5-6. Description of operation (maintenance) 

 

5-6-1. Maintenance mode 

Enter the maintenance mode to perform each adjustment. 
Holding down the MODE switch for three seconds in the detection mode enters the maintenance mode. 
Holding down the MODE switch for three seconds in the maintenance mode returns to the detection mode. 
If the maintenance mode is left unoperated for 10 hours, the detection mode automatically returns. 

 

  17.4 - 20.0 mA: 4.0 mA 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

WARNING 

When the maintenance mode is entered while gas detection is performed, the external output signal 
(gas concentration signal) becomes 17.4 mA (normal state). 

 

*  The maintenance mode consists of "Daily Maintenance" and "Regular Maintenance", and "Daily 

Maintenance (Fresh Air Adjustment)" is normally used.
