Warnings
Read Before Operating
The full POLI User’s Guide 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.
CAUTION
• Change battery only in area known to be non-hazardous.
• UseonlyWatchGas battery PN:M004-3002-W00(12.01.09.0001).
• ATTENTION
• Changez la batterie uniquement dans une zone connue pour
être non dangereuse.
• Utiliser uniquement la batterie WatchGas PN: M004-3002-W00
(12.01.09.0001).
WARNING
• Never operate the monitor when the cover is removed.
• Remove the monitor cover only in area known to be non-
hazardous.
• Use only WatchGas lithium battery part number M004-
3002-W00 (12.01.09.0001).
• This instrument has not been tested in an explosive gas/air
atmosphere having oxygen concentration greater than 21%.
• Substitution of components will impair suitability for intrinsic
safety and void warranty.
• It is recommended to bump test with a known concentration
gas to conrm the instrument is functioning properly before
use.
• Before use, ensure that the colorless ESD layer on the display
is not damaged or peeling. (The blue protective lm may be
removed.)

• AVERTISSEMENT
• N’utilisez jamais le moniteur lorsque le couvercle est enlevé.
• Retirer le couvercle du moniteur et la batterie uniquement
dans une zone connue comme non dangereuse.
• Utilisez uniquement le numéro de pièce de la batterie au
lithium WatchGas M004-3002-W00 (12.01.09.0001).
• Cet instrument n’a pas été testé dans une atmosphère explosive
gaz / air ayant une concentration en oxygène supérieure à 21%.
• La substitution de composants compromettra l’aptitude à la
sécurité intrinsèque et annulera la garantie.
• Il est recommandé de tester avec un gaz de concentration
connu pour conrmer que l’instrument fonctionne
correctement avant de l’utiliser.
• • Avant l’utilisation, assurez-vous que la couche ESD incolore
• de l’écran n’est pas endommagée ou épluchée. (Le lm
protecteur bleu peut être enlevé.)
User Interface
Two key operation, four sensor sockets, one big LCD,
eight alarm LEDs, one buzzer, two vibration alarms.

Turning the unit On
Press and hold the Down Key for 3 seconds, until the
buzzer beeps and the red LED ashes. After a warm up
and self-test sequence, the unit enters normal reading
mode, showing real time gas concentrations.
Turning the unit O
In normal reading mode, press and hold the Down
Key for a 5-second count down, until“Unit O” is
displayed.
Charging
Always fully charge the battery before use. Plug the
charger into the bottom of the POLI. The battery icon
on the LCD shows the charge status. During active
charging, the icon cycles from empty to full and a yel-
low alarm light remains on, which switches to green
when completely charged.
Charging/Comm Cable
The USB Charging/Communications cable allows
charging the unit on a personal computer. A local-
ly-purchased cable can work as well for charging, but
WatchGas cable must be used for proper data transfer
when communicating with WatchGas Suite.
Normal Mode
After warm-up is complete, the unit enters normal
reading mode and displays the instantaneous gas
concentrations continuously.inlet before the instru-
ment is used and replaced once its surface is dirty.

Other values like STEL, TWA, Peak , Min, Date, LEL gas,
etc. can be checked by pressing the Right Key to cycle
through these screens one by one. The Left “Test” key
check alarm function.
Two text and symbol boxes at the LCD bottom are
mapped to the Left [+/OK] and Right [ / ] keys. The
text or symbol in the boxes will vary with the menu.
Conguration Mode
Hold down the Left and Right Keys
together for 3 sec. The cong mode
is password protected with a default
password of“0000”. Input all four digits
and press Left (OK) to enter cong
mode.

Cong Mode Menu
• CALIBRATION: Calibration, Bump, Set span value
• MEASURE: Enable/Disable sensors, Gas units
• ALARM: Set alarm limits, Man-Down info, etc.
• DATALOG: Clear data, Set interval, Select sensors
• MONITOR SETUP: LCD, Pump speed, Language
• WIRELESS: Wireless on/o or Register
• EXIT: Exit from Cong Mode
Exit Cong Mode
Press the Right Key repeatedly until the“Exit” icon is
highlighted, then press Left to exit.
Scrolling Numerical Entries
While modifying numerical values such span values
or alarm limits, the function of the Left [+/OK] key
can be switched between number increase and
decrease by pressing both keys simultaneously.
Change Alarm Limits
All alarm limits can be customized, including High,
Low, STEL and TWA alarms.
• To enter the alarm limit setting:
Cong mode Alarm Menu Alarm Type.
• To change a value:
Press Right to highlight the desired digit and press
Left to change the value. Holding down the Left Key
for continuous number scrolling.

• To save and exit:
Press the Right Key until “Done “ appears in the bot-
tom-left corner, then press Left to exit. If changes have
been made, there will be a message to conrm saving
the new values. Press“Yes”to save, “No”to discard.
Bump Test
A bump test is a quick 30-second check if the sen-
sors and alarms functioning, without doing a precise
calibration.
• To enter bump test:
Cong mode Calibration Menu Bump Test
• Select sensors to be bump tested:
All sensors are selected by default. Press Right to start
selecting, and Left to toggle a selection on or o.
Move the highlight with the Right key, then press the
check box when all selections are done.
• Apply test gas to the inlet.
• Press Left (Start) to initiate the
30-second bump test timer. When
complete, a Pass or Fail result is
displayed.

Fresh Air Calibration
Zero calibration sets the baseline for the sensor and is
done in normal fresh air or other clean air source.
• Enter fresh air calibration:
• Cong Mode Calibration Fresh Air Calib.
• Select sensors to be zeroed in the same manner
as described for Bump testing.
• Start fresh air zero:
• Press the Left key and a count-down timer starts.
When the count-down is nished,“Pass”or “Fail”
will be displayed. To abort the zero calibration use
the Left key during count down.
• The Oxygen sensor is set to 20.9% during Fresh
Air calibration and can be zeroed using the
Nitrogen Calib menu.
Span Calibration
• Span calibration uses known concentrations of
gas to dene the response of the sensor(s) to
the gas(es). Multiple sensors can be calibrated
simultaneously using a gas mixture. Use a xed-
ow regulator providing about 0.5 LPM. For
pumped units a demand-ow regulator can also
be used.
• To Set Span Value:
• Cong Mode Calibration Menu Span Value
• Press Right to highlight a sensor, Left to select
and Left [+/OK] again to increase or decrease that
sensor’s span concentration. Repeat with other
sensors as needed.

To perform Span Calibration:
Cong Mode Calibration Menu Span Calib
Select Sensor as for Bump Test Span Calib
• Apply gas to gas inlet, on the top of
the unit.
• Press Start and wait for the count-
down timer and calibration result.
• Switch o the gas and exit Calib Mode.
Maintenance and Service
For pumped units, replace the inlet lter a
regular basis, especially when used in high-dust
environments. For battery or sensor replacement
and other maintenance or services, please contact
WatchGas or refer to the User Manual.
