1. Overview
The original HazSim Pro (v1) system is made up of three main parts. The server, the LAN,
and the Hazsim handheld. The system is contained with all accessory cords and a confined
space probe in a Pelican case.
Figure 01: Components of the HazSim Pro 1.0 system.
The Dual Pro 1.0 system will include two handhelds.
1.1 HazSim Server
Convertible laptop or tablet with touch screen is used by the instructor to control the
HazSim handheld meter. If your system is the convertible laptop it can be used with the
keyboard in laptop mode or flipped closed and used as a tablet for more portability. When
turned on, the server should automatically boot up to the HazSim program. In instances
where the server may have not been shut down properly after it’s previous use, the
program can always be reopened from the desktop icon. The server connects to the
HazSim via the LAN.

1.2 HazSim LAN
The LAN creates the closed wireless network which connects the server with one or many
HazSim handhelds. The LAN will work up to a one thousand foot range, which is about the
length of three football fields, depending on obstructions (see Section 5: Maximizing
Range). The LAN network will be found as ‘HazSim Extended’ which will NOT allow access to
the internet, this network is for the HazSim training system only.

best range results.

1.3 HazSim Handheld
The HazSim handheld, once connected to the server via the LAN, will become any meter
chosen by the instructor on the server. The HazSim has a power on/off button and touch
screen for ‘answering’ questions and ‘confirm’ power off of the unit. The HazSim handheld
also includes a confined space probe attachment point.
Please note that the battery in the HazSim Pro v1 is NOT user serviceable.

2. Powering Up the System
Included with each system is a laminated Getting Started Guide which is an abbreviated
version of these instructions. Also refer to the training video on setting up the system.
2.1 Startup Sequence
2.1.1 STEP ONE - Set up the LAN. Connect included CAT5 Cable to POE (Power Over
Ethernet) port on the POE Adapter (black box). DO NOT connect to LAN port. Connect the
power cord to POE adapter. Plug the power cord to a grounded outlet.
Ensure antenna is snugly threaded in place and set up in a position where it can ‘see’ both
drill area and instructor.

5
*A longer CAT5 cable can be used to extend the LAN from power source (rather than an
extension power cord). For other ways to maximize range, see Section 5: Maximizing
Range.

2.1.2 STEP TWO - Turn on the server. The system will automatically login and open
the HazSim server software. If you were already using the system and had closed the
program, simply re-open by clicking the desktop icon. The Hazsim server will automatically
connect to the ‘HazSim Extended’ network.
2.1.3 STEP THREE - Turn on the HazSim handheld by pressing and holding the
power button (Figure 06) located on the top of the HazSim for at least 2 seconds. Wait for
the startup to complete, approximately 30 seconds. When the device has completed
startup, it will automatically connect to the HazSim server. This connection will trigger a
popup window on your HazSim server and you are ready to start training.
To attach the confined space probe (if equipped) simply plug the hose end in to the
attachment port at the end of the HazSim. To detach, pull sleeve back on hose end and
gently pull.

2.2 Turning Off the System
To turn the LAN off, carefully unplug the device.
To turn the HazSim server off, press the windows logo on the lower left of the screen.
Select the ‘Power’ icon then select ‘Shut Down’. Wait until the server turns off before
storing.
To turn the HazSim handheld off, press and hold the power button for at least 2 seconds; a
‘Power Off’ option will appear on the screen of the HazSim, select ‘Power Off’ and the unit
will power down. Detach the confined space probe before storing.
3. Operating the System
Once you have set up and powered on the LAN, server, and handheld, it’s time to start
training.
3.1 Selecting a Meter
Once connected, the HazSim Server will initially show the Meter Selection Window (Figure
07). This is where you select which meter you will use for training. If the Meter Selection
Window does not appear after start up, refer to Section 6: Troubleshooting.
Using the drop down menu (Figure 08), select the desired meter.
Figure 07: Meter Selection Window
with meter options.
Figure 08: Drop down of meter options. Use
scroll bar to see complete list.
Once a meter is selected from the drop down list, click ‘Select Meter Type’ (shown in Figure
07) which will launch the selected Meter’s Control Window (Figure 09).

Using the touch screen or cursor, the instructor can manipulate the values shown on the
HazSim handheld up or down accordingly to create a simulated training environment.

Note when CO is changed to 24, the HazSim reflects 24 ppm.

Buzz Meter - Press with cursor or touch and hold to activate the alarm on the HazSim
handheld in order to get the student’s attention back to the meter during training. This
alarm is separate from alarms set for gas reading levels
Select Question - Used to verify student understanding during training. The first time this
is selected you will be prompted to select the Question File which is a database with sets of
questions on specific topics
Change Questions List - Used to select (via drop down) which questions list/group.
Choices include Basic, Advanced, Radiation, Confined Space, and more. Each list has
approximately ten questions related to the selection.
Edit Questions - Opens Question Editor, see Section 4: Advanced Features

3.3 Controlling the Meter
Use the arrows to change the readings on the HazSim meter. Single arrow for small
increment, double arrow for large increment. ‘Norm’ returns the individual gas to it’s
normal reading. Norm-All returns ALL ‘gases’ to normal.
To change meters entirely, simply select the change meter icon on the meter control screen
and the previous list of meters will show. Select a new meter from the list and the HazSim
will change to the selected meter.
3.4 Asking Questions
With the HazSim Pro 1.0, instructors are able to send questions to the student via the
HazSim handheld in real time. Once received, the student can answer the question via
touch screen on the HazSim handheld unit. The instructor can utilize standard questions
pre-loaded on the HazSim Server or create custom question and answers.
Because scenarios are dynamic, instructors should know the desired answer before giving
the question. The system does not have the ability to know all of the variables in the
scenario that would complete a correct answer. For example, a student may be asked, “Are
you wearing the appropriate PPE?” while entering a toxic atmosphere. The correct answer
would rely on what level of dress the student is wearing, thus the system will not
automatically know. The same question, “Is your PPE correct?” may be used for a desired
YES answer when they are donning the correct PPE, OR as an incorrect, or NO answer, if
they are in the wrong PPE. The instructor must select the question that corresponds with
the desired answer or intended plan for the drill.
Send a Question
To send a question touch ‘Select Question’ and the question pop up window will open
labeled Select Question File. The select question file is opened . Select the desired
question and either double click or choose question. Once sent the question will appear on
the HazSim meter and the meter display will show there is a question awaiting an answer.
Once the student answers their selection will show on the meter control screen. If a
question is sent and you decide to change to another question you can cancel the question
by selecting cancel question and the question will disappear from the HazSim handheld
unless already answered by the user.
To send a question:
●Press ‘Select Question’. The first time this button is selected it will open the ‘select
question file’ list which is the databases of each type of question. Once the
database is selected a group of questions related to that subject will appear in a
new box.
