1. INTRODUCTION Sensotox 2 EC uses an electrochemical sensor to detect oxygen and toxic gases. It works with voltages from 12 to 36 V dc with an analogue (4-20 mA) or digital (RS-485, ModBus) output. Sensotox2 is equipped with flameproof enclosure, and this may be blind or have a window with a display for reading the gas concentration, status LEDs and magnetic keys for configuration.
Sensotox 2 PID uses a sensor to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It works with voltages from 12 to 36 V dc with an analogue (4- 20 mA) or digital (RS-485, ModBus) output. Sensotox2 is equipped with flameproof enclosure, and this may be blind or have a window with a display for reading the gas concentration, status LEDs and magnetic keys for configuration.

2.2.2 Uninstalling Before dismantling, make sure that power is disconnected. 1. Unscrew the cover by rotating it anti-clockwise. 2. If the unit has a display, remove the four fixing screws and then the ribbon cable connector of the display. 3. Disconnect the power connectors and communication/relay connectors.
2. Connect the Sensotox 2 cables via the connection holes. The pins correspond to the following table: Terminal Cable Pin# Block 1 Common alarm (*) Low Alarm (*) High Alarm / Fault (*) RS485A RS485B Block 2 4-20 mA output...

2.3 Display and User Interface 2.3.1 User interface All Sensotox 2 devices with a window are equipped with four status LEDs, a four-digit LCD display and three magnetic keys [+], [MODE] and [-]. ZERO SPAN FAULT LOW HIGH + Mode - The blind Sensotox 2 have a small seven segments display with three mechanical keys: [+], [MODE] and [-] on the main board.
2.3.2 Magnetic key The Sensotox 2 with window has no external keys, but uses the magnet to activate keys inside the unit. Place the magnet over the key to activate the desired button. 2.3.3 Using the magnet Briefly touch the magnet onto the MODE circle or the [+] and [-] triangles.
2.3.5 Display readout In the detectors with window, once the detector goes into read mode, it starts an automatic check for possible faults and alarm conditions. If there is no fault or alarm condition, the green "Ok" LED is activated and the gas concentration is shown.
2 should be checked by exposing the sensor to a known concentration of gas over a period of time Sensotox 2 units are calibrated using a two-point calibration process. First, use the "Zero calibration", then the "SPAN calibration" exposing the sensor to a reference gas concentration to establish the second calibration point.
Sensotox 2 connected to a calibration gas cylinder with an adapter. 2.4.1 Calibration I - Zero calibration 1. Ensure that there are no flammable gases or gases that might interfere with the sensor reading in the area where the detector is located.

Tip: To exit the calibration menu, press [-] to return the normal reading. Note: It is not necessary to exit from the calibration menu manually. After 60 seconds of inactivity, the Sensotox 2 automatically returns to the normal reading. 2. Press [+] to start calibration.
Sensotox 2 will return to the normal reading. 6. Turn off the Span calibration gas cylinder and remove it. On the event of a failed calibration, call Sensotran Service at +34 93 478 58 42 or follow the Sensor Replacement Instructions 2.5 Sensor replacement...
