Never adjust electric connections when detectors are powered. Maintenance must be undertaken by qualified staff. Observe safety site rules. The MultiXplo and MultiTox are sensors with standard current output (4-20mA or 0-22mA). The connection can be on 3 or 4 wires. The 4 wires configuration allows insulation between the signal and power loops.

The permanent inhibition is activated by an order issued by the TLU when an operation is performed at/or around the device, or when the operator wants to inhibit a faulty device. The permanent inhibition must be removed by an operator’s deliberate action using the TLU. MultiXplo / MultiTox Page 33 / 60 NOSP15759-Rev 10...
6.5. Wireless communication tool TLU600 All settings and tests of detectors can be done by the wireless communication tool TLU600. This communication tool and its software are compatible with all Oldham Simtronics detectors: MultiFlame, MultiTox and MultiXplo. Communication is made via infrared link (IrDA), similar but more efficient than infrared links for computers.

The device then goes in warm-up mode (refer to §6.3) for 90s. The detector is in inhibition mode. The current output and the default relay (if factory configuration) are consequently activated. A warming-up timer starts to countdown from 90 sec. Then, the inhibition is released. MultiXplo / MultiTox Page 44 / 60 NOSP15759-Rev 10...
If the detection unit or the PLC signals a detector’s fault, the detector must be tested directly with the wireless communication tool to determine the type of fault.
