General Information
The Proton®ZM is a portable clip-on gas monitor that is
operated by a single key and has a two-year life span
(typical). It can produce a maximum of 730 minutes of alarm
(equivalant to one minute of alarm per eight hours for over
two years).
The Proton®ZM is designed to be clipped to a hardhat, belt
or other clothing, for personal monitoring. Gas levels are
monitored at low and high set points, indicated by three
different types of alarm signals: audio, light and vibrating.
The Proton®ZM requires no calibration, however, a bump test
should be performed every 30 days.

Start-up
Before the monitor is used for the rst time, it is in standby
and the display is blank. To turn on the Proton®ZM:
1. Press and hold the button for five seconds. After a long
beep, the monitor performs a 30-second warm-up.
After the warm-up, the monitor is in normal operating
mode and the remaining typical life span of the battery is
displayed.
Operation
During normal operation, the Proton®ZM displays the typical
remaining operating life in months; no concentration is
displayed.
Operational life is limited to 730 minutes of alarm. The
number of alarm-minutes consumed can be viewed by
pressing the button (see Alarm Minutes Consumed on
page 7).
Warning: The Proton®ZM is sealed with a special screw
and is designed to remain on continuously once activated. All
warranties are null and void if the Proton®ZM is opened. Only
the battery compartment can be opened.
An OK is displayed if the unit has passed bump test
within the last 30 days.
A Test is displayed when the 30-day period has
expired and a bump test is required, or the last
calibration failed.

Alarms and Maximum Alarm Minutes
The Proton®ZM is designed to deliver two years of operation
with one minute of alarm per eight hour shift or about 730
alarm-minutes.
During alarm conditions, the current alarm set point will
appear on the LCD. See Alarm Set Points for more details.

3. If an alarm occured within the past 24 hours, the peak
value and the elapsed time since the alarm occurred will
appear.
NOTE: Custom alarms can be as low as 5 ppm for
H2S and 20 ppm for CO and are set at time of order.
Proton®ZMs with custom alarms have a special label on
their back to indicate alarm levels.
