Page 17: Maintenance
SENSOR REPLACEMENT The sensor elements used in the GASMAX CS detects gas in either % or PPM concentrations; this element must be fully functional for the system to operate correctly. GDS Corp recommends replacing the sensing element whenever a slow response to gas is observed during the normal calibration process. - Page 18 Press the ADD button to power-up the GASMAX CS BATTERY REPLACEMENT The GASMAX CS battery life will vary based on the sensor type and the presence of gas that will increase the radio transmission rate (and decrease this battery life) It is recommended that the batteries be replaced when the voltage reported is 3.2 volts or less.
