General Information
This Diagnostic Kit manual is intended to supplement the SafEye Xenon
800 Open Path Gas Detection System Instruction Manual
(P/N 10055711). The Diagnostic Kits allow the use of a convenient
alternative to using a PC for installation, startup, and general diagnostic
evaluation of the SafEye System. There are two diagnostic kits offered:
• a general-purpose unit
• an intrinsically-safe unit for use in hazardous areas.
Each kit uses a PDA (personal digital assistant) as an interface.
The application software is described in this manual and is the same for
both kits.
