GASMAX/TX Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.0
Page 34
If the GASMAX/TX is used with second-generation legacy products such as the C2
Quad Protector
Receiver
/ Controller, C1
Protector
Receiver / Controller or C64
Protector
Receiver / Controller, the remote
controllers
ignore the alarm status bits
and use
broadcast gas levels to trigger alarms
. In this case, alarm
level data must be manually programmed at the receiver / controller.
SENSOR REPLACEMENT
If a sensor shows FAULT, does not respond to gas or can no longer be calibrated, it should be replaced.
GASMAX/TX monitors use GDS Corp type 10-97xx electrochemical sensors or ultra-low-power infrared
sensors, where the XX is the gas type shown in Specifications. The range value should also be specified
when ordering replacement sensors. For example, a replacement H2S sensor for 0-100 ppm would be
“10-9715-R0100”.
To replace a sensor, follow these steps:
1.
Turn off the GASMAX/TX by accessing the
Device Setup – Turn Power Off
menu or holding the magnet
over the NEXT key until the display shows “EDIT at Accept, then pressing the EDIT key.
2.
Unscrew the sensor head cover. If unable to open the cover by hand, use a Sensor Head Replacement
Tool (p/n 10-0187).
3.
Remove the old sensor by pulling straight down.
NOTE:
DO NOT TRY TO UNSCREW THE SENSOR. PULL STRAIGHT DOWN.
4.
Carefully install the replacement sensor by aligning the arrow on the sensor with the arrow engraved
on the sensor head. Push straight up until the sensor connector seats firmly into the connector.
5.
Reinstall the sensor head cover by CAREFULLY screwing the cover onto the sensor head.
NOTE:
IF THE SENSOR FALLS OUT OF THE SENSOR HEAD DURING THIS STEP, IT CAN BE DAMAGED.
USE CAUTION WHEN REINSTALLING THE SENSOR HEAD COVER
.
6.
Turn the GASMAX/TX ON by holding the magnet over the UP/ON key until the welcome screen
appears on the display.
