Warm-up
When power is applied to the detector, it enters a one (1) minute warm-up mode. The output current will be
0.8 mA during the warm up time period. At the end of the warm-up period with no faults present, the
detector automatically enters the normal operating mode (4 mA). If a fault is present after warm-up, the
detector current output will indicate a fault. See the following chart for fault code status.
Normal
In the normal operating mode, the 4 to 20 mA signal levels correspond to the detected gas concentration.
The detector continuously checks for system faults or initiation of calibration and automatically changes to
the appropriate mode.
The 4 to 20 mA output of the SEC MILLENIUM is a non-isolated current source.
Current Output and Corresponding Status
Once the fault is cleared the SEC MILLENIUM will atomatically resume normal operation.
