Figure 11-4: Smart Sensor Information Menu
The Sensor Information page covers settings associated with Smart sensors. Users can review information
contained in the Smart Sensor database. Values cannot be user-modified.
TYPE
indicates what kind of input or sensor the GASMAX/TX is configured to accept and is typically pre-
configured at the factory. When installed, Smart Sensors upload sensor type and other data to the
GASMAX/TX and this data may be viewed on the SMART SENSOR information screen.
SPAN
displays the programmed value for 100% of range. Factory programmed.
ZERO
displays the programmed value for 0% of range. Factory programmed.
SERIAL NUMBER -
displays the unique sensor serial number.
BORN ON
displays the date when the sensor was originally configured at the factory.
LAST CAL
displays the date of the most recent calibration.
Figure 11-5: Technicians Menu
ZERO CAL VALUE
should always be set to “0”.
RAW MIN / RAW MAX COUNTS –
determines the range of the 12 bit analog to digital converter. Raw Min
Counts represents 0% of scale and Raw Max Counts represents 100% of scale. Under certain conditions,
these counts values can be adjusted to remove excessive offset or increase the apparent gain of the
sensor. Raising or lowering the value of the Raw Min Counts will adjust the sensor ‘zero’ point, and
reducing the Raw Max Counts will amplify the sensor’s output by reducing the range between zero and
span.
NOTE:
ADJUSTING THE RAW MIN OR RAW MAX COUNTS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY TECHNICIANS
FAMILIAR WITH THE GASMAX/TX GAS MONITOR.
