Starting up for the first time WARNING! Engine protection not guaranteed Danger of explosion The Gas Monitoring System may only be started up after all the components have been completely attached. If the device as been stored in a cold place (T<0 °C) before starting up for the first time, wait until the device has reached ambient temperature before starting it up.
In this case, the GasMOS Service app displays the following error message: “MEASUREMENT FLOW BOUND ERROR”. On the device display, the “System ready” LED goes off and the “System failure” LED comes on. See Figure 40 for the start sequence of the device. After switching on, the system runs through a boot sequence.
Operation and use Operating statuses Figure 41 lists and describes the operating statuses of the GasMOS measuring system. System System Sensor Service Warning Button Status ready failure ready required notice Measuring mode operating mode Device “Off” Self-diagnosis/environmental air calibration/maintenance Methane warning Error Measuring measured value for methane, oxygen active.
Before Operation mode is active when the device is first started, a boot sequence and a subsequent self-check (“SELF_CHECK”) runs first. Figure 43: GasMOS front panel in Operation mode In normal measuring mode, the “System ready” and “Sensor ready” LEDs are on.
Methane concentration warning The “Warning notice” LED comes on and the illuminated ring around the “METHANE CONCENTRATION CONFIRMATION” button flashes red. The “System ready” LED goes off. If the warning threshold stored on the device is exceeded, the alarm on the Gas Monitoring System must be reset manually to the ready-to-operate status.
“Self-diagnosis” mode Self-diagnosis is carried out at regular intervals from “Operation” mode. Self-diagnosis also runs on the following events: Return from “MAINTENANCE” mode • Periodic triggering from “ERROR” mode • In this case, the “System ready” LED on the device display goes off (Figure 45). Figure 45 Sensor OK, system not ready Figure 46 shows the self-check sequence.
