Intended Use
The CME1-FTG is an 11L 500 ppm Aerosol Carbon Monoxide Field Test Gas that can be used with the
Macurco CM-E1 and CM-6 CO detectors. This field test gas allows installers to do a quick functionality test of
the CO sensor. The flow rate of the CME1-FTG is 10 Lpm so you will have about a minute of gas or enough to
test 20-30 sensors.
Specifications
CME1-FTG Carbon Monoxide Field Test Gas 11L 500ppm CO/Air, Aerosol, 10LPM
Field Test Procedures CM-6
Caution:
Units to be tested must be powered continuously for a minimum of 3 minutes before proceeding.
For optimum test results the unit should be in clean air and be in a low ambient air flow.
Check that the CM-6 status indicator light is illuminated, Green continuously. If not, do not proceed
with tests. See CM-6 Trouble Indicator section.
1. The display option should be set to "On" and reading 0 ppm in clean air.
2. With the cover in place, direct the gas into the housing by placing the nozzle of the aerosol can onto the
sensor grate area (under DO NOT PAINT) and press for 2 to 3 seconds.
3. Wait for a few seconds. The digital display should climb indicating the increased CO concentration at the
sensor confirming a pass of the quick test.
Note: If the Display does not change within 10 seconds, there are four possibilities:
a. The gas is empty, expired or degraded, replace the gas cylinder.
b. The gas was not directed into the housing (direct the gas into the housing by placing the nozzle of
the aerosol can onto the sensor grate area and re-test).
c. Unit needs to be re-calibrated (go through the Field Calibration Procedure and re-test).
4. Wait for the display to return to 0 ppm and configure options to desired settings.
