Description
2.7 SafeSwap
The TG5000 comes with patented SafeSwap technology, which allows users to change or replace
XCell sensors without needing to power down the instrument. For added convenience, the TG5000
comes with Swap Delay enabled by default; a feature that gives users a 2-minute window to change
sensors without triggering a fault condition. For more information on SafeSwap and Swap Delay,
see section 4.2.1.
