INSTRUCTIONS
Gas Inspector Monitor Software for use with Det-Tronics
FlexVu
®
Universal Display
Model UD10
IMPORTANT
All firmware versions of the FlexVu® UD10 are compatible with the latest Gas Inspector Monitor
(1.6.xx). To take full advantage of the latest Gas
Inspector Monitor features, the FlexVu UD10 firmware must be 2.80 or higher. The firmware version is located in the Systems Setup window
(see Figure 11).
DESCRIPTION
The FlexVu ® Universal Display Model UD10 is designed and approved as a ‘stand alone’ device, while also performing all the functions of a gas controller. When the
FlexVu UD10 is used in combination with a compatible
Detector Electronics Corporation (Det-Tronics) gas sensor/detector, it is able to record important information
(alarms, faults, and calibrations) from the sensor/detector.
The information is date and time stamped, and stored in the electronics module of the FlexVu UD10. Gas
Inspector Monitor allows the user to later upload the stored information to a Personal Computer (PC), where it can be displayed, saved, or printed.
FEATURES
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Gas Inspector Monitor software can operate on most
Intel ® based computers running Microsoft ® Windows
XP or Windows 7. When installing Gas Inspector Monitor in Windows 7, ensure that the PC is a 32-bit version.
Currently, 64-bit computers running Windows 7 are incompatible with Gas Inspector Monitor.
A minimum of 16 megabytes of RAM is required, however,
32 or more megabytes are recommended for optimum performance. The software also requires a color monitor with a minimum resolution of 640 by 480, and a hard drive with at least 10 megabytes of free space.
• Data logs available for Det-Tronics sensors/detectors
(see Table 1)
• Displays real time fault/alarm indicators
• Stored data can be uploaded to a PC
• Logs can be viewed, stored to a file, or printed.

CAUTION
The PC must always be located in a non-hazardous controlled location.

STARTUP
NOTE
Communication between the FlexVu UD10 module and the PC uses the Modbus RTU protocol, with the FlexVu UD10 module configured as a Modbus slave.
WARNING
Do not open the FlexVu UD10 assembly in a hazardous area when power is applied.
1. With the FlexVu UD10 in a normal operating mode, open Gas Inspector Monitor. The System Setup window will open with the recommended Modbus
Settings of 9600 baud rate, no parity, and a polling address of 1 (Figure 11).
Figure 12—Computer Management Window
3. Click Find Device to create a connection between the FlexVu UD10 and the PC. A dialog box will appear above the System Setup window to confirm the connection (Figure 13). Click OK , then click
Proceed to continue.
Figure 11—System Setup with Default Settings
2. Verify that the appropriate PC Comm port is selected by looking in the Windows Device Manager for the correct setting. This is accomplished by right-clicking on My Computer (from the Start Menu), then select
“Manage.” When the Computer Management window appears, select Device Manager (Figure 12) and expand the menu tree for Ports (COM & LPT). Make sure the RS-485 Port is using the same Comm Port shown in the System Setup window (Figure 11).
Figure 13—Device Connected Dialog Box
NOTE
In cases where the FlexVu UD10 cannot be found (Figure 14) after selecting “Find Device,” the settings entered in the System Setup are incorrect or the USB converter is faulty. Uninstall and reinstall the drivers to resolve this problem.

UNINSTALLING DRIVERS
1. To uninstall drivers, right-click on My Computer and select “Manage” to open the Computer Management window. Select “Device Manager ” (Figure 12).
2. Expand the “Universal Serial Bus controllers” tree, and the USB converter will be listed by model number. Right-click on the appropriate model and choose “Uninstall.”
3. Click OK to confirm removal of the drive. The same steps can be used to uninstall the RS-485 driver.
TOOLS MENU
After the user completes all the required installations, Gas
Inspector Monitor is ready to monitor information stored in the FlexVu UD10. The monitoring tools accessible to the user are Logs, Status, and System Setup.
Event Logs
Event logs are listed by Event (number), Date, Time,
Description, and Event ID. Each Event ID number is related to a specific Description (e.g. POWER UP, LOW
ALARM ON, etc.). Normal status is highlighted in green, faults in yellow, and alarm events are red (Figure 20).
Calibration Logs
Calibration logs are listed by Event (number), Date, Time,
Description, Event ID, Cal Zero, and Cal Span. Each
Event ID number is related to a specific Description (e.g.
ZERO CAL, SPAN CAL, etc.). The values under the Cal
Zero and Cal Span columns represent the “Raw Sensor
A-to-D (Analog-to-Digital) Counts.” Normal calibration status is highlighted in green, calibration faults in yellow, and failed calibrations are red (Figure 21).
SORT ORDER
By default, logs are sorted by most recent date and time.
Logs can also be sorted by description (alphabetically), by double-clicking on the Description column header.
LOGS
This option opens the Logs window, where the user can select between Event Logs or Calibration Logs. Choose the log type to be retrieved by selecting from the dropdown menu, labeled “Log Type” (Figure 15). Storing and retrieving of event logs are performed by the FlexVu
UD10, for all sensor/detector types. Depending on the sensor/detector logging capabilities, calibration logs are stored in the sensor/detector or in the FlexVu UD10,
(Table 1). All Event and Calibration Logs are dated and time stamped.
SAVING FILES
To save a file for use in a spreadsheet, such as Excel, click the Export to File button (Figure 17).
Figure 17—Export to File
ADDITIONAL BUTTONS
The Stop button (Figure 18) will immediately suspend the retrieval of an event log or calibration log. Click the
Retrieve Logs button to begin a new retrieval.

To begin retrieving logs, click the Retrieve Logs button
(Figure 16).
Figure 18—Stop
Figure 16—Retrieve Logs
All data is stored in non-volatile memory, which can accommodate approximately 1000 events. When the maximum is exceeded, the oldest events are automatically overwritten to make room for the newest events.
The Close button (Figure 19) exits the Logs window, allowing other user accessible tools to be selected.
