First Time Activation
To activate the detector, press and hold down button for approx 5 seconds. When activated, the detector will vibrate,
flash, and sound the audible alarm. A successful activation will display the life remaining in months on the detector as
24 months.
Display Details
The detector utilizes a special high viewing angle L D that is designed to enhance the screen visibility. In the absence of
gas, it displays life remaining. In those cases where gas is present, the display will automatically shift to a display that
shows gas concentration and a battery icon.
NOTE: The display mode can be changed in the IR Lin software with the "Sensor Reading" and "Life
Remaining" user options.
WARNING: Users must familiarize themselves with the icons in both non-alarm and alarm states
WARNING: If the display is missing icons or cannot be clearly read, please contact your local Otis
Instruments representative immediately.

Day to Day Usage
Prior to daily use, the detector will prompt the user to perform a self test. This process is a simple and effective way to
ensure safe operation of the detector. During the “Self Test” the audio, visual, and vibrating alarms are activated and the
sensor is tested. Below is a step by step process for performing the test:
Screen Display Detail
Screen 1:
When the “Test” Icon appears in the upper left hand corner,
a self test is required. Press the button on the front of the
detector to perform the test.
Screen 2:
After pressing the button, the following screen will appear.
During the self test, ensure that the following occurs: The
unit emits one audible beep; all LEDs light up; the unit
vibrates; all L D display elements appear.
Screen 3:
After the full element L D screen, the low alarm and high
alarm set points will be displayed. NOTE: These alarm set
points can be adjusted using the IR Link or alibration
Station Dock configuration options.
Factory Standard Alarm Set Points are:
H2S = Low 10 ppm / High 15 ppm
O = Low 35 ppm / High 200 ppm
O2 = Min 19.5% / Max 23.5%
Screen 7: (see steps 4-6 for additional screen displays)
When a self test is successful, the unit will turn to the
original screen, displaying a check mark in place of where
the test icon was previously displayed, and one audible
beep will sound.
The unit will by default prompt another self test in 20 hours
from when the button was pressed.
NOTE: This value can be changed via the IR Lin
software from 8-20 hours. See the IR Lin Quic
Reference Guide for details.

Additional Steps
In the previous section, the most common screen configurations were outlined. If the unit has been programmed via the
IR Link or has been exposed to gas additional, though, the following screens may appear.
Screen Sequence # Detail
Screen 4 If programmed with a “User ID”, after the alarm set points
are displayed a combination of numbers and or letters will
scroll across the screen. This will be a max of 2 screens
with a maximum character limit on the “User ID” of 6
characters. The “User ID” can be changed/modified via
the IR Link software.
Screen 5 If the detector has been exposed to gas exceeding the low
alarm set point, a value will appear with “max” next to it.
This represents the peak value (highest) that the detector
has seen. After this screen, there will be another screen
displaying a values with hours, days or months—this
represents the amount of time past since the peak reading.
Screen 6 After the peak reading and time since screens, a screen
will appear with LP. If the user presses the button down
at while this is displayed, the peak value on the detector
will be reset.
NOTE: While the value will be cleared on the display
the value will be held in the detector’s log. See the event
log section for further details. This value can be cleared
on the next screen.

Failures/FAQ’s
•If the self test fails, the detector emits five short beeps and flashes before displaying “Test”. Repeat the self test.
•If the self test fails three (3) consecutive times the detector will enter a Fail Safe mode. Please contact Otis
Instruments for a replacement detector.
•During normal operation, the battery is continuously monitored. If the battery is low for more than (3) hours the
detector enters Fail Safe mode.
•If the battery self test fails (5) consecutive times the L D will display “EO5”. In case of an EO5 screen
discontinue use and contact Otis Instruments for a replacement detector.
•Along with the battery, the sensor is continuously monitored during normal operation. If a problem with the sensor
is detected, the screen will display “EO6”. In case of an EO6 screen, please discontinue use and contact Otis
Instruments for a replacement detector.
•If the detector is displaying “bUP”, the detector is either due for a bump test because of a scheduled test or has
failed a bump test. Please refer to “Bump Test Interval” for more detail.
•If the detector is displaying “EOL” the unit has reached the end of its operating life. Please discontinue use.

