7-2 Procedures
(1) Turning ON the power
①
Turn ON the Power switch. If the equipment has a backup power source, turn ON the Battery switch as well.
②
Gas concentration indicator displays gas concentration and first and second preset alarm values. The Power
lamp blinks green to show that the equipment is warming up.
③
The Power lamp stops blinking and lights up green and normal operation starts. Warming up takes about 180
seconds.
(2) Gas sensor signal confirmation
①
Connect Tester to a gas sensor current signal terminal and measure the terminal voltage.
②
A terminal to check gas sensor current has its built in 1
Ω
resistance (for example, it measures 180mA when a
terminal voltage is 0.18 V).
③
Since gas sensor current varies depending on sensors, always check it with test certificate supplied.
④
Gas sensor current are adjusted at the factory and do not need adjusting at work sites. However if necessary,
adjust it by turning the gas sensor adjustment volume (CURR).
(3) Zero adjustment
After approximately 1 week from the power on, the indicator indication value shall be stable. Then, carry out the
zero adjustment and span adjustment. Always start from the zero adjustment first.
1) Correction by the auto zero function (the equipment with linearizer only)
The reading is automatically corrected to zero by pressing the button. Use this adjustment daily for minor zero
point corrections. Refer to 7-6 (1).
2) Analog zero adjustment
Adjust zero by turning the zero adjustment volume for trial run or after replacement of the gas sensor. Use this
method for most zero adjustments. Refer to 7-6 (2).
Make sure that all parts are correctly connected before turning on the power. Check that the terminals of
the gas detector and indicator and alarm unit are correctly connected.
Do not connect a load to the external alarm contact that exceeds the rated capacity.
CAUTION
Make sure that there is no gas around the gas detector before carrying out zero adjustment. If zero
adjustment is carried out when there is gas around the gas detector, the indicator cannot indicate correct
values.
CAUTION
When the equipment is kept for long time (delivery from the factory to the power on), it may take time to
get the indication value on the indicator stable..
The hot-wire semiconductor sensor mounted on this detector head is very sensitive, and base value
changes by the existence of interference gases. Therefore, please adjust the base value slightly higher than
0 value. (except the equipment with linearizer)
