Read Before Operating
This gas monitoring system has been designed to provide long-term reliable performance. We recommend the
following basic precautions while installing, operating and maintaining this device.
▪
Read this “Guide to Operation and Installation” carefully. Installation, maintenance, calibration and testing
should be performed by qualified personnel only.
▪
Check if the power supply matches the specifications given in this guide and ensure that the system has been
connected properly. This monitor must be powered by a regulated 24VDC power supply.
Please ensure the proper polarity. Reversing the polarity will damage the fuse on the drive PCB.
▪
After power up, please let the system equilibrate for one hour before making any adjustments. Note
the monitor may read elevated concentrations of COS during the sensor warm up. Once the cell
recovers, the monitors zero may need to be adjusted.
▪
The COS monitor is designed for safety monitoring where normal use is defined as zero gas concentration
with an occasional excursion. If the monitor is continuously exposed to carbonyl sulfide or if the monitor is
exposed to very high short-term gas concentrations, it will require more frequent gas calibration or complete
sensor cell replacement, and possible a new replacement pyrolizer filament .
▪
The pyrolizer filament is fragile and must never be disturbed once inside the pyro tube. Never twist the
filament inside the pyro tube.
▪
The COS sensor cell has a cross sensitivity to Isopropyl alcohol, (IPA). During wipe downs it is
recommended to disable the alarm outputs to your central alarm system.
This system has a built-in pyrolizer. The pyrolizer insulation temperature can reach
150 F and can cause burns if touched. Use Caution when working near the pyrolizer.
