  • When the sensor is placed in autonomous mode the sensor will beep once.
  • If no commands are given, the sensor will beep twice and begin scanning after 20 secs.
  • To enable the menu functionality in autonomous mode, type MENU within the first 20 secs of power up and the sensor will beep three times.
  • To enable scanning after menu functions are complete, repower the sensor.
  • If MENU instruction has not be given in the first 20 secs the sensor will not respond to any instructions and will continue scanning regardless of any commands given.

Measurement Functions​

INTERVAL​

This function allows you to choose the time (H:MM) between measurement blocks with a minimum of 15 minutes (0:15) and a maximum of 4 hours (4:00).
Should you require continuous measurements, simply enter 0:00.

note

The sensor will go into a low power state during the set interval.

The following will be displayed:

To add Interval Time please enter H:MM [ENTER]

where H(Hours) = 0 to 4
where MM(Minutes) = 15 to 59

With a MINIMUM time of 15 minutes
and a MAXIMUM time of 4 hours

For no Interval enter 0:00

START DELAY​

This function changes the time delay before monitoring starts, with a minimum of 0 minutes (00:00) and a maximum of 24 hours (24:00).

To add Start Delay please enter HH:MM [ENTER]

where HH(Hours) = 00 to 24
where MM(Minutes) = 00 to 59

With a MAXIMUM time of 24 hours

For no Start Delay enter 00:00
