Performance test using
actual gas
・
Apply the calibration gas to the gas detector and check if an alarm goes off.
・
Check that the ALARM lamp (red) on the indicator unit blinks and an alarm
sound is given. (Refer to 8-3 for how to make calibration gas.)
How to apply calibration gas
a. Diffusion type gas detector b. Suction type gas detector
⑦
Visual inspection
・
Check the following visually.
・
Clogging of the rainproof cap filter (diffusion type gas detector)
・
Clogging and corrosion of the frame arrester (diffusion type gas detector)
・
Corrosion of the gas detector
・
Corrosion of fittings
⑧
Situation around the gas
detector
・
Check if there is anything blocking the diffusion or suction gas detector that is
hindering the detection of gas.
8-2 Maintenance inspections (Contact our dealer / agency for the inspection.)
(1) Items to be inspected regularly and the inspection method
Carry out the following inspections at least once a year.
Table 2
Items to be inspected
Inspection method
①
Sensor’s current
inspection
・
Refer to “7-2. Procedures” (2).
②
Zero point adjustment
・
Refer to “7-2. Procedures” (3).
③
POWER lamp check
・
Refer to 2 on Table 1 about daily inspection.
④
Preset alarm value
・
Check that the preset alarm value mark on the indicator unit’s bar graph is at
the proper value. (Refer to “7-2. Procedures” (4).)
⑤
Flow inspection
(Suction gas detector
only)
・
Refer to 3 on Table 1 about daily inspection.
⑥
Filter inspection
(Suction gas detector
only)
・
Refer to User manual for Detector head
⑦
Span adjustment
(Sensitivity inspection)
・
Apply calibration gas(1.6 times more than the preset alarm value) to the gas
detector and check the bar graph on the indicator unit.
⑧
Response time check
・
Check how long it takes from when you start applying gas to the gas detector
until and an alarm goes off. It should be within 30 seconds.
* If an alarm does not go off within 30 seconds, check for clogging of sintered
metals or the filter of suction type gas detector.
