SPM Flex Gas Detector
In-line filters
Use an external filter to protect the tubing and the detector from contamination�
Use particulate filter part number 780248 for non-corrosive gases� Use filter
1991-0147 for corrosive gases� Refer to
Detectable Gases
on page 51 for specific
gases� Filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months of operation, depending on
the cleanliness of the installation environment�
Optional sampling wand
The sampling wand is connected to the inlet port and used to detect toxic gas
at specific locations2� An inlet filter is installed in the grip to prevent debris from
entering the unit� All gas-wet surfaces are either Teflon-coated or made of Kynar
to be compatible with sticky corrosive gases� An appropriate filter should be used
for the gas type being monitored�
The sampling wand is supplied with the mounting bracket and required hardware�

SPM Flex Gas Detector
Operation
• Protection afforded by the SPM Flex gas detector may be impaired if it is
not used according to the manufacturer’s instructions�
• Do not operate two-way radios near the detector�
WARNING
!
Power
Before operation, verify that external power is present (the blue LED will be
on) or that the internal battery is charged (indicated by the icon shown in the
illustration on the following page)� The physical power switch, located under the
Chemcassette access door, should be on� Typically, it is recommended to leave
the physical switch in the on position unless transporting/shipping the unit where
there is a possibility of the detector accidentally being turned on with the soft
power switch�
When the detector’s startup sequence ends, an “In Monitor,” or “Out of Monitor”
display (depending on how it is configured in the Setup menu) will appear,
depending on the mode the detector was in when it was turned off� The default
startup mode can be configured under Power Options (Setup/General)�
Most options will require acknowledgment (i�e�, pressing the Select button)�
Those that don’t will be displayed for 3 seconds� Pressing the Power button
briefly will return the user to the previous screen� Do not power up the detector
with a flash drive attached�
To turn the unit off, hold the Power button for 5 seconds while on the main
display� This will bring up the power off options� Alternately, the power off mode
can be accessed via the menu� The user must have the appropriate security level
to access�
The detector can be used intermittently as long as the Chemcassette cartridge is
removed and stored according to manufacturer’s guidelines�
Controls
The arrows are used to scroll up and down through lists of options, highlighting
one at a time� The select button is used to select a highlighted selection� During
operation, the power button will cancel a command or, when pressed for more
than 3 seconds, will display the main menu�
The Open/Close Gate function (see
Maintenance
on page 46) can be used to
open the gate and remove the cartridge for storage�
The detector provides tactile and visual feedback (clicks and the unit’s LCD
display) to all key presses� The display reflects key presses by illuminating icons
representing each of the buttons�
The blinking green LED indicates that the unit is on� The green LED blink rate is
faster during bootup� The yellow LED indicates a fault; it blinks during instrument

33
SPM Flex Gas Detector
faults and is steady during maintenance faults� The red LED indicates alarms; a
steady light indicates an Alarm 1, a blinking LED indicates and Alarm 2� The blue
LED indicates that the unit is receiving external power�
The concentration level of the gas is displayed with the name of the gas below
the left side of the display and the units of concentration below its right side�
Do not leave the optics gate of fixed units open� Doing so may allow
pressurized gases to escape through the tubing into the unit and then into the
local environment�
CAUTION
!
Time
There is a real-time clock in the header bar� The real-time clock also verifies that
the detector is active�
Audible alarm
The alarm can be configured for high, medium, and low sound levels� The sound
can also be turned off� Low is approximately 75 dB at 1 meter (for office/lab use),
Medium is approximately 85 dB at 1 meter (for light industrial use), and High is
greater than 90 dB at 1 meter (for heavy industrial use)�
Monitoring icons
A round green icon in the lower left of the display indicates that the detector
is on and detecting� “In monitor” is shown next to the icon and the current gas
concentration is displayed� The icon changes to indicate that the detector is out
of monitor mode, or is in a fault or alarm state� Alarms and faults can be present
simultaneously (the alarm will supercede fault notification on the main display
and status bar color)� When the detector is not detecting, “Out of monitor”
is displayed and 4 dashes are shown instead of a gas concentration� When
the detector is out of monitor mode, the status bar will change to blue� When
a gas concentration exceeds the limit, “Over limit” is displayed and the gas
concentration is preceded by the greater-than symbol (“>”)�
Battery
The detector’s battery level is indicated from 0 (fully discharged) to 100%
(fully charged)� The battery icon displays the approximate battery level on the
status bar, while a more accurate value can be found in the Review mode under
Additional Status� If the battery’s charge is too low for safe operation, a “Critically
low battery!” message will be displayed�
Bar graph
The bar graph displays the concentration reading up to double the Alarm 2
value for the gas being monitored� The Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 values are indicated
numerically on the bar graph�

34
SPM Flex Gas Detector
The display can be configured for different backlight and dimming options� By
default the backlight will dim after a few minutes of no activity� The display can
be configured to turn off the backlight entirely after a set period of time�
Inhibit
When the detector is in inhibit mode, it will show a bell icon with a red slash
through it�
1� Use the [Up] or [Down] buttons to select the “Inhibit” on the Maintenance
menu�
2� Press the [Accept] button�
3� The Inhibit Type menu or the Time Out menu can then be selected�
Possible inhibit types are none, alarms only, faults only, alarms and faults,
and all, as shown in the following table)� The Time Out options (the time
until the detector exits inhibit mode and returns to active monitoring) are
from 1 to 60 minutes�
4� To take the unit out of inhibit, select “None” from the Inhibit Type menu and
press the [Accept] button twice to return to the Maintenance menu�
If the inhibit times out before the inhibit state is returned to “none,”
maintenance fault code M17 will be displayed�

