Setting
The maintenance switch has three modes, maintenance mode 1 (MNT1), maintenance mode 2
(MNT2), and normal operation mode (gas monitoring mode).
Set the maintenance switch to MNT1 or MNT2 on the base unit
’s front. “MNT1” or “MNT2” will be
shown on the LCD. To return to the normal operation mode, set the maintenance switch to the
center position.
Operation
During MNT1, gas alarm contacts and trouble alarm open collector are disabled.
During MNT2, gas alarm contacts and trouble alarm open collector are disabled, and the analog
output is fixed at 4.0mA (or 17.4mA for oxygen).
In either maintenance mode, the amber TROUBLE LED will flash and the detected gas
