Installation of sensing heads

Depending on the explosion protection type, different sensing
heads are used. For installation of the different sensing
heads, refer to the corresponding instructions for use for the
respective sensing head.

Commissioning of the instrument

1. Switch power supply on.
 The display shows that the sensor will be ready for
measurement in hh:mm:ss (countdown) and the
instrument transmits the maintenance signal.
 The fault relay is activated.
 The instrument will go through a start-up sequence
(LCD / LED test, software version, and initialization)
and start the warm-up period.
The maintenance signal on the 4-20mA interface
remains pending until the sensor is warmed-up.
Maximum warm-up time of a new sensor: see the
Instructions for Use for the sensor. For Oxygen: EN
50104 approvals.
 After the warm-up period, the instrument goes into
normal operation. The display shows the current gas
concentration, the selected gas and the units of
measurement. The green LED is lit.
2. Check date and time.
Settings can be made during the warm-up period. The
warm-up period depends on the sensor and environment
conditions.
3. If necessary, calibrate the instrument.

8.1.1 Measuring mode

Display example Description
In normal operation, the display

shows the measured gas concentra-
tion, the selected gas and the unit of
measurement.
O 2 Vol.%
Exceeding the alarm thresholds.

8.1.2 Special states

If the instrument is in a special state, a proper measurement
or alarming can no longer be guaranteed.
This is the case:
– When the gas concentration exceeds the measuring
range.
– When a fault occurs.
– When alarms are deactivated.
The measuring function (display output and analog/digital
interface) remains active.
– During calibrations.
– During bump tests.
– During warm-up phase.
– During maintenance.
For the current of the analog interface corresponding to the
analog signal, see 17.2.
For signals of digital interfaces, refer to the corresponding
technical manual.
Display example Description
Value is over measuring range
The gas concentration is beyond the
measuring range of the sensor.
Analog interface: Measuring range
O 2 A2
exceeded
Relays: A2 relay switches
