The CD-6H uses an automated background calibration program to set the clean air level on a regular basis. The CD-6MC has the same setting and features of the CD-6H with the addition of being able to perform a manual calibration. The CD- 6MC requires a manual calibration process at a minimum of once per year using the Macurco CD6-FCK calibration kit.
“clean air reference value” (this reference value is the lowest concentration to which the sensor is exposed) at least once per week. The CD-6MC does not perform automated background calibrations and it is suggested to perform a Manual Calibration on the unit no less than once per year using the Macurco CD6-FCK calibration kit.

3 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions are intended to serve as a general guideline for the use of the Macurco CD-6H / CD-6MC Carbon Dioxide Detector. It is not to be considered all-inclusive, nor is it intended to replace the policy and procedures for each facility. If you have any doubts about the applicability of the equipment to your situation, consult an industrial hygienist or call Technical Support at 844-325- 3050.

Carbon Dioxide concentration has dropped below fan setting Fan Relay Run time has been exceeded Note that the “disable” fan setting will cause the fan relay to not engage. The fan relay will engage in trouble fault condition (if the Trouble Fan Setting Option is set to “ON”) and will disengage once trouble fault condition is cleared.

3.2.7 Alternate connection to alarm panel In this application (3.2.7 Alternate connection to alarm panel) the Fan or primary relay is used as a low-level alarm relay. The Alarm or secondary relay is used as a supervisory relay when utilized in the normally closed configuration. The CD-6”x” monitors all critical functions of the unit through software diagnostics that continually test and verify its operations.
3.5.2 Selecting Power Up Test Option – “PUt” To select the Power Up Test Configuration, in normal mode, push the Next button to get to “Con” or the Configuration menu. Then push the Enter button to enter the Con menu. Then push the Next button to get to the second selection “PUt” or Power Up Test setting.
If the error mode repeats frequently, check for continuous power and proper voltage. If power is not the problem and a unit has repeating error conditions, it may need to be returned to Macurco for service, per these User Instructions.
"ENTER/TEST" button or by temporarily dropping power to the unit. The end-of-life signal provides the user an opportunity to test and/or calibrate the sensor (CD-6MC only) assuring that it is still performing within acceptable parameters though the sensor is nearing the end of its expected life.
Check that the green CD-6”x” status indicator LED light is illuminated continuously. If not, do not proceed with the tests. If the unit is in error mode, contact your local representative or Macurco technical support representative for information on resolving the problem.
If the instrument cannot be calibrated, do not use until the reason can be determined and corrected. Do not cover or obstruct display or visual alarm cover. Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and is free of debris. 4.3.5 Field Calibration Kit –...

Gas cylinder has reached its expiration date. Replace the gas cylinder. c. Unit needs to be re-calibrated (automated background calibration for CD-6H, Manual Calibration for CD-6MC) then re-test. Detector is in need of servicing (contact Technical Support for at 844-325-3050 servicing options).
Note: For optimum calibration results the unit should be in clean air and be in a low ambient air flow. 1. Remove the Philips screw on the front of the CD-6MC. Remove the front cover. 2. Open the FCK. Connect the 400-ppm gas cylinder to the regulator.

11. Once the calibration has passed, remove gas and disassemble the cylinder and regulator. 12. Re-assemble the CD-6MC (make sure the LED is aligned with the front case hole). 13. See Calibration Flowchart on the inside of the housing, or section 5.5 CAL...
