Stock Code: BAC-AF-0268-00
THE AIRSCAN MOBILE CO MONITOR IS NOT
FOR USE IN EXPLOSIVE AREAS.
3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 The PanBlast™ AirScan Mobile CO Monitor is
designed to operate in a portable or fixed
application. In all applications it is important to
consider:
-Availability of electrical power – 220VAC
or 110VAC or 12VDC.
-Keeping volume of sample line small.
-User ability to hear alarms.
-Instrument and sample line stability and
protection from damage.
-Instrument thermal environment between
4.5ºC (40ºF) and 82ºC (180ºF).
-Access to controls for operational checks
and calibration.
-Sample line originates downstream of
filtering and air treatment.
3.2 The sample air from the breathing air system
should be set up to avoid any undue moisture
problems. Good practice and use of water legs
and vertical sampling from lines should be
observed. Refer to Figure 2 for optional ways to
limit any condensation problems.
3.3 The sample line should be provided with the
necessary reduction plumbing to fit the 6mm
(1/4") NPT female opening on the AirScan
Mobile CO Monitor. It is recommended that the
ID of the sample line be as small as possible
down to 1.5mm (1/16”) ID.
3.4 The electrical connection is set up as standard
220 VAC 50Hz. Ready shut-off of fixed
installations should be provided. Sample line
volume is critical; keep line as short as possible.
3mm (1/8") OD x 1.5mm (1/16") ID
Polyurethane tubing is commonly used as the
sample line although it may require physical
protection in exposed areas. Galvanized and
PVC material should not be used.

4.0 OPERATION
4.1 The PanBlast™ AirScan Mobile CO Monitor
operation is based on taking a small sample
from the breathing air system concurrent with
the air being delivered to personnel in
approved breathing apparatus. This small
sample is exposed to a sensor capable of
detecting low levels of carbon monoxide (CO)
and other toxic gases or vapors. Using known
levels of carbon monoxide gas (10 ppm CO for
example) it is possible to calibrate the AirScan
Mobile CO Monitor to generate alarms when the
sensor is exposed to levels equal to or higher
than the level of the calibration gas.
Since it is critical that the sample air be
continuously monitored the PanBlastTM AirScan
Mobile CO Monitor also has a pressure sensor
that confirms the sample flow. If the sample
airflow is too low or too high, the instrument
will initiate a flow alarm. (Refer to the section of
the manual on visual annunciators, controls,
and audio alarms for more information on these
alarms.)

Properly installed and maintained, the PanBlastTM
AirScan Mobile CO Monitor will measure the level of
carbon monoxide and many toxic hydrocarbons in the
compressed air sample. The instrument does NOT
remove or convert carbon monoxide.
VISUAL INDICATORS, CONTROLS AND AUDIO
INFORMATION
Using Figure 3 as a reference, the following lists the
function of the indicators and controls used in operating
and calibrating the PanBlastTM AirScan Mobile CO Monitor.
The audio alarms related to these controls are noted:
1）Horn
2）External alarm/status light. This indicator will
be GREEN, RED or YELLOW.
GREEN: No alarm condition.
RED: Carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons have
exceeded the pre-set alarm limits.
YELLOW: Indicates one of four possible
conditions: -
•Warm-up period two minutes (No Audio).
•RUN/CAL switch in CAL position (10 second
beep).
•LOW-pressure condition (10 second beep).
•HIGH-pressure condition (10 second beep).
3）The air quality indicator provides the
instrument operator knowledge of the alarm
condition of the toxic gas sensor. When the
sample air contamination exceeds the pre-set
alarm limit the calibration status indicator will
turn red. When the contamination is less than
the pre-set alarm limit the indicator will be
green.
4）The calibration adjustment control screw is
used only during the calibration procedure
covered later in this manual.
5）The RUN/Calibration selection valve control
allows the instrument technician to select the
source of the sample gas to the instrument.
In the Run mode the sample is from the
breathing air system and in the calibration
mode the sample comes from the calibration
gas port.
6）The flow meter indicator provides an
illuminated indication of flow through the
instrument. This flow should be about 0.5 SCFH,
which is mid-range on the indicator.
7）The calibration gas input port provides the
capability to introduce calibration gases to the
instrument sensor when the calibration/Run
valve is in the calibration mode.
8）Faceplate/door screw
9）Internal sample flow regulator
10）Sample input port
11）Line cord
12）Accessory plug

should be powered up electrically first and then
the sample flow initiated.
5.5 Using the Sample regulator #9, Figure 3
accessed by loosening the faceplate screw #8,
Figure 3. Adjust (top of regulator) the flow to
the instrument until the flow indicator
illuminates a midrange of the GREEN indicator
lights. The RUN/CAL switch must be in the RUN
position.
Observe the visual indicators for a minute or
slightly more.
•Air Quality Indicator – RED briefly – then
GREEN.
•Alarm Status Indicator - YELLOW warm-up
period - then GREEN.
5.6 With the visual indicators all GREEN, move the
RUN/CAL switch to the CAL position. This will
stop the sample flow to the sensor and the
ALARM STATUS INDICATOR will immediately
turn YELLOW.
The alarm horn will initiate an intermittent
alarm (10 Seconds)
5.7 Move the RUN/CAL switch to the RUN position.
Warm-up will be initiated and the audio will
terminate. In two minutes the instrument will
return to normal operation and all lights will
become GREEN if the sample air is clean.
Prior to putting a PanBlastTM AirScan Mobile CO
Monitor into service after successful startup the
following RESPONSE CHECK procedure should
be completed to confirm an operational
calibration.
