Chapter 2 | Introduction General Information CTX300 CO gas detectors are designed to measure carbon dioxide. With robust materials, a specifically-adapted design, appropriate accessories, stainless bolts and a polyamide case (IP54), CTX 300 detectors are designed to withstand the roughest conditions. Figure 1: overview of a CTX 300 with display (left) and without display (right).
CTX300 CO versions In the case of a CTX 300 for the CO detection, this manual can only be used for devices delivered since July 2015. P/N : 6314124 P/N : 6514879 P/N : 6514880 P/N : 6514881 P/N : 6514882 Figure 2: CTX 300 CO detector Figure 3: CTX 300 CO...
Chapter 3 | Installation and connection Installing the detectors Layout While the measuring sensor is always located on the underside of the detector, several factors determine where the detector should be located: ■ If the gas being measured is lighter than the air, place the detector near the ceiling. ■...

CTX 300 without display ■ Unscrew the 4 screws (ref. 1). ■ Remove the cover (rep. 2). ■ Proceed to wire the sensor according to the terminal location. Figure 12 CTX 300 User manual...
Chapter 4 | Powering up and use Powering up ■ The sensor turns on when connected to a power supply. ■ If the sensor has a display, the green LED will be lit (ref. 2) and a value will appear on the display screen (ref. 1). Figure 13 4-20 mA analog output For CTX 300 sensors, the 4-20 mA output current is proportional to the gas level.
The adjustment operations in this paragraph are reserved for authorized, trained personnel because they may compromise detection reliability Gas detectors are safety devices. OLDHAM 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.

30% of the measurement range at a minimum). The recommended rate is 60 l/h. Note: when dealing with dangerous gases, you MUST consult a specialized Oldham technician or use another sensor pack recently pre-calibrated at a factory.

CTX 300 calibration case: CTX 300 with display ■ The sensor is operating: the green light (ref. 1) is lit and the display screen shows the measurement level. Figure 15 ■ Verify that the sensor is located in a clean-air environment. If not, inject synthetic air at a flow rate of 60 l/h.

case: CTX 300 without display ■ The sensor is operating. ■ Verify that the sensor is located in a clean-air environment. calibration follow recommendations. ■ Connect a voltmeter to the AF+ and AF- terminals (caliber mV/DC). Figure 17 ■ Wait for the signal to stabilize and adjust the zero by using the ZERO potentiometer located on the sensor pack (Figure 18, ref.
Page 22
■ Adjust the displayed value using the potentiometer (Figure 18, rep.1). Example sensor. Scale 0-5000 ppm. Standard gas concentration: 3000 ppm. Reading: 1360 mV. ■ Shut off the calibration gas injection. ■ Withdraw the gas injection pipe. ■ Then wait and check that the scale has returned to zero.
Checking the current generator Although this setting is made in the factory, it is possible that the transmitter and controller may have to be matched. In this case, proceed as follows: ■ Connect a voltmeter to the AF+ and terminals (caliber mV/DC) (Figure 19).
Replacing a sensor Sensors must be replaced: ■ When calibration is no longer possible (no sensitivity); ■ During preventative maintenance. The replacement sensor should be identical to the original sensor (same gas, same range). After a sensor has been replaced, a calibration or test (for pre-calibrated sensors) must be conducted.