Alarms
Alarm Types
Screen Display Detail
Low Alarm:
Audible Alarm = one slow beep every second
Visual Alarm = one slow flash every second
Vibrating Alarm = one slow vibration every second
High Alarm and Over Limit (OL) Alarm:
Audible Alarm = two fast beeps every second
Visual Alarm = two fast flashes every second
Vibrating Alarm = two fast vibrations every second
Detector Life ountdown Alarm (EOL)
When the unit has less than one month of life remaining, it
will switch to days remaining.
When the unit has less than one day remaining, it will
switch to hours remaining.
When the unit has eight hours remaining, it will begin to
beep, flash, and vibrate intermittently.
NOTE: To end the alarms, press the button down.
Once the unit has reached the end of its operating life, the
display will show “EOL”.
Alarm Set Points
Factory Standard Alarm Set Points are:
H2S = Low 10 ppm / High 15 ppm
O = Low 35 ppm / High 200 ppm
O2 = Min 19.5% / Max 23.5%
NOTE: These set points can be changed using the OI-TOCSIN-LINK. Please refer to the IR Lin Quic
Reference Guide for further details. To display the detector alarm set points press the button on the
front of the detector.
NOTE: Use caution when changing alarm set points. Confirm these levels with your company safety
officer.
CAUTION: DO NOT use IR communications when an explosive atmosphere may be present.

vent Log
By default the detector stores the last twenty five (25) alarm events. The system stores events by first in first out, i.e. the
26th event will replace the first event and so on. This information can be downloaded using the OI-TO SIN-LINK. For
each alarm event the detector records the following:
•The detector serial number
•Bump Test (Yes or No)
•Life remaining on the detector
•Number of self tests performed
•Number of events
•Alarm ondition (Low, High, or OL)
•Specific event date and time
•Peak gas concentration in ppm or %.
“Bump Test Interval” (bUP) - Clearin the alert
Using the IR Link or Software Manager, units can be programmed to alert the user if a bump test is due. This interval
can be set anywhere from 1 to 365 days.
NOTE: The unit default is to have no bump interval programmed.
If a detector is due for a bump test, the unit display will alternate between the months remaining and “bUP”. In addition
the unit will emit alternating flashes (left and right) every 5 seconds. And the “test” icon will remain even after a button
push.
This alert can be cleared by either placing the unit in an OI-2100-DO K or by manually applying gas to the unit. To
manually clear the alert, press the button down once, the words "GAS" will show on the display while the TEST icon
flashes. The detector will wait for 45 seconds for the target gas to be applied, or a button press to skip the bump test. If
the SG is bumped while showing "GAS", then it will record as a bump test in the event log instead of as an exposure.
If no gas is applied, it will return to the normal screen and will not record anything in the event log.

O2 Detector-Calibration
NOTE: Otis Instruments recommends users of the OI-2100-O2 bump test the detector before using each day.
OI-2100-O2 detector factory default will prompt the user to calibrate the detector every 30 days. The user will be
prompted by the screen flashing AL, please see calibration instruction below:
Screen Display Detail
“O2 AL” NOTE: Only perform O2 calibration in normal ail
(20.9% Oxygen) that is free of hazardous gases.
1. Press and hold the yellow button for four seconds.
2. The display screen will show “ AL”, and the “O2”
icon will flash in the lower left corner.
3. After a successful calibration, the detector will emit
one beep, a vibration, and an LED flash.
4. After a unsuccessful calibration, the detector will
beep, flash, and continue to display “ al”. If
several calibrations are failed, please contact your
local Otis Instruments representative.
