Figure 1: Basic Parts of the Manning EC-P2 Sensor
The Manning EC-P2 is a portable, battery operated
instrument for the measurement of gas concentrations
in ambient air.

The Manning 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). This allows one instrument to detect a
number of different gases. All calibration and alarm
setpoint data is stored on the individual SMART-CELL
so reconfiguration is not necessary when changing
target gases. Extra SMART-CELLs should be kept on
the optional sensor keeper when not in use to keep
them “warmed up” and ready for immediate use.
The Manning EC-P2 utilizes two different batteries to
insure that you’ll never be without power when you
need it. The primary power source is a “C” size
alkaline battery housed in the handle. It will run the
unit approximately 48 hours. When this battery is
removed or dead, the unit will switch to its standby
power source, an internal rechargeable NiCad
battery, which will run the unit approximately six
hours. When not in use, the unit should be plugged
into the charger to keep this standby battery charged.
If desired, the unit can be run continuously when
plugged into the charger.
The Manning EC-P2 also has advanced capabilities
such as data logging to an Excel spreadsheet, 0 to
1.0 Volt DC analog output capability, and a sampling
mode for taking a single reading in a controlled,
repeatable manner.
