SENSOR SIGNAL ADJUST: Sets the signal of sensor S1/S2 to match preset LO alarm trip point. (See Figure 3-1) 10. PROGRAMMING SWITCHES: Allows user to configure the alarm delay and timer circuits, audio alarm activation, and acknowledge switch function.
  • Page 9: Installation

    2.1 LOCATION AND INSTALLATION OF MONITOR Care should be taken to securely fasten the AMC-1032 monitor unit on a solid, non- vibrating surface or structure at 2 feet 11 inches to 3 feet 11 inches from floor. Install the unit in an area where the local concentration of gas is unaffected by the presence of ventilation systems and away from sources of interference gases.
