2 Operation
A Operating the Sensor
Figure 2: Normal Operating Screen
The Manning EC-P2 is shipped ready for use. To
power up the instrument, push the PWR button. The
power up sequence displays first the self check, the
sensor full scale value, the downscale caution level,
warning concentration setpoint, alarm concentration
setpoint, output ranges, software version, then the
normal operating screen.
The unit will then display the instantaneous gas
concentration and is ready for use.
The normal operating screen displays the information
as shown in Figure 2.
The Manning EC-P2 is designed to avoid accidental
shut-off of the power. To turn the unit off, the PWR
button must be held down for approximately three
seconds. Release the button after the “Power Down”
message appears.
B Changing the Target Gas
using SMART-CELL
Technology
The Manning EC-P2 can easily be changed to sense
another target gas by installing the SMART-CELL for
the desired target gas. Each SMART-CELL contains
all the calibration and alarm setpoint information on
its internal memory chip, so recalibration or
reprogramming is not necessary when changing the
Manning EC-P2 from one gas to another. This
procedure can be performed with the unit powered
on or off (see Figure 3).
1) Unscrew the two stainless steel thumbscrews
and remove the black inlet / outlet manifold lid
from the back of the unit.
2) To remove the existing SMART-CELL, grip the
sides of the cell and pull it straight out.
3) Install the desired SMART-CELL by gently
inserting it into the socket. Notice that the
SMART-CELL is keyed so it cannot be inserted
incorrectly.
4) Replace the manifold and hand tighten the
thumbscrews.
5) Verify proper flow through the sampling wand
using the flowmeter provided.
Extra SMART-CELLS should be kept on the
optional sensor keeper when not in use to
keep them “warmed up” and ready for immediate
use. The sensor keeper is powered by an Alkaline
“C” size battery which should be replaced every 6
months.
For a variety of target gases, see page
15 for a list of
available SMART-CELLs. Contact Honeywell Analytics
if the desired target gas is not listed, as new cells may
be available.
