REPLACEMENT PARTS

The PIRVOLHV is not designed to be repaired in the field.  

If a problem should develop, refer to the Troubleshooting 

section.  If it is determined that the problem is caused by 

an electronic defect, the device must be returned to the 

factory for repair.  

DEVICE REPAIR AND RETURN

Prior to returning devices, contact the nearest local 

Detector Electronics office so that a Return Material 

Identification (RMI) number can be assigned.  

written statement describing the malfunction must 
accompany the returned device or component to 
assist and expedite finding the root cause of the 
failure.

Pack the unit properly.  Always use sufficient packing 

material.  Where applicable, use an antistatic bag as 

protection from electrostatic discharge.

NOTE

Det-Tronics  reserves  the  right  to  apply  a  service 
charge for repairing returned product damaged as 
a result of improper packaging.

Return all equipment transportation prepaid to the factory 

in Minneapolis.

NOTE 

It is highly recommended that a complete spare 
be kept on hand for field replacement to ensure 
continuous protection. 

Table 3—Calibration Sequence

Description

Current

LED

Operator action

Normal operation/no gas present

4.0 mA

Off

If the possibility of background gases exists, 

purge the sensor with clean air to ensure accurate 

calibration.

Initiate calibration

2.2 mA

On steady

Initiate the calibration sequence by holding the 

calibration magnet against the side of the termination 

box or activating the external calibrate pushbutton for 

one second.

Zero calibration complete

2.0 mA

Flashing

Re-apply magnet (or activate switch) for one second.  

Span calibration is not required.  Device will revert to 

live operation using new zero level and original span 

level from factory calibration.

Calibration fault indication

1.6 mA

Off

See Troubleshooting Table.

NOTE:  Failure to re-apply magnet to set zero level will result in Fault status if span gas is not applied.  Span gas is typically 

applied at the factory only.
