Eagle Instruction Manual Introduction • 1 Introduction Overview The RKI Eagle is the most advanced portable gas detection system available. The Eagle is built for rugged reliability and ease of use and includes the latest innovations in gas detection technology: • Simultaneous detection of one to six gases.
2 • Introduction Eagle Instruction Manual About this Manual This manual is intended for use with all Eagle models. Examples used in this manual are for the standard four-gas model (combustible gas, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide). Differences between the standard four-gas model and other Eagle models are noted where applicable.
Eagle Instruction Manual Specifications • 3 Specifications Table 1 lists physical and environmental specifications for the Eagle. Table 2 lists specifications for the Eagle’s standard sensors.
4 • Specifications Eagle Instruction Manual Table 2 lists specifications for the Eagle’s standard sensors. Your Eagle model may not include all of the sensors listed below. The alarm settings are user-adjustable (see “Updating the Alarm Point Settings” on page 32.
Eagle Instruction Manual Description • 5 Description Case The Eagle has a plastic case with a full-sized handle. The high- visibility case is shielded to reduce radio frequency and electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI). The system is light-weight and balanced, which makes the Eagle easy to carry and use for extended periods.
6 • Description Eagle Instruction Manual Alarm Lights Two ultra-bright, red, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provide visual alarms for gas concentrations and malfunctions. They are mounted on the top rear of the case for greatest visibility. Battery Charger Connector The battery charger connector is mounted on the top right rear of the case.
Eagle Instruction Manual Description • 7 Sensors This section describes the Eagle’s standard sensors. Non-standard sensors are described in Appendices C, D, and E.
8 • Description Eagle Instruction Manual Circuit Boards The Eagle circuit boards analyze, record, control, store, and display the information collected. The analog PCB is mounted perpendicular to the base of the instrument case. It is located in the same half of the case as the sensors and sample-drawing system.
Eagle Instruction Manual Operation • 9 Operation The Eagle has four operating modes: normal operating mode, display mode, setup mode, and calibration mode. This section describes the Eagle in normal operating mode. It includes procedures to start up the Eagle, set various detection options for the combustible gas channel, and shut down the Eagle.
10 • Operation Eagle Instruction Manual The Battery Voltage screen displays the minimum usable and actual battery voltage (for example, 6.0V). If the battery voltage is too low, the Eagle will not continue. NOTE: The following screen only displays if the data logging option is installed.
Eagle Instruction Manual Operation • 11 CAUTION: Do not use gas from a cigarette lighter to test response to combustibles. Exposing the combustible gas sensor to uncontrolled high concentrations of gas will reduce response and sensor life. 4. Verify that the Eagle is operating correctly.
12 • Operation Eagle Instruction Manual Monitoring Combustible Gases Other than Methane If the combustible gas sensor is calibrated to methane (CH 4 ), use Table 4 to determine the concentration of combustible gases other than methane.
Eagle Instruction Manual Operation • 13 Setting User Access The CAL/SETUP switch controls the Eagle functions available to the user. The switch setting does not affect the Eagle’s ability to display gas readings and indicate gas and malfunction alarms.
14 • Alarms Eagle Instruction Manual Alarms Alarm Indications This section describes the Eagle’s audible and visual alarm indications for gas, over range, low flow, low battery, and sensor failure alarms. This section also describes how to reset gas alarms.
Eagle Instruction Manual Alarms • 15 STEL alarm (toxics only) If a toxic gas channel’s average gas reading for the past 15 minutes exceeds the STEL alarm setting: • STEL displays in the alarm field for that channel. • The channel’s display line flashes.
16 • Alarms Eagle Instruction Manual Low flow alarm If the Eagle’s sample system becomes restricted or blocked (for example plugged probe, fouled filter, pinched tubing): • The message FAIL LOW FLOW LEVEL replaces the normal screen. • The buzzer sounds a steady tone.
Eagle Instruction Manual Alarms • 17 Sensor failure alarm and emergency operation The Eagle continuously monitors itself for proper operation. If a malfunction occurs, the Eagle alerts you with audible and visual alarms. If a sensor fails during start-up or normal operation: • The message FAIL SENSOR displays.
