MAINTENANCE 

This section covers topics related to the maintenance of the AMC-1222 module. A general 
description of maintenance to be carried out is followed by a verification of operation and then 
details about the sensor replacement. 
 

5.3 GENERAL 

The sensor module should be brushed or wiped clean once a year or more, of any dust or dirt 
which settles on it, depending on the accumulation.  The module SHOULD NOT be submerged 
or placed under conditions where water or other liquids would be able to enter the transmitter. 
 

5.4  VERIFICATION OF OPERATION 

Verification of operation and calibration should be done at least once every 6 months for safety 
reasons and for highly demanding applications, monthly verification is recommended. 
 

5.5 SENSOR REPLACEMENT 

The sensor should be replaced when the sensor no longer adequately responds to test gas. 
 

CAUTION:   

Turn off the power supply before attempting the following. 

 
When the sensor needs replacing, reorder the Part Number listed in section 2.1 SENSOR 
MODULE (page 4).  To replace the sensor element, remove the four screws and cover plate 
from the housing.  Unplug the used sensor element from its socket and discard then plug in the 
replacement sensor element.  Reinstall the cover plate and screws. 
 

Note:   

Allow 24 hours for the new sensor element to stabilize (burn-in) before recalibrations then 
follow instructions in the Calibration section of this manual.
