  • Page 3: Safety Information - Read First

    Axiom A2L Leak Detector User Manual Safety Information – Read First Read and understand this manual in conjunction with the relevant data sheet before using the Axiom detector. When Axiom is employed to detect flammable gas, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the product is used safely in accordance with local regulations concerning explosive safety.
  • Page 4: Detector Warm-Up

    Axiom A2L Leak Detector User Manual Detector warm-up The detector takes approximately 45 seconds to warm up after power is supplied. The detector is held at -250% of the full-scale output during this time. In 4-20mA mode, the output will be forced to 2.5mA and the Open Collector Output will be active during this time.
  • Page 5: 0-5V Mode

    Axiom A2L Leak Detector User Manual 0.2-4.0V Mode The analogue output range is 0.2V to 4V for zero gas to FSD. The table below shows the analogue output for a detector that is configured in 0.2-4.0V mode. Gas Reading (% of detector range) Analogue output (V) 0.20 0.40...
  • Page 6: Logic Levels

    Axiom A2L Leak Detector User Manual Serial communications The detector has UART and RS485 interfaces, allowing communication with multiple devices in a serial manner. The serial interface allows the user to monitor gas levels, temperature, and other parameters. The communications protocol used is Modbus. Please consult the separate Modbus protocol user guide for full details.
  • Page 7: Fault Indication

    Axiom A2L Leak Detector User Manual Fault indication The analogue output is driven to the fault level when an internal fault is detected. Voltage output The 0.2-4.0V output will be driven to 0V in the event of a fault. 4-20mA The 4-20mA output will be driven to 2.5mA in the event of a fault.
  • Page 8: Calibration

    Axiom A2L Leak Detector User Manual Calibration Axiom A2L detectors do not require field calibration. Maintenance Dynament infrared detectors, like any other detectors, require regular maintenance in terms of inspection to prevent a build-up of dust or dirt or any other contamination that might prevent gas from entering the detector.

    Axiom A2L Leak Detector User Manual Using the Open Collector Output to Drive a Relay Axiom’s Open Collector output can be used to drive a relay when connected as shown below. To do this, use the connect the relay coil between the Open Collector output (D-) and a 5V supply. On alarm or fault the Open collector output will be driven low, completing the circuit through the coil, and energising the relay.
  • Page 15: Axiom Diagnostic Tool

    Axiom A2L Leak Detector User Manual Axiom Diagnostic Tool (ADT) Axiom Diagnostic Tool (ADT) requires USB-C to USB PC cable connection. Axiom diagnostic information is available through a PC application, providing real time gas reading, access to configuration settings (baud rate, Modbus address) and detailed fault information to assist with service and maintenance.
