1 WARNINGS
Read Before Operating
This manual 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.
Warning:
Use only the Lithium battery or external rechargeable battery provided
by RAE Systems. This instrument has not been tested in an explosive
gas/air atmosphere having an oxygen concentration greater than 21%.
Substitution of components may impair suitability for intrinsic safety.
Replace batteries only in non-hazardous locations.
STATIC HAZARD: Clean only with a damp cloth.
For safety reasons this equipment must be operated and serviced by
qualified personnel only. Read and understand instruction manual
completely before operating or servicing. Any rapid up-scale reading
followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas
concentration beyond upper scale limit, which may be hazardous.

3 General Information
The EchoView wirelessly receives the data shown on an FMC2000
controller in a MeshGuard network and displays them on its screen and
delivers audible and visible alerts. The EchoView contains no sensors. Its
built-in radio board operates on a frequency of 2.4GHz and complies
with IEEE 802.15.4 standard. It works with the FMC2000 wireless
controller on a flexible, robust wireless network to provide reliable, low-
cost operation. Up to four EchoViews can operate on a single network. It
also works in a ProRAE Guardian network with a PC.
