Cleaning
Cleaning of the external surfaces is best carried out using a damp cloth with a mild detergent or soap. Use a vacuum cleaner with soft
brush to remove dust or contamination under the cover. Do not blow out the sensor with compressed air.
TESTING
Using a certified gas with a concentration other than the one listed for this detector when conducting a calibration or calibration
verification test (bump test) will produce inaccurate readings. This means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present
and could result in overexposure and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Technical
Service at 1-877-367-7891
General
All TX-12-AM units are factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation. During normal operation the green status indicator LED
light will be on steady, the fan & alarm relay will be in standby mode and the 4-20 mA output will be at 4mA (in clean air).The unit also
performs a regular automatic self-test during normal operation. If the unit detects an improper voltage or inoperable component, it will
default into Error mode. In this error mode, the Alarm relay will be activated, the 4-20 mA current loop will go to 24 mA, the unit will
display the error code, the green status indicator LED light will flash and the buzzer will chirp intermittently. The Fan relay will also
engage if the Trouble Fan Setting Option is set to “ON”.
Operation Test
Check that the green TX-12-AM status indicator LED light is illuminated continuously. If not, do not proceed with the tests. If the unit is
in error mode contact your local representative or Macurco technical service representative for information on resolving the problem.
1. Remove the single screw in the middle of the front cover of the TX-12-AM.
2. Remove the front cover.
3. Observe the LED light on the front of the TX-12-AM.
4. If the light is solid green proceed to step 6.
5. If the green status indicator LED light is off or flashing, refer to the General section above.
6. Locate the switch labeled ENTER/TEST on the left side of the printed circuit board. Push the Test switch once.
7. The TX-12-ND will step through a cycle test:
a) The display progresses through the brt (buzzer test), Art (alarm relay test), Frt (fan relay test) then 42t (4-20
mA output test).
b) During the first 3 seconds of the test cycle, the Buzzer will sound
c) During the next 5 seconds of the test cycle, the Alarm relay will be closed, so any devices connected to that
relay will be tested.
d) The Fan relay will be activated for the next 1 minute of the test, so if the fan circuits are wired in the normal
manner, the fan should run.
