SAFETY INFORMATION
1. IMPORTANT: Read and understand this manual prior to use.
2. IMPORTANT: Oxygen instruments will show high readings for up to
30 minutes if taken from warm air to cold temperatures and vice-versa. For best
results let them “soak” in the ambient conditions prior to use.
3. WARNING: Substitution of components may impair intrinsic Safety.
4. WARNING: This instrument contains a lithium battery which may leak
or explode if improperly used. DO NOT DISPOSE OF IN A FIRE.
5. WARNING: Only service in an area known to be free of combustible
gases.
6. WARNING: Instruments are not certied intrinsically safe in
environments above 21% oxygen.
7. WARNING: To verify operation prior to each day’s use a function test
(bump test) should be performed. If the instrument does not pass this test, full
calibration should be performed.
8. WARNING: Keep all openings free from dirt, debris and foreign
objects.
9. WARNING: Do not use a damaged or improperly operating
instrument. Contact a service representative immediately.
ONLY zero instrument in a gas free environment
SEULEMENT l’instrument zéro dans un gas libèrent l’environnenment.
WARNING: To maintain intrinsic safety, service must be performed by factory
authorized technicians with approved
replacement parts only.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour maintenir la sûreté intrinsèque, service doit être

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SENSIT P100 is an exceptionally rugged personal gas
monitor. The P100 is available in single gas congurations only.
Preset alarms provide visual, audible and vibration alerts for low
and high alarm conditions. Built-in “Time Weighted Average”
(TWA) and “Short Term Exposure Limit” (STEL) alarms provide
even greater margin of safety for the user. A custom display
provides the user with easy to view information including gas
concentration, time remaining in months to sensor replacement,
battery low alert and activation of calibration process. (See
Figure 1)

ALARMS
The SENSIT P100 has two basic styles of alarm. Low Alarms
activate at two second intervals while High Alarms activate at
one second intervals. All O2 alarms are High Alarms.
The sound, LEDs and vibrating motor are sequenced during
alarms. The alarm settings are controlled during the set-up of the
product. All instruments are preset for the standards that need
to be adhered for various locations and needs. Fig. 2 shows
examples of some of the alarm ranges.
Other alarm ranges are supplied upon request and appropriately
marked with your shipment.

ALARM ADJUSTMENT
See NEXT PAGE of this manual for Alarm Adjustment instructions.
FUNCTION (BUMP) TEST - MANUAL
Turn the instrument on and wait for the working display to
illuminate. Apply an approved concentration of gas to the sensor
area using the P100 calibration adapter. The ow should be 200-
400 cc/min. The alarm should occur in less than 20 seconds.
To verify the operation of this product this test should be done
prior to each day’s use. Failure to pass this test may indicate a
product failure or the need for calibration.
PRODUCT FEATURES
The SENSIT P100 is constructed of durable ABS plastic. The top
housing is additionally protected with a shock absorbing material
to protect the instrument from the rigors of eld use. The front
of the instrument has an opening for the sensor and sounder.
These are sealed to maintain the integrity of the IP65 rating. Two
buttons operate the instrument. The left button is for power while
the right is for zeroing and performing calibration. Multiple LED’s
beneath the frosted area create a very bright warning even in
bright sunlight.
The instrument is mounted using a sturdy suspender clip on the
back of the instrument. This instrument cannot be powered off or
zeroed when in alarm mode.
All sensors and batteries are designed for 2 years of continuous
normal use. The on-board memory will store up to 100 events or
alarm conditions. These can be downloaded through the use of
SCal-100 with SmartLink Software. Oldest events are over-written
automatically when the maximum is reached.

CALIBRATION
Turn on the SENSIT P100 until the working display is illuminated.
Wait for 2 minutes prior to beginning the calibration process.
1. Prepare the approved gas cylinder and regulator with the
calibration adapter attached. The ow should be 200-400 cc/min.
2. Push and hold the Zero button until the display reads “GAS”.
3. Attach the P100 calibration adapter.
4. Start the gas ow.
5. Push and release the Zero button. A changing number will ash
as will the CAL icon.
6. Successful calibration is indicated when only the gas
concentration is displayed. The CAL icon will no longer be
illuminated.
7. Bad calibration will be indicated by the word “BAD” and the
CAL icon on the display. Press the power button to acknowledge.
(Retry calibration)
8. Successful calibration will be logged as an Alarm event in the log.
BUMP/CALIBRATION using SCal-100 (Sold Seperately)
1. Prepare SCal-100 Station
2. Turn P100 On and allow to Zero
3. Install P100 into SCal-100 Station
4. Remove P100 when test is complete

SINGLE GAS MONITOR
OPERATION and USE
Press the ON button to start the instrument in an area known to be
gas free and with normal oxygen content. The following will display
as a normal start up sequence:
1. Activate all segments and icons
2. Gas type to be sensed
3. Software version
4. Temperature in °C
5. Alarms will sound, illuminate and vibrate
6. “LO” Low alarm value displays
7. “HI” High alarm value displays
8. “tA” TWA alarm value displays (when applicable)
9. “StL” STEL alarm value displays (when applicable)
10. “Sn” Serial Number displays
11. Displays remaining life, in months
12. All segments will ash for 6 seconds indicating zeroing
13. Working display is shown
If the instrument is in an area that is not gas free, “BAD” will
illuminate after the automatic zeroing followed by a reading based
on factory zero set points.
Attach the instrument to the outermost garment as close to your
head/face as practical. Follow federal, state, local and company
regulations as it relates to the use of this product.
OPERATION and USE (continued)
Alarms will indicate unsafe levels. The display will show
concentration data in combination with audible, visual and
vibration indications. TWA alarms can be acknowledged for 10
minute intervals by pressing any button.
A manual zeroing should only be done in an atmosphere known to
be gas free and containing normal oxygen levels. Press the ZERO
button for 2-3 seconds and release. All segments of the display will
ash followed by the working display.
Exposure to gas in excess of sensors range specications will result
in “OL” being displayed with the high alarm activated.
To view the remaining operational time in continuous mode, press
the zero button for 2-3 seconds and release. It will display the time
remaining prior to performing autozero.
BAT indicates low battery output and service will be needed soon.
Only factory trained personnel should perform any internal servicing.
BAT + LO indicates instrument should be immediately taken out
of service for battery replacement. Only factory trained personnel
should perform any internal servicing.
MO indicates months/days remaining of operation time before
battery and sensor servicing are required. Only factory trained
personnel should perform any internal servicing.
I2C indicates a communication error in the EEPROM. Service
is required. Only factory trained personnel should perform any
internal servicing.
To turn off, hold the POWER button down for 6 seconds until “OFF”
is displayed and release the button.
