General Information

The UNI (MP100) is a single sensor, portable, personal toxic gas monitor. It displays gas concentration continuously on a big segment LCD. It also monitors the STEL, TWA, Peak and Minimum (for O2 only) values, and these can be displayed on demand. High, Low, STEL and TWA alarm thresholds are configurable. The shell is made of high strength, durable material. The two- key operation is simple to use. Sensor and battery can be replaced easily. Calibration is also very convenient.

Operation

Turning the Unit On and Off
Press and hold the Right Key for 3 seconds, until the red light, buzzer, and vibrator all trigger, followed by the green light, and the LCD displays “On”. To turn off, press and hold the Right Key from normal display mode for a 5-second count-down, until the unit displays “Off”.
Warm-up Sequence
After powering on, the unit enters a warm up and self-test sequence, shows the firmware version as follows:

  • If the sensor cannot be identified or is not installed, the screen alternately displays
  • If the Bump or Cal Due setting is enabled and the due date has passed, the display will alternate between or and . The Left Key must be pressed to acknowledge, otherwise the instrument will turn itself off automatically after 15s.

Lastly, the following values will be shown accordingly:

  • High alarm threshold
  • Low alarm threshold
  • STEL (short-term exposure limit) alarm threshold
  • TWA (8-hour time-weighted average) alarm threshold

Normal User Mode

Real-Time Readings When warm-up is complete, the unit enters normal mode and starts displaying instantaneous gas concentrations. By pressing the Right Key the user can check other values including STEL,TWA, PEAK, MIN (for O2 only) and Alarm Log. The display returns to real time readings from any other screen if there is no key action for 60 seconds.

STEL This displays the Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) calculation, which is the average concentration in a moving window over the previous 15 minutes. The STEL value rises and falls with some lag time over the instantaneous reading. A STEL alarm cannot be cleared except by turning the unit off and back on, but will clear automatically after 15 minutes in clean air.
TWO This displays the Time-Weighted Average (TWA) calculation, which is the average concentration times the fraction of 8 hours that the instrument has been on. The TWA value is similar to a dose in that it rises but never falls, until it is reset by turning the unit off. Likewise, a TWA alarm cannot be cleared except by turning the unit off and back on.

Peak The Peak screen shows the highest value since the unit was turned on.Press the Left Key to enter the Clear Peak screen and Press the Left Key again to acknowledge and clear the Peak value.
Minimum (Oxygen Sensor Only) The Minimum screen is used for the oxygen sensor only and shows the lowest value since the unit was turned on. Press the Left Key to enter the Clear Min screen and Press the Left Key again to acknowledge and clear the Min value.

Alarm Log Up to 50 alarm events lasting ≥5 seconds are logged into memory and the last 10 such events can be viewed on the instrument. When A 1 is reached using the Right Key, it  flashes between the A 1 screen and a screen showing the alarm concentration and type. Values preceded by a “–” with no alarm label indicate a negative concentration alarm event. Use the Left Key to cycle through the 10 available alarms. To view all 50 alarm events along with date and time stamps, it is necessary to use a Docking Box or CaliCase connected to a computer with mPower Suite software.

Configuration Mode
In Config mode, the user can change parameters and calibrate the unit. In general, use the Left Key to increase the number or confirm an operation, and use the Right Key to move the cursor or go to the next menu item.
Entering and Exiting Config Mode
Press and hold the Left Key and the Right Key together for 3 seconds until the password screen is displayed, followed by , one digit or cursor flashing, to prompt the user to enter the password. The default password is 0000. Use the Left Key to increase the number, the Right Key to move the cursor, and the Left “OK” Key again to accept the password input and enter Config mode. If the digit input is incorrect, use the Right Key to move the cursor and the Left Key to change the input.
NOTE: The MP100 default password is 0000. To exit Config Mode, press the Right Key until is displayed, and acknowledge with the Left Key to return to Normal Mode. Alternatively, just wait for one minute and the unit will automatically revert to Normal Mode.
Sensor Calibration and Bump Test
Before the unit can monitor gas correctly, it needs to be calibrated using zero and span gas. Calibration and Bump Tests are recorded in the instrument datalog for compliance purposes.
Zero (Fresh Air) Calibration
Zero calibration sets the baseline for the sensor. It is preferably done in the fresh air at the same ambient temperature and humidity as will be used for measurements. However, nitrogen, dry cylinder air, or other gas source is known to be free of detectable compounds can also be used. One exception is that for an oxygen (O2) sensor the Fresh Air Calibration sets the value to 20.9%, so air must be used. From the menu, press the Left Key to start a zero calibration. The unit displays a 15-second countdown followed by the calibration result as either-or. The user can abort the zero calibration during the count-down by pressing the Right Key, after which is displayed.

Span Calibration
Span calibration determines the sensitivity of the sensor to the gas. Recommended calibration gases and concentrations are listed in Section 7.6 at the end of this manual and in TA Note 4 (available at www.mpowerinc.com). Special calibration procedures for highly reactive gases are described in TA Note 6. Oxygen sensor calibration is reversed from other sensors and uses pure nitrogen with 0% oxygen during the span procedure and 20.9% oxygen (air) during the fresh air “zero” procedure. We recommend using a fixed flow regulator of at least 0.3 LPM but no more than 0.6 LPM. Use as short tubing connections as possible.
Span Calibration Procedure

  1. Connect the Calibration Adapter to the span gas cylinder’s regulator and snap it into place over the UNI sensor.mPower Electronics MP100 Single-Gas Detectors-FIG2
  2. Enter the menu, start the gas flow, and press the Left Key to start the calibration count-down. The calibration time is typically 60 seconds but may be shorter or longer depending on the sensor type.
  3. To abort the span calibration during count-down, press the Right Key, and is displayed.
  4. After the count-down, the span calibration result or is displayed.
  5. Turn off the gas supply and remove the Calibration Adapter.

