    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.
