ECOPROBE 5 - rs dynamics

7. CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT
ECOPROBE 5 OTHER FEATURES
Allows continuous operation without any data being logged which gives you fast screening for a gas leak at
the surveyed area.
• To start, select the item CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT in the Main Menu (Window W.2).
• Window W.21 will be opened offering an option START and displaying a default Configuration File that
can be changed to the operator’s specifications.

W. 21 - Continuous Measurement Menu
• Press START for resetting.
• When displayed, confirm Press -> with right handle arrow.
• Continuous measurement will start after a short pre-integration period.
• Press ESC to stop measuring at any time and to return to the Main Menu.
The instrument switches itself off after 15 minutes of operation in the Continuous mode as the analytical
units may become slightly unstable and need to be reset. To continue measuring it is necessary to start
Continuous Measurement again. The measuring cycle starts with resetting which allows the analytical units
to stabilize themselves for the next 15 minutes of operation.
Note: After the instrument has been switched off in the field, the IR unit needs to be stabilized. It is
recommended to measure two “blind” stations (set up “Test locality” in the instrument for making
various test measurements) or use CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT mode for about one minute
before starting to measure again. The operator can thus avoid incorrect readings at the first measured
station.