CAUTION

During normal monitoring, never operate the MP100 with the Calibration Adaptor attached because it will block diffusion of gas into the sensor.

Bump Test
A Bump Test is a quick check to ensure that the sensor and alarms are working properly. It is done with the same gas as is used for span calibration. Enter the menu, start the gas flow, then press the Left Key to start bump count-down (typically 45 seconds, but varies with sensor). After count-down, the bump test result or is displayed. To abort the bump test during count-down, press the Right Key and is displayed. Although a Bump Test is a recorded event in the datalog, the user can always do an unrecorded bump check such as by breathing into an oxygen monitor just to verify that the sensor and alarms are functioning.

Setting Instrument Configurations

Alarm Limits
MP100 toxic gas monitors alarm with 2 beeps & flashes per second when concentrations are over the Low Alarm setpoint, and 3 beeps & flashes per second when over the High Alarm setpoint. See Section 7.5 for a summary of alarm signals and Section 4.6.2 for Oxygen Monitor alarms. All the preset alarm limits, HIGH, LOW, STEL & TWA can be changed. From these menus  mPower
Electronics MP100 Single-Gas Detectors-FIG8

and , press the Left Key to change the corresponding alarm limit, using the same process as for entering a password (Section 4.4.1):
The current setting value is displayed, with the first digit flashing: mPower Electronics MP100 Single-Gas Detectors-FIG9

  • Use the Left Key to increase the current digit, cycling from 0 to 9:
  • Use the Right Key to move the cursor to the next digit:
  • After all digits are entered, use the Right Key to move to the “OK” symbol, and press the Left Key to save the entry. The unit will display SAVE for a few seconds while storing the value; it is not necessary to press OK to initiate saving.

NOTE: The MP100 will show an error message “Err” if:

  • The Low alarm is attempted to be set higher than the high alarm setting.
  • The High alarm is attempted to be set lower than the low alarm setting.
  • The entered value is outside the measuring range.

Oxygen Monitors
Standard Oxygen Monitors: Oxygen monitor alarms function differently than toxic gas montior alarms in that the normal ambient air reading is 20.9% and an alarm is triggered when the reading goes BELOW the Low alarm setpoint or ABOVE the High Alarm setpoint. Oxygen monitors do not have STEL or TWA alarms.
Inert Oxygen Monitors: Oxygen monitors programmed for inert gas applications do not alarm when the O2 concentrations are below the Low Alarm setpoint or above 19.5%. They give a Low Alarm (2 beeps/sec) when between the Low and High Alarm setpoints and a High Alarm (3 beeps/sec) when between the High Alarm setpoint and 19.5%. The default Low and High alarm setpoints are 4% and 5%, respectively, but can be adjusted, while the 19.5% limit is fixed. Thus, this version is useful both for oxygen deficiency monitoring in normal ambient air when users do not wear a breathing apparatus, and in inert gas environments, where breathing apparati are required, to warn of high oxygen levels that may allow explosion to occur.

Span Value
The span gas concentration can be changed from the Cal SET menu using the same process as for setting alarm limits.
NOTE: The MP100 will show an error message “Err” if:

  • The Span setting is less than 5% of the measuring range or greater than the measuring range.
  • For the Oxygen sensor, the span setting is greater than 19.0%.

Bump/Cal Intervals

In the Bump and Cal Interval menus, the LCD alternates between: Press the Left Key to enter the menu and change the interval using the same process as for setting alarm limits. Note that a value of 0 means Bump or Cal notifications are turned off.
The MP100 will show “Err” if the interval is out of the valid range: 0-180 day(s).
Gas Concentration Unit
The gas concentration unit menu alternates between and . Press the Left Key to enter the gas unit sub-menu, showing the currently selected unit blinking. Unit options include x10-6, ppm, mg/m3 and µmol/mol for toxic gas sensors, and % for oxygen. Use the Right Key to scroll through the unit list and select, and the Left Key to confirm and exit.

Vibrator Enable/Disable
The vibrator consumes a lot of power and can be disabled to extend the battery life. The Vibrator menu alternates between and Press the Left Key to change the vibrator enable/disable status. The current vibrator status is displayed, alternating between if enabled, or between and status, and use the Left Key to confirm and exit

Power-on Zero Enable/Disable

The sensor baseline may shift due to changes in environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity, and require a zero calibration. The MP100 can prompt the user to zero calibrate every time the unit is powered on, and this feature can be enabled/disabled. The Power-on Zero menu alternates between and. Press the Left Key to change the power-on zero enable/disable status. The current status is displayed, alternating between and if enabled, or and if disabled. Use the Right Key to change the status, and the Left Key to confirm and exit. When the unit is re-started and the user is prompted with to zero, it must be initiated within 30 s or else the zeroing is skipped.

Fast Power-on Enable/Disable
If fast startup is enabled, the screens showing HIGH/LOW/STEL/TWA alarm threshold values will be skipped during warm-up sequence. On start-up, the unit shows the firmware version number and then goes directly to concentration readings. The fast power-on menu alternates between and . Press the Left Key to change the
fast startup enable/disable status. Enable or disable Fast Power-on and confirm the status using the same process as for Vibration Alarm or Power-on Zero enable/disable.
Configuration Reset
If some unit parameters are incorrect and the user has difficulty correcting them, this menu can be used to set the all the configuration parameters back to the factory default condition. From the (reset) menu. Then press the Left Key to confirm or the Right Key to abort the reset.