38
SPM Flex Gas Detector
system to be optimized with a certain type of Chemcassette cartridge� This
allows the SPM Flex detector to quickly reach the correct flow rate�
Open/close gate
The gate can be opened and closed manually� For intermittent use, this
allows Chemcassette cartridges to be conveniently removed and stored�
Update program
Through the
Update program
option, the new firmware can be loaded via the
USB port�
Factory service mode
For Honeywell Analytics service personnel only�
Setup menu
Many of the functions of the SPM Flex detector can be configured from the
Setup menu�
General
The backlight intensity and timeout period are chosen from this menu as
well� The power-up options are chosen from this menu� The detector can
be programmed to be in monitoring mode or out of monitoring mode when
powered up� It can also be programmed to power up in the state it was in
when it was powered down� (This is the default state�) Finally, if languages
other than English are loaded in the detector’s software, the language can be
chosen from the General menu�
The unit IDs, either short (up to 20 characters) or long (up to 35 characters)
and an idle timeout period of from 1 to 60 minutes (20 minutes default) can
also be entered from the General menu� An idle timeout period of 0 minutes
will disable the idle timeout function�
Monitoring
The available gases are displayed and can be selected from the Gas menu�
Alarms 1 and 2 can be enabled or disabled and their respective setpoints can
be adjusted� The LDL can also be enabled or disabled and user-defined LDL
limits can be entered� The minimum and maximum values for the 4-20 mA full
scale can be entered�
The TWA mode can be set for either a fixed start time or a floating start time
at the TWA menu� The TWA start time can also be entered� The default is
08:00 but another time can be entered by the user� In this case, the detector
will calculate the second time (8 hours later) and third time (16 hours later)�
Before storing the detector following a gas event, purge the flow system by
operating the detector in clean air until it returns to zero� If the case must be
wiped down, install push fittings in the Sample In/Out ports to prevent fluids
from entering the detector�

39
SPM Flex Gas Detector
The detector’s continuous monitoring algorithm enables a fast response
and high sensitivity� It also rapidly indicates trends� However, in some
cases, this algorithm can cause the decay time to be substantial, especially
with gases having slow stain development, specifically low level AsH3 and
GeH4� In the absence of gas, it may be necessary to continue monitoring
for several minutes before zero concentration is reported�
NOTE
Latching
The SPM Flex detector’s alarms and faults can be either latching or non-
latching, depending on the settings on the Latching menu� The default for both
is latching�
Outputs
The detector’s display characteristics (e�g�, brightness, time to dim/time to off)
are set at the Display menu� The volume of the alarms (silent, low, medium,
or high) are chosen from the Audio menu options� Parameters set from the
Relays menu are relay assignments, that alarm relay’s normal state (energized
or de-energized), and the maintenance fault’s normal state (energized or de-
energized)� Three parameters can be set from the 4-20 mA Levels menu: the
inhibit level from 1�5 mA to 3�5 mA (the default is 2�0 mA), the maintenance fault
level from 1�5 mA to 3�5 mA (the default is 3 mA), and the overrange level from
21�0 mA to 22�0 mA (the default is 21�5 mA)� The mA levels are adjusted in 0�5
mA increments�
Network
The Ethernet mode can be set for either auto or manual� In manual mode, the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway can be specified� The Modbus TCP
menu can be enabled or disabled (disabled is the default)�
The web server is not designed for more than ten simultaneous connections�
(Responses will be slower with more connections�)

Authorized Honeywell preventive maintenance
In addition to the standard maintenance schedule performed by the end
user, it is recommended that units are periodically returned to Honeywell for
comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and systems tests� While not required,
users are encouraged to have this service performed every one to three years
depending on usage, site conditions, and gases monitored to help ensure years
of continued smooth operation�
To replace the end-of-the-line filter
Hold down the locking ring on the push fitting, as shown in Figure 24, to release
the filter� Gently press the new filter into the fitting until it locks� An arrow is
printed on the filter to show the gas’s proper direction of flow�

To clean the exterior surfaces
Exterior surfaces of the detector can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with
water or with 6% IPA alcohol wipes�
Storing the detector
When storing the detector with the power adaptor plugged in, the rocker switch
can be left in the on position; the battery will continue charging� The detector can
also be charged with the rocker switch off�
When storing the detector without being plugged into the power adaptor, turn the
rocker switch off� This will minimize the power �� This is the recommended setting
for long-term storage or for transporting the detector� Charge the detector at
least four hours every three months (the rocker switch can remain off)�

Outside of RH range:
2 Tends to have lower response at higher humidities.
3 Tends to increase sensitivity at higher humidities (due to the chemistry of the reaction).
4 Tends to under-report at higher humidities (typically >75% RH) due to the gas characteristics to adhere or decompose on contact with water/moisture. The response seems to be lower but the actual gas concentration under these high
humidity conditions will be lower than expected.
5 Tends to under-report in dry conditions (<25-30% RH).
6 Depending on the combination of temperature and humidity, even within the ranges specified above, a unit’s performance efficiency can be influenced due to condensation, physical tape material changes, or optical changes. Consult
