Settings Menus
A menu system is used to organize instrument settings by topic. This allows the safety specialist to first
choose the menu (topic) of interest, such as alarms, then review and optionally "edit" (adjust) each
available setting within that menu. Table 4.1 summarizes the settings that are available in each menu.

Menu number and topic Settings summary
1.0 Maintenance A primary purpose of the maintenance menu is to provide the safety specialist with
access to maintenance procedures (utilities). Menu options also include NFC and
Bluetooth settings, which are needed for an instrument that will use iAssign®
accessories or will send instrument data to the iNet Now Sync App, respectively.
2.0 Start-up These settings allow the safety specialist to permit or prohibit all-user access, from
the startup sequence, to various functions and assignments. Access is set
separately for each item.
3.0 Operation The operation menu allows the safety specialist to permit or prohibit—during
instrument operation—all-user access to utilities and maintenance status
information. Access is set separately for each item. From here, the specialist can
also permit or prohibit the use of iAssign tags during instrument operation.
4.0 Alarm Alarm settings allow the safety specialist to set the values for each gas event that
will cause the instrument to alarm.
The specialist can also permit or prohibit instrument power off during alarms and
make other choices about alarm- and warning-related instrument behavior.
5.0 Sensor Sensor settings allow the safety specialist to view basic information about the
installed sensors and control settings related to calibration and bump test utilities.
6.0 Admin
(Administration)
Admin settings allow the safety specialist to control important aspects about how
the instrument communicates with its operator. For example, a security code can
be set to help restrict all-user access to settings.
The safety specialist can also set the display-screen language, maintenance-
related warnings, and other items.
7.0 Wireless Wireless settings allow the safety specialist to turn on or off LENS Wireless and to
choose settings for LENS' group-related warnings and data encryption.
The specialist can also make choices about the instrument’s iNet related and wi-fi
battery settings.
Examples for Working in Settings
Two examples are provided below to illustrate how to navigate in and adjust settings.
Each example includes a goal, a target setting that is to be changed; the navigation path that leads to the
target setting; and instruction to change the target setting.
Example 1 features a single-item setting—a setting that has a value of “on” or “off”.
Example 2 features a multi-item setting where the value for each of several items can be changed—one
item at a time.
