Accept New Sensor Type - Honeywell XNX-AM Series Technical Manual

XNX Universal Transmitter
The default calibration values for the "Calibration Required"
diagnostic vary based on sensor type. This value can be repro-
grammed in accordance with site requirements to ensure the
highest level of safety. Before commissioning, verify the correct
operation of each sensor using calibration with a certified gas of
known concentration.
Although the calibration interval can be set to any value be-
tween 0 and 360 days, Honeywell Analytics recommends that the
interval for electrochemical and catalytic sensors be set to 180
days (or fewer, in accordance with customer site procedures) to
assure the highest level of safety.
Use the switches to highlight the current interval and use
to select it.
Figure 105. Edit Interval and Setting Interval Value screens
Use the switches to move to the desired position. Use
select it. Use the switches to decrease or increase the value
until the desired value is reached. (The minimum number of days is 0;
the maximum number is defined by the sensor type.) Use
the value and move to the next field. Repeat for each field. When all
of the fields have been updated, use the
the 'ü' on the right side of the display. Use
save the settings.
CAUTION
!
Caution: Setting the calibration interval to zero turns off the calibration notification.
This can seriously affect sensor performance.

Accept New Sensor Type


When replacing EC cells or mV sensors, use Accept New
Sensor Type to load default parameters into the transmitter for
calibration and sensor life. Accept New Sensor Type is also used
when replacing an EC cell with another EC cell for a different
target gas. (See Replacing with a Different Cartridge
Figure 107. Accept New Sensor Type menu
When changing the target gas by inserting a new sensor, the
transmitter will prompt the user for a confirmation of the change
before adjusting to the properties of the new sensor.
