It is the only sensor that skips the first span calibration menu screen. ADDING OR CHANGING PLUG-AND-PLAY SENSORS The IEQ Chek accommodates up to seven sensors. Two of those sensors are temperature and relative humidity and these sensors are permanently installed in all instruments. - Page 31 IEQ Chek Operation Manual All IEQ Chek gas sensors are plug-and-play smart sensors. They can be added or changed at any time. The procedure to add or change a sensor is as follows. Figure 7-1. Transmitter Circuit Board With Four Sensors Installed NOTE: If the newly installed sensor is not zero adjusted after installation, the display may indicate a slight reading of the target gas even in a clean environment.
- Page 32 IEQ Chek Operation Manual Step Procedure to Add/Change a Sensor If another sensor is to be installed in its place, ensure it is of the same type (electrochemical, infrared, PID/Catalytic), to be accommodated by the sensor location recently vacated. Carefully grasp the new sensor by the sides and line up all of the pins on the smart sensor board attached to the bottom of the sensor with the sockets on the transmitter board.

, PID, or catalytic gas sensor. MAINTENANCE Externally, the IEQ Chek requires only cleaning with a damp cloth, wiping off the exterior surface and basic inspection for obvious damage or problems. Internally, sensors should be maintained because they have a specific life span. As they age, they must be calibrated (zero and span adjusted) for accuracy. -
