The adjustment operations in this paragraph are reserved for authorized, trained personnel because they may compromise detection reliability. Gas detectors are safety devices. TELEDYNE OLDHAM SIMTRONICS recommends the regular testing of fixed gas detection installations. This type of test consists of injecting the calibration gas into the detector at a sufficient concentration to activate the pre-set alarms.

CTX 300 ANALOGIC GAS DETECTOR USER MANUAL • Adjust the sensitivity by using the sensitivity potentiometer located on the sensor pack (rep. 1). • Stop injecting the calibration gas. • Remove the gas injection pipe, then wait and verify that the signal returns to zero. Repeat procedure if it does not.

CTX 300 ANALOGIC GAS DETECTOR USER MANUAL 5.1.4 CTX 300 calibration (for Semiconductor) Semiconductor This is a type sensor. • Flip the switch (rep. 1) into the CAL position. Figure 23 • Ensure that the sensor is in clean air, otherwise inject synthetic air into it using the calibration kit and referring to the recommendations below.
The user therefore has an obligation to separate the CTX 300 sensor from other waste to ensure that it is recycled safely for the environment. For further details on existing collection sites, contact the local administration or seller of the product.
