NP16EN  

Revision: A.0 

 

 

Highest alarm set point for flammable gases shall not exceed 60% LEL and shall be of 

a latching type. 

 

Over-range (flammable gases) 

 

As soon as gas concentration exceeds 100% LEL, 

MX 16  stores the over-range 

condition and displays 

>100% LEL. The concerned channel goes into alarm and fault 

condition and OVS 

(OVERSCALE) and FAULT (FAULT) visual indicators are lit. 

Alarm reset is manual and under the responsability of the user who must follow the 
site-specific safety guidelines.  Over-range condition can only be deactivated by 
switching off the detector via the maintenance menu providing the gas concentration 
is below the alarm threshold. 

 

MX 16 

controller must not be exposed to mechanical vibrations and must be installed in a 

non-hazardous area. 
With respect to installation in explosive atmospheres, the electrical installation must 

comply with the regulation in force, in particular EN 60079-14 and EN 6079-17 standards 

(current editions) and, if necessary, additional requirements of domestic or national 

regulations that apply to the place of installation.
