7.1.3. Stream Selector Status/Control (Optional) 
The optional multi-channel stream selector can be controlled via the front panel.  The stream 
selector operates in two modes, Auto and Manual.  The Auto mode is normally the default mode.  
The ‘AUTO’ and ‘MAN’ LED’s show the current mode.  To switch modes, press and hold the 
SELECT button for at least 2 seconds.  When in Manual mode, momentarily pressing the 
SELECT button will switch to the next stream. 
The stream selector status is shown by the six LED’s labeled ‘SAMPLE POINT.’  One of the 
LED’s should always be lit, showing the current channel being measured.  Note that for a three-
channel instrument, only streams 1-3 can be measured.  See Section 7.3 for additional details on 
the operation of the stream selector. 
When the instrument is in its default configuration, there is a Manual mode timeout feature that 
will automatically return the stream selector to Auto mode when no keys are pressed for 10 
minutes.  This is the recommended setting for instruments used for critical safety applications.  
This feature prevents the instrument from being inadvertently left in Manual mode, and 
subsequent loss of monitoring data from the other, unmeasured channels.  For applications where 
Manual mode is the preferred mode of operation, this timeout feature can be turned off.  See 
Section 7.2.6 for details on changing this setting. 
7.1.4. Concentration Alarm Status/Reset 
The M465L front panel displays the concentration alarm status of all channels being sampled.  
The row of LED’s labeled ‘ALARM STATUS’ shows the alarm status for each channel as 
follows: 
Table 7-1: Alarm LED’s 
Alarm Status LED Color 
Alarm State 
Green 
No alarm active 
Amber 
‘HI’ alarm active 
Red 
‘HI-HI’ alarm active 
 
NOTE 
If the alarms are configured for latching operation, then the RESET button can be used to 
attempt to reset all alarms.  Note that alarms can only be reset if the concentration measured for a 
specific channel has subsequently dropped below the alarm limit.  If the alarms are configured 
for non-latching operation, they will be automatically cleared when the concentration falls below 
the alarm threshold.  The RESET button has no effect when the alarms are configured for non-
latching operation. 
See Sections 7.2.7, 4.2.4, and 4.2.5 for additional details on concentration alarms.
