8. Maintenance
This gas detector requires no on-site gas calibration. Each sensor unit is gas-calibrated when shipped.
Replace the sensor unit with a new one every 6 months, except for combustible gas sensor units (CHS-7).
Routine checks are to be carried out by the user. 6-month and 3-year periodic inspections are to be
performed by the user, New Cosmos or its authorized representative.
Record the check/inspection results, and save them for at least 3 years. An example of the check/inspection
results is provided on page 32.

Important Maintenance Notice
In order to ensure the reliability of the gas detector, it is vital to perform periodic sensor unit
replacement. The replacement can be done by the user, but it is highly recommended that a
maintenance contract with a local New Cosmos representative be made for the performance of
periodic sensor unit replacement and inspection.
