6. Installation and Wiring DANGER This product is not explosion-proof and thus should not be installed in a hazardous area. WARNING For detection of highly adsorptive gas (e.g., HF and F ), remove the filter element (FE-1) from the filter unit (MF-50). Correct detection is not possible if the filter element is present. Refer to 9-1.
CAUTION Install the gas detector in a place free from impact and vibration. Do not install in the vicinity of equipment that can generate high frequencies or a magnetic field. Do not use a gas collector in a confined space (e.g., inside a duct). ...

Gas alarm contact (ZA1) (closed (closed (open position) (open position) position) position) Gas alarm contact (ZA2) (closed (open position)
7-2. Gas Alarm Operation If the gas concentration exceeds the gas alarm set value, the alarm contacts will activate after the alarm delay time, the red ALARM LED will start flashing, and ALARM1 or ALARM1+ALARM2 will be shown on the LCD. Note: During the alarm delay time, ALARM1 or ALARM1+ALARM2 flash on the LCD, the alarm contact does not activate and the red ALARM LED does not flash.
7-3. Trouble Alarm Operation This unit can detect an internal failure. When an internal failure is detected, a trouble alarm will activate (open collector is normally ON (closed position) and in the event of a trouble alarm it switches to OFF (open position)).
Page 30
CAUTION Oxygen sensor (COS-7): The analog output from this product falls to 0.6 mA or less in the event of a trouble alarm as listed above. When the host system (e.g., control room) is set to the low limit alarm (gas alarm activates when the gas concentration falls to the alarm set value or less) and if the product’s analog output falls to 0.6 mA or less in under a second without a gas alarm, it means that a trouble alarm is present.
7-4. Test Mode Setting Use the test stick to press the TEST switch to enter the test mode. The TEST switch is pressed to turn the test mode on and off. The test mode will automatically end in 10 minutes. Increase/decrease the analog output value using UP/DOWN button.
7-5. Maintenance Mode Setting The MNT switch has three modes — maintenance mode 1 (MNT1), maintenance mode 2 (MNT2), and normal operation mode (gas-monitoring mode). Set the MNT switch to MNT1 or MNT2 on the base unit’s front, accordingly ―MNT1‖ or ―MNT2‖ will be shown on the LCD.
8. Maintenance This gas detector requires no on-site gas calibration. Each sensor unit is gas-calibrated when shipped. Replace the sensor unit with a new one every 6 months, except for combustible gas sensor units (CHS-7). Routine checks are to be carried out by the user. 6-month and 3-year periodic inspections are to be performed by the user, New Cosmos or its authorized representative.
Page 34
(2) Sampling gas flow rate (flow-rate icon check) Check that the flow-rate icon (at the top-right corner of the LCD) is quickly spinning. Refer to 7-1.9 ―Check the flow rate of the sampled gas.‖ If the flow-rate icon slowly spins or stops, check the filter element for contaminants. If the filter element (FE-1) is dirty, replace it with a new one.

9. Consumable Replacement This product has been designed such that its consumable parts can be easily replaced by the user. To order, contact New Cosmos or its authorized representative. 9-1. Filter Element Replacement If the filter element (FE-1) is dirty, replace it with a new one by using the following steps: 1.
9-2. Sensor Unit Installation/Replacement WARNING Check that the target gas type and full scale value are correct before using a sensor unit. Also, check that the sensor expiration date has not been reached. Note: The expiration year/month is not indicated on a combustible gas sensor (CHS-7). CAUTION ...

6. Pull forward and hold the latches at both sides and connect the main unit by sliding it onto the rails of the base unit. (2) Align with the rail and slide on Rail (1) Pull forward and hold the latches at both sides (unlock position) 7.
9-3. Sampling Unit Replacement CAUTION Turn off the gas detector before sampling unit replacement. Setting the main unit’s power switch to the OFF position will generate a trouble alarm output (open collector is opened (OFF)). If the trouble alarm output is used to operate the interlocks, etc. of the external devices, release the interlocks, etc.
Page 41
4. Connect the two connectors. Mate the sampling unit and front panel. Insert the sensor unit and install the rear cover. Front panel Rear cover Ensure that cables are not caught WARNING If the sensor unit is not completely inserted, an airtight seal will not be created, and correct gas detection will not be possible.
9-4. Activated Chacoal Filter Installation/Replacement WARNING Only use an activated charcoal filter when the target gas is NF CAUTION Replace the activated charcoal filter’s inner sleeve (KF-6S-Y1) at the time of replacing the sensor unit. Turn off the gas detector before filter installation/replacement. Setting the main unit’s power switch to the OFF position will generate a trouble alarm output (open collector is opened (OFF)).
10. Troubleshooting Before requesting for repair, please refer to the table below. If the detector does not return to normal operation after performing the corresponding steps in the table, or if your issue is not found in the table, consult New Cosmos or its authorized representative.

Detection Principle 13-1. Electrochemical Sensor This sensor consists of three electrodes and an electrolyte, and the method adopted here is to produce electrolytic oxidation with a potentiostat circuit while keeping the working electrode at a constant potential against the reference electrode. Measuring the current generated here allows determining the concentration of the gas (e.g., H S, CO).
14. Glossary Term Definition Device used to detect the presence of a target gas and to give Gas detector its concentration in the form of an electrical signal. Target gas Specific gas to be detected, concentration displayed, and used to trigger alarms. A gas concentration value that is set on a gas detector for Alarm set value alarm activation.
