7. Operation 7.1. Operation procedure IMPORTANT Initial start-up procedure can be extremely dangerous because it uses actual gas (e.g., combustible gas, toxic gas). It is highly recommended that New Cosmos or an authorized representative should be contacted to perform the initial start-up. The accuracy of the checks and adjustments made during this start-up (e.g., zero/span adjustments, operation checks using actual gas) are crucial to ensure the reliability of the gas alarm system.
(3) Battery check It is possible to check if the backup batteries function normally by pressing the Batt. Check button for 5 seconds. When the batteries are good, the green Batt.Check LED will turn on. The battery level may not be at required level before the initial power-up. About 24 hours is needed to fully charge the batteries.
8. Maintenance 8.1. Routine check and annual/semi-annual inspection Perform routine checks and periodic inspections as given in the table below. Item Frequency Procedure ・ POWER LEDs Check that all the green POWER LEDs (on indicator/alarm/backup power units) are on and steady and that the system operates. ・...
8.2. Backup Battery Replacement This product uses two backup batteries. DANGER Do not install the product or the batteries in a confined space or near a fire. Doing so may result in hydrogen gas being generated from the batteries, which could cause a fire or an explosion.
