2 OR 3 YEAR GAS DETECTOR
50104153-003/05-2012
GasAlert Clip Extreme
The GasAlertClip Extreme 2 or 3 year gas detector (“the detector”) is a personal safety device that warns when hazardous gas exceeds factory set alarm setpoints. The detector stores and transmits gas alarm event data. It is your responsibility to respond properly to the alarms.

Carbon monoxide (CO) Parts per million (ppm)
Hydrogen sulfide (H

Safety Information—Read First
Warning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety.
Warning: Bump test the O
2
sensor before each day’s use to confirm its ability to respond to gas by exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated.
Do not activate the detector after the date on the package.
This product is a gas detector, not a measurement device.
Perform a self-test each day prior to use.
Ensure the sensor grill is free of dirt, debris, and is not obstructed.
Calibrate and/or bump test the detector in a normal atmosphere
(20.9% O
2
) that is free of hazardous gas.
Periodically test the response of the sensor to gas by exposing the detector to a target gas concentration that exceeds the low alarm setpoint. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated.
Periodically calibrate the GasAlertClip Extreme oxygen (O
2
) detector.

Recycling
This instrument contains a lithium battery. Do not mix with the solid waste stream. Spent batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler.

Activate the Detector
1. Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% O
2 hazardous gas.
) that is free of
2. Press and hold the Pushbutton C for 5 seconds.
3. The detector beeps and vibrates once.
4. The LEDs flash once.
5. The detector performs self-test. This make take several minutes. For more information, refer to Self‑Test.
6. When Self-Test is successful, the detector beeps and vibrates once and the LEDs flash once. The detector then displays the Detector
Life-Remaining Clock.
Note: Once the detector is activated, it cannot be deactivated except after a battery life-ending alarm. For more information, refer to
Automatic Battery Test and Safety Shutdown Mode.
Self‑Test
The detector performs self-test before any other function. Self-test must be performed in a normal atmosphere (20.9% O
2
) that is free of hazardous gas. After self-test is performed, wait 30 seconds before using the detector to ensure that it accurately detects gas.
When is self‑test required?
Prior to each day’s use; and
When the LCD displays Test.
Perform Self‑Test
1. Move to a normal atmosphere (20.9% O
2 hazardous gas.
) that is free of
2. Press and hold C for 1 second.
3. Confirm that the following tests are performed: a) The detector beeps and vibrates once.
b) The LEDs flash once.
c) The LCD displays all elements.
d) The LCD flashes Test while sensor integrity and battery life are tested.
e) The LCD displays low and high alarm setpoints.
f) If an alarm has occurred in the last 24 hours, the LCD displays the maximum gas exposure value and the hours that have elapsed since the exposure.
g) The LCD flashes Prn and .
4. After self-test is performed, wait 30 seconds before using the detector to ensure that it accurately detects gas.
Self‑Test Pass
When self-test is successful, the detector beeps and vibrates once. The
LCD displays u to confirm that self-test was successful. Test displays again 22 hours after performing self-test to indicate that a new self-test is required.
Self‑Test Fail
If self-test fails, the detector beeps 5 times and the LEDs flash before the LCD displays a blank screen. The LCD then returns to the normal operation screen and displays Test. Repeat self-test.
If self-test fails 3 consecutive times, the LCD displays a blank screen and the detector deactivates. For more information, refer to Safety
Shutdown Mode.
Automatic Battery Test
The detector automatically tests the battery every 2 hours.
Battery Test Fail
If a battery test fails, another test is initiated 30 minutes later. After
5 consecutive battery test failures, the LCD displays a blank screen and the detector deactivates. For more information, refer to Safety
Shutdown Mode.
Detector Life‑Remaining Clock
The detector life-remaining clock counts down the amount of operating time remaining in months, then days, then hours.
Detector Life‑Ending Alarm
The detector life-ending alarm occurs when the battery life-remaining clock displays 0 hours. The detector continues to operate for a maximum of 8 hours after the detector life-ending alarm activates. To deactivate the detector, press C.
Audible: 1 beep every 30 seconds
Visual: 1 flash every 30 seconds
Vibration: 1 slow vibration every 30 seconds
Gas Alarms
Low Gas Alarm
Audible: 1 slow beep every second
Visual: 1 slow flash every second
Vibration: 1 slow vibration every second
High Gas Alarm
Audible: 2 fast beeps every second
Visual: 2 fast flashes every second
Vibration: 2 fast vibrations every second
Battery life decreases rapidly when the detector is in alarm condition.
When alarm gas level returns to an acceptable range, the alarm deactivates.

Safety Shutdown Mode
The detector initiates safety shutdown mode when:
Self-test fails 3 consecutive times;
Automatic battery test fails 5 consecutive times; or
The detector has not been manually deactivated within 8 hours of detector life-ending alarm activation.
If the event logs have not been downloaded, contact BW Technologies by Honeywell.
What happens during safety shutdown?
The LCD displays a blank screen when the detector initiates safety shutdown mode.
The detector beeps and vibrates.
The LEDs flash 2 times per second for 15 seconds.
The LCD displays OFF or an error code, depending on the reason for the safety shutdown.
Auto Zero (H

2. Press and hold C for 3 seconds. If self-test has not been completed in the previous 22 hours, the detector performs self-test.
3. The LCD displays ZEr ppm and the gas type.
4. The LCD displays low alarm setpoint and high alarm setpoint.
5. If an alarm has occurred in the past 24 hours, the LCD displays the maximum gas exposure value and the hours that have elapsed since exposure began.
6. The LCD flashes Prn and .
Maximum Gas Exposure
When a gas exposure alarm initiates, the detector records the maximum gas exposure level and begins calculating the number of hours elapsed since the maximum exposure alarm began.
For each new exposure greater than the current maximum exposure, the detector resets the maximum gas exposure level to the new level and resets hours to 0.
After 24 hours of gas readings in the acceptable range, the detector resets maximum gas exposure level and hours to 0.
View Maximum Gas Exposure
1. Within 24 hours of receiving a gas alarm, press C.
2. The LCD displays the low and high alarm setpoints.
3. If a maximum gas exposure has occurred within 24 hours, the LCD displays the maximum gas exposure level and number of hours elapsed since the maximum exposure alarm began.
