End-of-Warranty Signal
Two years after the TX-6-ND is installed the sensor end-of-warranty signal will be activated indicating that the TX-6-ND sensor has
reached the end of its warranty period. The end-of-warranty signal will cause an error code t200 “Sensor warranty expired”. See Error
Codes section. In addition to the end-of-warranty signal the sensor itself has a tamper proof warranty expiration sticker dated 2 years
from the unit manufacture date. See the Macurco Fixed Gas Detection Products Limited Warranty section.
The end-of-warranty signal can be silenced for 48 hours by pressing the "ENTER/TEST" button or by temporarily dropping power to the
unit. The end-of-warranty signal provides the user an opportunity to test and/or calibrate the sensor assuring that it is still performing
within acceptable parameters though the sensor is nearing the end of its 2-3 year expected life. The silence function will continue to be
available for 29 days after the TX-6-ND initiates the initial end-of-warranty signal. After this 29 day period the TX-6-ND can no longer be
silenced and the sensor must be replaced or the sensor life reset.

cycle the unit will display the Firmware Version number, then count down from 60 to 0 and finally go into normal operation. The
indicator light (LED) will flash green during the self-test cycle. At the end of the 1 minute cycle, the unit will take its first sample of
the air and the indicator light will turn solid green.
