5.3.1 Install software for data transfer

Install the IRwin App software on your computer.

More complete information about supporting software can be found in separate documents.

5.3.2 Pairing the leak detector with computer via Bluetooth interface

Set IRwin in one of the following operating modes: Bar Hole, Gas Purity, House, Above Ground andConfined Space. Bluetooth is active in all these modes.

Make sure IRwin App is installed on your computer. Make sure Bluetooth is activated on your computer.

Establish a Bluetooth connection. Refer to the instructions on your computer.When searching for your detector on the computer, locate the correct serial number of your detector and select that device on the computer. Some computers will prompt you to acknowledge that a connection "password" has been correctly transferred to the detector. You must confirm this on both computer and detector.

Start the program IRwin App on your computer.

In the IRwin App on your computer, Click Connection (menu item) > Port and select your detector.

Data Transfer/Bluetooth

The serial number of the leak detector is displayed in the drop down menu. Select "Connect" on the menu bar in IRwin App.

Click "Start Streaming" on the menu bar of IRwin App.

5.3.3 Transfer log files from leak detector to computer

You have installed IRwin App software on your computer.

You have recorded at least one log fil in your detector. You have activated the Bluetooth interface on your computer.

Switch on the leak detector

Perform self-test.

Make sure IRwin is not in Ex or ExTox mode. Bluetooth is active in all other modes.

> > Data output > Files (Tab)

Start IRwin App on your computer

Select the serial number of your detector in “Port” drop down menu. If not found, check setting of Bluetooth interface and repeat paring sequence if necessary.

Click “Connect” in IRwin App.

Select tab “File” in the graphic window in IRwin App.

Select the file to transfer. You can only transfer one file at the time.

Click “Download File” in IRwin App.

IRwin App will confirm when file is transferred.

To delete a file, select the file in the IRwin App and click “Delete File”. Re-enter the file list in IRwin to

confirm that the file is deleted.

NOTICE

Avoid transferring files while performing a GC Ethane Analysis as this can severely affect the GC analysis.

5.3.4 Real-time streaming from leak detector to computer

You have installed IRwin App software on your computer.

WARNING

Explosion hazard

The equipment for charging IRwin is not ATEX certified/ex-protected.

► Never charge IRwin (all models) in potentially explosive atmospheres.

WARNING

Using the wrong charger could damage the explosion protection of IRwinSXnn models.

The only equipment allowed to be connected to the Charging socket of any of theIRwin SXnn models is the Ex Certified IRwin Charging Adapter. Connect this adapterto the leak detector first and then connect the charger or car cable to the adapter.

NOTICE

Fast charging reduces the lifetime of the battery.

► Do not use fast charging regularly.

► The ambient temperature during the charging process should be between 10 and30 °C.

Charging the Battery

19

Accessories for charging IRwin S from serial #929000725

Charger for IRwin S, 100-240V Certified IRwin Charging Adapter

Extension Cable

Switch off your IRwin unit.

Connect the “Certified IRwin Charging Adapter (580-604)“ to the charging inlet of the IRwin. Align the red markings of the charging socket and charging plug to each other.

Connect the "Charger for IRwin S models, 100-240V (580-605)" or "Charger cable for car (591-361)" to the “Certified IRwin Charging Adapter (580-604)".

Plug the extension cable into the charger and connect to outlet.

The status LED is green when battery is charging normally. The status LED goes out when charging iscompleted.

Charging IRwin S from serial number 929000705

Charging cables should be attached in the order represented in this image.

Fast Charging IRwin S

► When the signal LED is green and indicating normal charge, press the upper rightbutton.

The detector is now charging fast and the status LED turns cyan.

Normal Fast charge

100% 4 h from empty to fullcharge produces 9.5 hoperation time

3 h from empty to fullcharge produces 9 hoperation time

Short charge 1 h charging gives >3.25 hof operation

1 h charging gives 4 h ofoperation

The division between errors and warnings is sometimes not very clear. In both cases itis worth restarting the detector to try to pass the self -test again. Charging the batteryalso reduces the risk for some errors and warnings.
