User Preferences

All of the parameters and options can be configured using the Safety Suite Device Configurator
desktop application. An IntelliDox docking station is required to connect a BW Flex Series
detector to SSDC. The BW Flex Series communicates with an IntelliDox using infrared signals,
and the IntelliDox is connected to the SSDC computer via a USB or network cable. For more
information, refer to the IntelliDox manual and Safety Suite Device Configurator manual.
Sensor Options
As for each sensor, these parameters and options are available.
Auto Zero:
l
If enabled, the detector will perform Zero Calibration at start-up. Disabled is the default value.
TWA Method:
l
This option is to choose the algorithm between ACGIH and OSHA.
Inert Mode:
l
It is used to switch the work mode of the Oxygen sensor. Normal mode is for the
atmospheric environment, and the zero reading is between low and high alarm. The Inert
mode is for an anaerobic environment, and the zero reading is below the Low Alarm. Normal
mode is the default value.
ATEX Performance Compliance:
l
If enabled, the blanking zone will be disabled, and the minus reading will be display. Disabled
is the default value.
Low Alarm Acknowledge:
l
If enabled, the audible alarm can be disabled during a Low Alarm. The vibration, visual
indication, and LCD remain enabled. It applies for H
Cal / Bump Countdown:
l
This countdown is an indication before calibration due. Users can customize how many days
before calibration due to start this indication. Disabled is the default value.
Bump Threshold:
l
The bump Threshold is the percentage of calibration gas needed to get detected in the bump
test.
Predictive calibration %:
l
It is an Intelligent EC sensor function. For the predictive calibration, a calculation taking
historical measurements such as the temperature, electrolyte concentration, sensitivity,
accuracy, and time is considered. Users can set the threshold of sensitivity attenuation for
the predictive calibration. 20% is the default value.
Sensor Disabled:
l
Disable an unnecessary gas sensor.
Calibration Gas Conc:
l
Define the gas concentration for calibration.
Low Alarm:
l
Define the threshold at which a low-level alarm is triggered.
High Alarm:
l
Define the threshold at which a high-level alarm is triggered.
BW Flex Series
S, CO, and LEL sensors only.
