The Honeywell EC-P2 is a portable, battery operated instrument for the measurement of gas concentrations in ambient air. The Honeywell EC-P2 can be converted from one target gas to another by simply plugging in a different SMART-CELL for the desired target gas (takes about 30 seconds).
8 days at 1 minute storage interval 2.1 Operating the Sensor The Honeywell EC-P2 is shipped ready for use. To power up the instrument, push the PWR button. The power up sequence displays first the self check, the sensor...
The normal operating screen displays the information as shown in Figure 2. The Honeywell EC-P2 is designed to avoid accidental shut-off of the power. To turn the unit off, the PWR button must be held down for approximately three seconds.
If not, do not use it for field measurements. 2.4 Sample Inlet Port The Honeywell EC-P2 is provided with a quick disconnect flexible extension wand. It will work with or without the wand. When using the extension wand, the internal walls must be kept dry.
2.6 Interference Gases The Honeywell EC-P2 is generally quite specific to the target gas, but depending on the target gas, other gases may cause a reading. See Appendix B for a listing of potential interference gases for the various SMART-CELLs.
3 Maintenance 3.1 Periodic Maintenance It is essential that the test and calibration schedule be adhered to. Honeywell Analytics recommends the following maintenance schedule: • Response test prior to each use. Expose sensor to a sample of the target gas to verify proper sensor response and alarm functions.
The detector does not start: Check to see that a fresh battery is installed. Both the primary and standby batteries must be discharged for this problem to occur. Plug the charger into the Honeywell EC-P2 to charge the standby battery. Wait 10 minutes and retry.

Unit does not respond when keys are pressed: Press and hold all four buttons for five seconds. This will reset the Honeywell EC-P2. Turn the unit back on by pressing the PWR button.
4 Programming and Advanced Features 4.1 Alarm Setpoints, Functions The Honeywell EC-P2 has three adjustable alarm setpoints. These setpoints are stored on each SMART-CELL. The Caution setpoint is to warn of excessive negative zero drift. The WARNING and ALARM setpoints are to warn of potentially dangerous target gas concentrations.
CAUT or ALRM button. 4.2 Display Variables The Honeywell EC-P2 has two adjustable display variables. These variables control signal conditioning of the LCD display. Variables are stored on each SMART-CELL.
Push and hold the unnamed button (second from left) first, then Push and hold the Menu button. Hold both buttons until the screen goes blank (two seconds). Release both buttons and the unit is now in Programming Mode. Honeywell EC-P2 Instruction and Installation Manual...
Microsoft Excel or other popular spreadsheet applications. The EC-P2 will store instantaneous gas values every one, five, 10, or 15 minutes. Multiple sessions can be logged and then downloaded as separate files.
Com port in the Configure Tab, improperly connecting the RS-232 cable, or not turning on the Honeywell EC-P2. When you are ready to transfer data from the Honeywell EC-P2 to your PC, click on “get data” and the files will be downloaded to your computer. Note the file names in the destination window so you can locate the files.
The display will always cover the entire operating range of the SMART-CELL. Changing the range can affect the display resolution for some SMART-CELLs. Changing the full scale range on EC-P2: To Enter RANGE Mode Push power button to turn unit on. Wait for power up sequence to finish (30 seconds).
