Start Up
This section describes procedures to start up the toxic detector and place the detector into normal
operation.
Introducing Incoming Power
1.
Complete the installation procedures described earlier in this manual.
2.
Verify that the power wiring to the controller is correct and secure. Refer to the controller
operator’s manual.
3.
Turn on or plug in the incoming power, then turn on the controller.
4.
Verify that the controller is on and operating properly. Refer to the controller operator’s manual.
CAUTION:
Allow the detector to warm up for 5 minutes before you continue with the next section, “Setting
the Zero Reading”.
Setting the Zero (Fresh Air) Reading
CAUTION:
If you suspect the presence of the target gas in the monitoring environment, use the calibration kit
and a zero air calibration cylinder to introduce “fresh air” to the toxic detector and verify an
accurate zero setting. See “Calibration” on page 14 for instructions to introduce zero air to the
detector.
1.
Verify that the detector is in a fresh air environment (environment known to be free of toxic and
combustible gases, and of normal oxygen content, 20.9%).
2.
Verify a reading of 0 ppm at the controller.
If the display reading is 0 ppm, start up is complete. The toxic detector is in normal operation.
If the display reading is not 0 ppm, continue with step 3.
3.
Perform a zero (fresh air) adjustment operation at the controller. See the controller operator’s
manual for instructions.
Maintenance
This section describes maintenance procedures. It includes preventive maintenance, troubleshooting,
and component replacement procedures.
Preventive Maintenance
This section describes a preventive maintenance schedule to ensure the optimum performance of the
toxic detector. It includes daily and quarterly procedures.
Daily
Verify a display reading of 0 ppm at the controller. Investigate significant changes in the display
reading.
Quarterly
Calibrate the toxic detector as described in “Calibration” on page 14.
