empty to full.
Charging/Comm Cable
The USB Charging/Communications cable allows
charging the unit on a personal computer. A locally-
purchased cable can work as well for charging, but
mPower’s cable must be used for proper data transfer
when communicating with mPower Suite.
Water-trap Filter
Water-trap filters (P/N: M490-0004-010) are used
to protect the sensor from dust and aerosols in dirty
environments. The filter should be twisted on to the
gas inlet before the instrument is used and
replaced once its surface is dirty.
Testing the Alarms
Important! Test the alarms prior to performing a
bump or span calibration test. If any alarm does not
respond, check the Alarm Settings in Config Mode to
make sure all alarms are enabled (Config Mode →
Alm Setting →Alarm Settings →Both Enabled). If
any alarms are enabled but are not functional, do not
use the instrument.
Under normal operation mode and non-alarm
conditions, the buzzer, LED and backlight can be
tested anytime by pressing the Right Key once.
Normal Mode
After warm-up is complete, the unit enters normal
reading mode and displays the instantaneous gas
concentration continuously.
Other values like STEL, TWA, and temperature,
etc. can be checked by pressing the Up/Down Key to
cycle through these screens one by one.
Configuration Mode
In Config Mode, the user can perform a sensor
calibration, change the alarm limits and set up other
parameters.
Enter/Exit Config Mode
Press and hold the Up and Down Keys together
for 3 seconds, to enter Config Mode.
•The Config Mode is password protected.
•The default password is “0000”.
•After all four digits are entered, move the cursor
to √and press the Up Key to enter config mode.
•Press the Left Key to exit Config Mode.

Zero Calibration
Zero calibration sets the baseline for the sensor
and is done in normal fresh air or other clean air
source.
•To enter fresh air calibration:
Config Mode →Calibration →Zero Calib.
•To start fresh air calibration:
Press the Right Key and a count-down timer
starts. When the count-down is finished, “Pass”
or “Fail”will be displayed. To abort the zero
calibration use the Left Key during count down.
Span Calibration
Span calibration defines the response of the sensor
to the gas. It is done with a known concentration gas.
•To enter span calibration:
Config Mode →Calibration →Span Calib
•To start span calibration:
Apply Gas →Start Calibration →Wait Count-
down Finish →Get Result.
Gas Selection
Span calibration is usually done with isobutylene.
To correct the response to be accurate for another gas:
Config Mode →Measure →Gas Library
Scroll the gas list and select the desired gas, then press
Left to save and exit.
Maintenance and Service
Replace the inlet water trap filter on a regular basis,
especially when used in dusty environments.
For battery, lamp, or sensor replacement and other
maintenance refer to the User Manual or contact
mPower’s service department.
