All faults have a 10-second delay before activating, unless otherwise noted.
During a fault, the ability of the system to detect gas depends on which fault is
active. Fault groups are to highlight that gas detection is generally disabled during
detection and flash input faults (dEt and inF) and enabled during electrical faults
(ELc). Exceptions are noted. If both types of faults are active, the fault which
prevents gas detection has priority.

*The system can detect gas during F1 provided that there is sufficient flash input
signal. The system cannot detect gas if no flash input is received.
5.1.1 F0 Excess Negative Drift
This fault indicates LEL-m < -10% of full scale LEL-m.
ACTION
– Clean the optics. Remove any partial blockage in the beam path.
Verify that the distance between the Source and Receiver is greater than the
range minimum. Align the system.
5.1.2 F1 Close to Low IR
This fault indicates that either (1) IR input intensity is within 10% of the Low IR
fault threshold, or (2) IR input intensity is below the Low IR fault threshold and
the output fault delay time (oFd) has not yet elapsed. .
ACTION
– Unit windows should be cleaned and the optical path checked for
blockage.
If the window is clean and the path is clear,
realigning the Source
and Receiver when no background gas is present should correct this fault.
