6-2. Wiring and Connection (Continued) Typical Connection Procedure Prepare a power supply that can provide 24 V. (Do not turn on the power supply before wiring the main unit.) Loosen the hexagon socket bolts on the four corners of the main unit using the provided hexagon wrench with a nominal diameter of 4 mm, and open the casing cover of the main unit.
7. Precautions before Use CAUTION Before turning ON any of the devices (e.g., indicator unit, signal converter) connected to the product, recheck that all of the connections are correct. Make sure that the gas detector and indicator unit or signal converter, in particular, are connected properly. In Case of Oxygen Deficiency ...
8. Display at Start-up (Initial Delay) CAUTION If the sensor output is not stable, the external contact point may operate after the initial delay. Release the interlock of the external equipment if necessary. During the initial delay, there is a fixed output of the analog signal corresponding to the standard oxygen concentration 21.0 vol%.

10. Trouble Alarm The product has a self-inspection function, and the trouble alarm will operate if a problem occurs. The product will inform the user of the problem details with the display shown in the following table when the trouble alarm operates. ...
11. Maintenance Check and Operation Method 11-1. Daily Inspection and Periodical Inspection Daily inspections are conducted by the user, while periodical inspections are conducted by your local representative. Frequency Checking item Contents of inspection ▪ The status of lamp (green POWER indicator) is lit.
If the sensor and the detector are incorrectly connected, the detector cannot detect gas. The dimensions of flameproof joint between casing and casing cover of KD-12 flameproof housing are exceeding the minimum requirements stated EN/IEC60079-1. Please contact the manufacturer for inspection, repair and/or adjustments of this flameproof.

11-2. Replacement of Sensor Unit (Continued) Turn OFF the power supply to the Detector. Remove the sensor casing cover by rotating it in the direction of the arrow. (See the photograph below on the left.) Pull down the sensor to remove it. (See the photograph below on the right.) Connect the sensor.
11-3. Calibration Method Maintenance Mode CAUTION While in maintenance mode, the external contact does not operate when the concentration of gas reaches or exceeds the alarm set value. The product in maintenance mode maintains the current status while the display shows [ This mode is canceled by repeating the same operation(1 to 4), turning the product OFF, or waiting 8 hours.
Span Rough Adjustment This adjustment mode is used after replacing the sensor or when adjustment cannot be performed with the 21.0 vol% adjustment. CAUTION The external contact may operate during span rough adjustment. Before performing span rough adjustment, set the product to maintenance mode or release the interlocks of the external devices if needed.
21.0 vol% Adjustment ・This span adjustment mode is used in atmospheric air during periodic inspection. WARNING ▪ Always perform the 21.0 vol% adjustment in clean air. If you perform the 21.0 vol% adjustment in a gas atmosphere, the value of oxygen concentration output will be displayed incorrectly.
Full-scale and Alarm Set Value Display The full-scale and alarm set values are only displayed. They cannot be changed. While in gas monitor mode, press the MODE switch of the main unit first. Then press the UP switch with the magnetic stick within approximately 2 seconds. The main unit displays first, and displays (The product is ready to work but nothing has been operated.)
Test Mode ・Test values are adjusted and used for tests in this mode. CAUTION The external contacts may operate while the Detector is in test mode. Before changing the Detector to test mode, set the Detector to maintenance mode as required.
