Warm-up When power is applied to the SEC 3100, it enters a one (1) minute warm-up mode. The output current will be 0.8 mA during the warmup time period. At the end of the warm-up period with no faults present, the SEC 3100 automatically enters the normal operating mode (4.0 mA with no gas present).
Hard Fault or Unit Zero with gas IV. MAGNETIC SWITCH OPERATION The SEC 3100 has three (3) magnetic switch pickups on the Display PCB. The picture below shows the location of the magnetic switches labeled UP, DOWN and ENTER. Placing a magnet in close proximity to one of the switches will cause the following operations to occur.

DATE TIME Selecting Enter for the Self Test will make the sensor generate a 4-20 mA input into the SEC 3100 from 4 mA to 20 mA (0-fullscale). In the self test mode the SEC 3100 outputs are fully functional. The SEC 3100 will display the rising gas level, the 4-20 mA output will increase to 20 mA, the relays will actuate and the RS485 information will be transmitted to the control system.
