7.  START-UP AND COMMISSIONING 

The  QTS-6100  Series  Sensor/Transmitter  comes  from  the  factory  completely  configured,  tested  and 
calibrated  as  ordered.    Verify  the  model  number  is  correct  and  follow  the  installation  instructions  in  this 
manual.      Check  all  wiring  prior  to  applying  power  to  the  transmitter.    Using  a  digital  multimeter 
(DVOM), check power at the terminals to ensure a nominal 24 VDC  is present. Connect the DVOM to the 
test  jacks  on  the  upper  CCA  with  a  range  selected  that  will  display  20  mA  DC.    The  reading  on  the  test 
jacks is the actual output from the transmitter. 
 
It is not uncommon for the electrochemical sensor to register a response when first started up, even in clean 
air.    If  the  sensor  was  not  covered,  some  gases  may  have  entered  the  cell  and  not  been  cleared  by  the 
unpowered  unit.    Generally  the  sensor  will  be  fully  warmed up  and  clear  of  any  gases  within  one  hour of 
power being applied.    Under extreme conditions this period may be as long as 24 hours.    The exception to 
this is the ammonia (NH

3

) sensor.    This sensor will take between three and five days to be fully warmed up 

and provide a stable output.    Calibration of any transmitter should not be performed until the sensor is fully 
warmed up and stable. 
 

8.  ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 

8.1  Calibration 

 
Recommended  calibration  of  the  QTS-6100  Series  Sensor/Transmitter  is  every  90  days,  or  as  necessary.   
The user should take into account actual installation environment and the possibilities for failure due to water 
or  corrosive  atmospheres.    The  seriousness  of  a  failure  to  alarm  or  the  lack  of  precision  in  that  location 
should also be considered and calibration periods adjusted accordingly.
