Device Overview

The ARA is a portable, single gas detector. These devices are disposable and will operate for 2 years without any replacement of components, to detect the presence of specific toxic gases or depleted/enriched Oxygen.

There are 4 single gas detector options:

Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S)
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
Oxygen (O2)

For ease of use, the ARA is single button operation. Ensure the manual is fully understood before using the ARA.

Device overview

Diagram 1 below shows the key components of the product.

Activating ARA

To activate ARA within the validity period indicated on the packaging, press and hold down the button for approximately 5 seconds.
On activation, ARA will sound an audible alarm, flash and vibrate in sequence.
A successful activation will display the life remaining (24 months) or the reading value.

Display (LCD and Symbols)

Ara uses an LCD display to show its status. In the absence of gas, it will display the life remaining. When gas is present, the display will automatically shift to show what the gas concentration is.
NOTE: The display mode can be changed in the IR Link software with the “Life Remaining” and “Sensor Reading” user options.
WARNING: If the display is missing icons or displayed figures can’t be read, please contact ION Science promptly.
Image above shows all the icons on ARA.
The table below shows the symbols and their meanings.

Self-Test

Prior to daily use, it is recommended that users perform a self-test to ensure ARA awareness alarms (audio, visual and vibration) and all segments of the display screen are functioning correctly.
Below is a step-by-step process for performing the test:

STEP 4

When the self-test is successful, one short audible beep will sound, the unit will then turn to the original screen.

NOTES:

Self-test can be performed with the IR Link when the sensor icon isn’t blinking after 1 hour from self-test.
The self-test interval reminder can be defined by the user from 8 to 168 hours (7 days) via the IR Link software.
The factory default setting is 20 hours.
After pressing the button, the unit will perform the following sequence:
The right and left side LEDs light up after emitting audible beep and vibration.
All LCD display icons appear.

STEP 3

LOW and HIGH alarm set points will be displayed.
When LOW and HIGH alarm set points are displayed, the unit will perform STEP 2 if you press the button.
If the unit fails the self-test, a warning icon will appear and the sensor type icon will start to blink. The unit will then wait for the self-test to be repeated.
If unsuccessful following a few attempts, do not use the instrument and contact ION Science.

User ID Display

If programmed with a “User ID” via the IR Link, the image below will appear on the screen. The “User ID” consists of up to 6 digits and alphabetic characters. If this has 6 characters, it will show 3 characters across 2 screens.

Peak Reading Display

If an ARA has been exposed to a gas concentration that exceeds the LOW or HIGH alarm set points, the detector will display the “max” icon.
If the “max” icon is displayed, the peak (maximum) value will be displayed as shown below.
To determine the max peak value detected by the ARA, press the button.
The screen will then automatically scroll to display the LOW Alarm setting, HIGH Alarm setting, maximum peak value, elapsed time since peak reading was detected (in hours, days and months) and finally, the option to clear peak reading and reset to zero (0 ppm for toxic sensors and 20.9% for Oxygen sensor).
If the user presses the button down while the CLP (clear peak) is displayed, the peak value on the detector will be reset and the “max ” icon will not be displayed.

Bump Test Display

If the ARA has been programmed to remind the user to perform a bump test, the bump test icon ( ), will appear on the screen and blink.
After pressing the button, the units screen will indicate that its ready for a bump test. For the detailed process of the bump test, please follow the instructions found in “Bump test Procedure”.

User guidelines

Please ensure self-test has been completed before use. This is to confirm the functions of the display, audio, visual and vibration alarm are all working.
In normal running mode, the unit will automatically detect gas and alert the user when the concentration of gas goes above the set threshold.
For safety, wear the detector close to the user’s breathing zone.
WARNING: Ignorance or failure to notice the alarm can lead to serious injury or death.

The bump test interval can be changed by the user (via the IR-Link). The interval can be set from 1 to 365 days.
To deactivate this reminder, set the interval to zero.
NOTE: The factory default is set to zero therefore the bump test is deactivated.
NOTE: We recommend bump testing prior to each use to verify the sensor responds to gas.
If the detector needs bump-testing, the icon ( ) on the bottom right-hand side of the screen will be blinking. The top/right and top/left LEDs will also start to flash alternately at intervals of 32 seconds.

To conduct a manual bump test the following equipment will be required.

