XD One_User manual_P5644.1601_Rev C

The XD One has four user-selectable operating modes for use in varying environments and reporting requirements.
· Normal (default)
· In-cab
· Data log
· Live data
12.1 Power management
Normal’ mode captures and records data at a specified logging interval, allowing the XD One to provide real-time warnings and alarms on changing particulate levels. Normal’ mode is intended for use when the XD One is used to monitor individual exposure to particulate levels within a working environment.
When configured to Normal’ mode and connected via USB interfaces, the XD One will power down its particulate sensor to allow for faster charging and data download. Normal’ mode is indicated through the flashing of the battery indication symbol during normal operation.
The use of the XD One in `Normal’ mode allows for both real-time alerts and data capture to take place simultaneously. Warning alarms can be set against a single PM value; however the XD One will log sensor data for the following sizes for offline review.
· PM1.0
· PM2.5
· PM4.25
· PM10.0
The XD One also records the TSP measurement for all particulates that have passed through the sensor during its operational period. This includes particulates between the size range of 0.35 µm and 40 µm.
During Normal operation mode, the XD One will record data for all PM values at the specified log rate for download and offline analysis. When recording PM readings to the internal memory, the XD One will log the maximum value for each size at the specified logging interval.

13. ALARM WARNINGS AND CALCULATIONS

XD One_User manual_P5644.1601_Rev C

The XD One uses two LED icons alongside audio sequences to alert users to changing levels of airborne particulates as highlighted below.

If a threshold is breached during operation, the following alarm sequence is used to alert users.
Icon 1′: Short-term exposure limit (STEL) alarm The XD One will flash the amber STEL icon alongside an audible alarm (two beeps per second). Icon 2′: Long-term exposure limit/time-weighted average (TWA) alarm
The XD One will flash the red TWA icon alongside an audible alarm (three beeps per second).
In the event that both alarms are triggered simultaneously, the TWA alarm will take priority.
Note: The XD One is factory programmed with the following default STEL and long-term exposure limit/TWA alarm warning thresholds:
· STEL alarm warning threshold ­ 1,000 µm/m³ over 15 minutes
· TWA alarm warning threshold ­ 1,000 µm/m³ over 8 hours
The default threshold limits have been defined based on a quarter of the permissible limit for most respirable dusts as outlined in the EH40/2005 guidelines.

34

XD ONE USER MANUAL

XD One_User manual_P5644.1601_Rev C

Advice outlined in EH40/2005 states that where no specific STEL is listed, a figure three times that of long-term exposure limit should be used. However, always refer to local guidelines and legislation to ensure that alarm warning thresholds are set at appropriate and permissible values for the intended operating environment.

13.2 Alarm acknowledgement
In the event that a warning alarm is triggered, the XD One will auto-latch to ensure that a conscious action is made to acknowledge the warning. During alarm state, users can acknowledge triggered alarms which will silence the audio alarm; however, the LED warning indication will remain illuminated (solid) to indicate the alarm conditions are still present.

At the point of particulate levels decreasing below the permissible threshold (95%) of the alarm set point, the alarm will reset and the illuminated LED will switch off.

35

XD One_User manual_P5644.1601_Rev C
To acknowledge a latched alarm, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds then release after which the XD One will confirm with an LED sequence: scrolling illumination of alarm colour, followed by a scrolling green sequence.
Note: If an alarm is not acknowledged by the user, the XD One will remain latched with the illuminated LED and audio warning indefinitely.
The XD One device will only re-alarm on increasing or continued particulate levels above the permissible threshold, after the original alarm has been user acknowledged and self-cleared.
