configures Certified Sensor operations, e.g. when changing the Certified Sensor gas cartridge.
This menu is protected by a Level 2 password.
Change Cartridge
!
Change cartridges using the procedure described below.
Failure to correctly follow this procedure could result in the
wrong cartridge being installed, and possibly non-detection
of events. Alternatively, extraneous alarms could be
triggered by chemicals detected but not of concern at a
particular location.
Sensor Cartridges may contain corrosive solutions.
Dispose of according to local and national regulations.
This menu item allows the Certified Sensor gas cartridge to be changed under controlled conditions
without generating faults or alarms. The process detects the presence or absence of the cartridge.
If a new cartridge type is inserted, the default alarm thresholds are loaded into the Transmitter Unit.
Note: If the new cartridge has different parameters to the previous cartridge, these are displayed for
the operator to verify.
If a new cartridge of the same type as previously used is inserted, the configured alarm thresholds of
the Transmitter Unit are loaded into the new cartridge's actual parameters.
Caution: This only works if the Lowest Allowable Alarm Level (LAL) of the new cartridge is
lower than the transmitter's configured alarm threshold. If it is not, a Fatal Fault
error occurs.
This menu uses procedures from Chapter 5 where details about how to physically change the
cartridge are provided.