Ara calibration cap (included with each Ara)
Appropriate calibration gas
Manual Fixed flow regulator Ion Science recommend 0.3L/min (Alternative 0.5L/min)
A suitable length of tubing to connect the calibration cap to the fixed flow regulator (eg Tygon)

To conduct a bump test, press the button once and wait until the screen displays .
Connect the calibration cap to the sensor inlet (a click can be heard to indicate its seated correctly) then apply the relevant gas for several seconds until the display changes from to displaying the actual gas concentration or life remaining. This indicates a successful bump test. The bump test icon ( ) will no longer be displayed. Switch off the fixed flow regulator and disconnect the calibration cap. The ARA is now ready for use.
NOTE: If the button is pressed and the instrument is not exposed to gas it will time out after 45 seconds and revert back to displaying the default screen along with bump test flashing icon ( ) reminder. This alarm will be logged as an event and stored in the ARA.

Zeroing the O2 ARA

The ARA O2 detector factory default settings will remind the user to perform a fresh air zero every 30 days.
The user will be prompted by the screen blinking , please see zeroing instructions below.
If the detector is due a fresh air zero, the screen display will alternate between and 20.9% (if display set to sensor reading) or and Life Remaining (if display set to life remaining)

How to zero the Oxygen sensor

IMPORTANT: Ensure you are in a clean fresh air environment
When prompted with the screen, press and hold the button for approximately 5 seconds. A successfulzero is indicated when the message disappears, and the default screen is displayed.
If this procedure fails, the detector will continuously sound the audio alarm and the LEDs will turn on and off, If this happens, please contact ION Science.
NOTE: The Calibration Interval for the Oxygen ARA refers to the frequency of Zeroing. For the remaining ARA versions, this means SPAN calibration frequency

Calibration procedure

When an ARA is due for a calibration, the message will appear on the screen.
IMPORTANT: Ensure you are in a clean fresh air environment.
To conduct a manual calibration the following equipment will be required.
ARA calibration cap (included with each ARA)
Appropriate calibration gas
Manual Fixed flow regulator ION Science recommend 0.3L/min (Alternative 0.5L/min)
A suitable length of tubing to connect the calibration cap to the fixed flow regulator (eg Tygon)
ARA IR Link (p/n 908201)
The ARA software V2.0.0.10 is required, go to www.ionscience.com to download a free copy.
Load the ARA IR LINK software by double clicking on the ICON.
Position the ARA in front of the IR Link. When the ARA is in position, click ‘Read Device’.
The settings will be retrieved from the device and displayed within the software.
Attach the regulator, tubing and calibration cap to the cylinder so it’s ready for use.
Click ‘Sensor Calibration’ (a new window will pop-up)
NOTE: Ensure that the Span value is the same as the calibration gas concentration. If not use the Up/Down arrows to adjust (refer to the label on calibration gas cylinder)
IMPORTANT: Ensure you are in a clean fresh air environment.
Click Calibration, a zero is then established (very quickly).
At this point click the calibration cap onto the sensor inlet port then open the valve on the manual fixed flow regulator.
The screen on the ARA will then display C90 and begin counting down C89, C88 etc for approximately 20 seconds for the Oxygen ARA and 90 seconds for the other versions
NOTE: If its position is moved away from the IR Link after C90 countdown starts, the ARA will still continue to calibrate but the IR software will not acknowledge a pass or fail calibration. Ideally, the ARA needs to be aligned with the IR Link during the complete calibration procedure.
NOTE: If no gas is connected within approximately 45 seconds, the calibration procedure will fail and display the below message.

Hibernation Mode

This option is only for hibernation models (CO & H2S). These models can be powered down (hibernated) to suspend the operation and extend operational life. Hibernation models display 24 months upon activation from new. This period remains in place until the ARA has exceeded 12 months of accumulated hibernation.
ION Science cannot guarantee the product after the warranty of 3 years.

To switch over to the hibernation mode, please follow the instructions below:

Position the ARA in front of the IR Link
Click on the hibernation button, the detector will then go into hibernation

To differentiate the different models, the hibernation option models have two coloured lines on the label whereas normal models have one thicker line. (See front cover for normal model image)

NOTES:

The event log will be cleared when the detector is hibernated. It is highly recommended to save event logs before hibernation.
To re-activate the detector from hibernation status, press and hold the button for approximately 5 seconds.
When the detector is in hibernation, it is powered down, the screen will be blank and will not detect any gases.
