General Information

UNI (MP100) is a single sensor, portable, personal toxic gas monitor. It displays gas concentration continuously on a big segment LCD. It also monitors STEL, TWA, peak and min

(for O

2

only) value of the gas and can be displayed on demand.

High, Low, STEL&TWA alarm threshold values are configurable. The shell is made of high strength, durable material. Two key operation, simple to use. Sensor and battery can be replaced easily. Calibration is also very convenient.

Sensor calibration

Before the unit can monitor gas correctly, it needs to know the metric, this is done by zero calibration and span calibration.

Calibration adapter

1.

Calibration adapter is used to apply gas to the unit during calibration.

2.

Before span calibration (in the following section), attach the Calibration Adapter over the inlet port on the front of MP100 by pressing it into place.

3.

Open the gas cylinder valve, then press the Left Key to start the calibration count down.

8

MP100 User’s Guide

4.

Take off the Calibration Adapter and complete calibration.

When monitoring, never operate the MP100 with the Calibration Adaptor attached. The

MP100’s sensor operates by diffusion. If the Calibration Adapter is attached during normal operation, inconsistent and lower-than-normal readings will occur because of decreased concentration of the gas being monitored.

Zero calibration

Zero calibration is to set the base line for the sensor, it is done in fresh air. When LCD displays , press the Left Key to start zero calibration. The unit will start a 15 second count-down, after the count-down is finished, zero calibration result will be displayed on the LCD, pass or fail .

If user does not want to do zero calibration, during the 15 seconds count, press the Right Key,

LCD displays , zero calibration is aborted.

Span calibration

Span calibration is to set the metric of the sensor to the gas, it is done with a known concentration gas. When LCD displays , apply the known gas to the unit, then press the Left

Key to start span calibration. Unit will start count-down, the count-down time depends on

9

MP100 User’s Guide different sensors (normally 60 seconds), after count-down is finished, span calibration result will be displayed on the LCD, pass or fail .

If user does not want to do span calibration during count-down, press the Right Key, LCD displays , span calibration is aborted.

Bump test

Bump test is to check if sensor and alarm devices are working properly, it is done with a known concentration gas. When LCD displays , apply the known gas to the unit, then press the Left Key to start bump test. Unit will start count-down, the count-down time depends on different sensors (normally 45 seconds), after count-down is finished, bump test result will be displayed on the LCD, pass or fail .

If user does not want to do bump test during count-down, press the Right Key, LCD displays , bump test is aborted.

Change alarm limit

MP100 User’s Guide press the Left Key to confirm the changing.

* MP100 will show “Err”, if the input data is out of valid range:0~180 day(s).

Change span value

The span calibration preset value can also be changed, the change process is similar with the alarm limit. But the new span will not take effect until user successfully completes a span calibration next time.

* MP100 will show “Err”, if the input data is invalid as follows:

- Span setting is smaller than 5% measuring range or bigger than measuring range.

- For Oxygen sensor, span setting is bigger than 19.0 .

Change display unit

MP100 supports different gas units, to change gas unit, when LCD switches between and , press the Left Key to change gas unit. The supported units for current sensor are all displayed on the LCD, the current selected unit is blinking. Use the

When battery is dead, LCD displays , battery dead alarm will be triggered once every second. User needs to replace the battery.

To replace battery:

1 ） Turn off the MP100.

2 ） Place the MP100 face down on a soft surface.

3 ） Use a T10 Torx screwdriver to loosen each of the four screws by turning them counterclockwise.

4 ） Remove the top cover after carefully unplugging the buzzer connector.

5 ） Slide the battery out of its compartment.

6 ） Place the new battery into the compartment with its “+” end oriented toward the “+” on the

14

MP100 User’s Guide printed circuit board.

7 ） Plug in the buzzer connector and reinstall the top cover.

8 ） Install the screws in back cover. Be careful to not overtighten the screws.

Replace the sensor filter

A “peel-and-stick” filter should be used on the MP100 in order to keep debris from fouling the sensor. Sheets of 5 filters are available. When the filter appears dirty, replace it with a new one and dispose of the dirty filter.

1) Turn off the MP100.

2) Place the MP100 face down on a soft surface.

3) Use a T10 Torx screwdriver to loosen each of the four screws by turning them counterclockwise.

4) Remove the top cover after carefully unplugging the buzzer connector.

5) Peel a filter from the sheet and center it over the sensor. Gently press down.

6) Plug in the buzzer connector and reinstall the top cover.

7) Install the screws in back cover. Be careful to not overtighten the screws.

Replace the sensor

MP100 models are designed so that you can easily change the sensor.

1) Turn off the unit.

2) Place the MP100 face down on a soft surface.

3) Use a T10 Torx screwdriver to loosen each of the four screws by turning them counterclockwise.

4) Remove the top cover after carefully unplugging the buzzer connector.

5) Replace the old sensor with a new one. Make sure the pins are not bent or corroded . Align the pins to the corresponding holes and push the sensor straight in . The sensor should fit flush against the printed circuit board.

6) Plug in the buzzer connector and reinstall the top cover.

7) Install the screws in back cover. Be careful to not overtighten the screws.

Sensors are not interchangeable. Use only mPower sensors, and use only the sensor type specified for your MP100 monitor. Use of non-mPower components will void the warranty and can compromise the safe performance of this product.
