Installation, Operation & Maintenance Merlin CO2-X
Rev 5 10-21
10
End of Operational Life (EOL)
This message indicates that the CO2-X monitor has reached its expected operational lifecycle.
No gas or temperature levels will be displayed. The expected lifetime is 10 years.
Contact your supplier and replace the unit immediately.
The expected lifecycle of 10 years may vary depending on environmental conditions.
General Maintenance
Cleaning
Keep your detector in good working order follow these basic principles;
Carefully remove any accumulated dust from the outer enclosure using a slightly damp cloth.
Never use detergents or solvents to clean your device – this may permenantly or temporarily damage the gas
sensing elements.
Never spray air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the device.
Never paint the device. Paint will seal vents and interfere with the device.
High concentrations of alcohol found in many products may damage, deteriorate or affect the gas sensing
elements – such as; wine; deodorants; stain removers; thinners etc.
Auto-Calibration
Our CO
2
sensors are designed to automatically recalibrate using background CO
2
levels ±100ppm.
For maintenance purposes, the device should be exposed to fresh air intermittently to aid with this process.
Inaccuracies that do not resolve over a 24 hour period may require temporary removal of the device, from site, for an
extended exposure to fresh air.
Testing your CO2-X
The aim of the test is to make sure the CO2-X is working at its optimum by briefly exposing a level of carbon dioxide
to send the device into an alarm state ensuring all system outputs/relays activate then it is working safely.
If the system fails to operate as intended in an alarm state, the device must not be used until a full inspection and
service has been conducted.
To do this, simply breathe near or into the device. To increase reaction time, cover the escape vents.
If in doubt, contact your supplier.
