Introduction
This Quick Start Guide explains how to install the A50 Carbon Dioxide
Detector. For more information on operation and maintenance, refer
to the A50 Carbon Dioxide Detector User Manual P0204-8000. This is
available to download from www.analoxsensortechnology.com.

1. Install the Main Unit

NOTE: CARBON DIOXIDE GAS (CO2) IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND SHOULD BE
MONITORED FROM A LOW HEIGHT. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE INSTALL
THE CO2 SENSOR AT A HEIGHT OF 12–18" (305–457MM) ABOVE THE
FLOOR LEVEL.
NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, IF THERE IS A LARGE VARIANCE BETWEEN
WHERE UNITS ARE STORED AND WHERE THEY ARE INSTALLED, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT UP TO 2 HOURS IS ALLOWED AFTER INSTALLATION
BEFORE APPLYING POWER. THIS IS TO ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURE
STABILIZATION IN THE UNIT WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR DEVICE
ACCURACY.
If fitted, retain the clear protective film on
the fascia until the installation is complete.
Using the drilling template mark out and
drill the wall-fixing positions
ensuring the main unit is level. Then fit the
wall plugs.
Secure the main unit to the wall using the
supplied No.6 self tapping screws.

2. Fitting the Repeater

If fitted, retain the clear protective film on the fascia until the installation is complete.
Using the drilling template, mark out and drill the wall-fixing position then install the
wall plugs and fit the unit.
Secure the repeater to the wall using the supplied No.6 self tapping screws.
The Remote Alarm Repeater
should be located at eye level
and attached to the outside or
immediately inside the access
door.

3. Connecting the Repeater - Hard Wired

1] Make sure the A50 is not powered
up.
2] Open the Remote Alarm Repeater
unit by removing the 4 screws in the
front of the case and carefully pulling
the case apart. The connecting wires
from the A50 pass through one of the
cable glands on the Remote Alarm
Repeater.
3] Terminate the wires in accordance
with the table.
4] Replace the lid of the Remote Alarm
Repeater and refit the 4 screws.
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE ENTRANCE TO YOUR CELLAR OR STORE
ROOM YOU MAY NEED MORE THAN ONE REMOTE ALARM REPEATER. UP
TO THREE REPEATERS CAN BE DAISY CHAINED (ONE REPEATER LINKED TO
ANOTHER) COVERING UP TO THREE ENTRANCE DOORS.

4. Connecting the Repeater - Quick Connect

1] Make sure the A50 is not powered up.
2] Insert the connector on the end of the wire into either socket on the bottom of
the Remote Alarm Repeater.
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE ENTRANCE TO YOUR CELLAR OR STORE
ROOM YOU MAY NEED MORE THAN ONE REMOTE ALARM REPEATER. UP
TO THREE REPEATERS CAN BE DAISY CHAINED (ONE REPEATER LINKED TO
ANOTHER) COVERING UP TO THREE ENTRANCE DOORS.

5. Powering Up

Once the repeater(s) have been connected, simply plug the mains cable coming from
the main unit into an available socket and turn on, the A50 will perform a self test for
approximately 40 seconds.
During normal operation, the OK status indicator will flash on and off, thus indicating
that the system is operating correctly. The OK status indicator on any Remote Alarm
Repeaters will also flash on and off.
6. Lamp & Alarm Test
Momentarily pressing the Mode button on either the A50 or any Remote Alarm
Repeater, in the absence of any alarm conditions, causes a lamp and alarm test to be
performed. The status indicators will flash 4 times, together with the horn. This test
should be carried out each time the area is entered or at the start of each shift.
