SETTING <strong>ECOPROBE</strong> 5 BEFORE STARTING TO MEASURE<br />

Use ► on the item GRID to switch from STANDARD to the GPS Logging option.<br />

GPS logging: This advanced parameter allows GPS coordinates to be introduced automatically. The<br />

coordinates of any location are obtained from an external GPS receiver. The operator just moves over the site<br />

while taking measurements without any reference to a grid pattern. All data are saved according to GPS<br />

coordinates (latitude, longitude) to create a data spreadsheet for the fast 3-D interpretation.<br />

GPS logging is optional and requires purchasing software upgrade and one of GPS receive<strong>rs</strong> provided by<br />

RS DYNAMICS Ltd. It is also possible to use various GPS receive<strong>rs</strong> available on the market. These<br />

receive<strong>rs</strong> must be adapted by RS DYNAMICS Ltd. for <strong>ECOPROBE</strong> 5 technical specifications.<br />

For more details about GPS logging and receive<strong>rs</strong> see Chapter 5.<br />

Note: The <strong>ECOPROBE</strong> 5 automatically creates a data spreadsheet from all data which are<br />

saved according the X and Y coordinates. Graphic software Surfer can directly use the<br />

spreadsheet for obtaining contour and wire-frame maps of contamination.<br />

3.3 GROUP MEASUREMENT<br />

This parameter enables you to decide if the measurement will be performed with or without resetting.<br />

Resetting procedure is described on the next page.<br />

NO is used for a standard survey. Resetting cycle is performed automatically before each<br />

measurement using ambient fresh air. This mode is suitable for most environments.<br />

YES is used when measuring in a contaminated atmosphere. For example in a contaminated<br />

factory or refinery where it is not possible to get fresh air for resetting, or when using <strong>ECOPROBE</strong> 5 as a<br />

monitoring station without a special valve enabling the instrument to switch to the fresh air. The instrument<br />

can perform a resetting cycle only when pressing the RUN button on the instrument’s front when the notice<br />

AUTOCALIBRATION appea<strong>rs</strong> on the display panel (before the “WARMING UP and MEASURING period).<br />

The instrument may be beeping. Release the RUN button when WARMING UP message is displayed.<br />

In this case ambient fresh air must be used for resetting. Move to outside the building, far from the polluted<br />

air or use a calibration bag with fresh air. At the start of a day’s survey, reset the instrument using the above<br />

mentioned procedure (using the RUN button) for proper setting of the instrument. If possible, repeat the<br />

resetting several times during the day to ensure better stability and accuracy of the instrument reading.<br />

3.4 PUMP SPEED<br />

Enables you to select the speed of the pump and<br />

therefore the amount of air to be analyzed during the<br />

measuring cycle. A higher speed may be selected for<br />

instance in a poor permeable soil environment.<br />

� ► Opens a menu with a selection of<br />

pump speeds ranging from 0.25 to 4.0 l/min<br />

(Window W. 8). The recommended value for<br />

general survey is 1.0 l/min or 1.25 l/min.<br />

� Use ▲/▼ to select a speed.<br />

� ► Confirms /stores the selected value and<br />

returns to the Default Configuration File.<br />
