Service and Maintenance 

Service and Maintenance 

 

Prior  to  carrying  out  any  work  or  maintenance  on  the  ECO  take  the 
necessary  steps  to  advise  the  monitoring  authority  that  power  may  be 
removed and the system disabled. 

 
 

Electrostatic  discharge  precautions  need  to  be  taken  prior  to  removing 
the  ECO  cover  from  the  detector  body  to  avoid  any  static  discharge 
damage to the ECO control board or sensor cartridge. 

 

Service Intervals & Inspection 

It  is  generally  recommended  that  the  ECO  detector  be  serviced  every  six  mo
however  this  period  must  be  tailored  to  the  effects  of  the  installation  environment 
based on the results of the recommended service inspections listed below

 

Remove  and check  the  condition of  the  Filter  assembly on  the  bottom  of 
the  Sensor  cartridge.    Refer  to  page  78  for  instructions  on  removing  the 
filter  cartridge  assembly.    If  the  filter  membranes  are  damaged,  replace 
the filter cartridge.  If not, remove any dirt and dust build up.  If the buildup 
of  contaminates  on  the  filter  membranes  is  excessive  then  consideration 
should  be  given  to  reducing  the  service  and  inspection  period.    Replace 
the  Filter  cartridge  into  the  sensor  cartridge  and  replace  the  sensor 
cartridge into the detector body. 

 

Apply  a  known  zero  gas  level  for  each  sensor  to  the  Gas  test  port,  and 
check  for drift  and  inaccuracies.   Recalibrate  the  Zero  level if  necessary.  
If  excessive  drift  of  the  Zero  reading  has  occurred,  consideration  should 
be given to reducing the service and inspection period. 

 

Apply  a  known  span  gas  level  for  each  sensor  to  the  Gas  test  port,  and 
check for drift and inaccuracies.  Recalibrate the Span level if necessary.  
If  excessive drift  of  the  Span reading  has occurred,  consideration  should 
be given to reducing the service and inspection period.
