USE INSTRUCTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Each person using this equipment must read and understand the information in these User Instructions before use. Use of this
equipment by untrained or unqualified persons, or use that is not in accordance with these User Instructions, may adversely affect
product performance and result in sickness or death.
Use For
The TX-6-AM provides Ammonia detection and automatic exhaust fan control for industrial refrigeration, warehouses, hockey rinks or
other commercial applications. Ammonia or NH3, is a colorless gas with a pungent, suffocating odor. Note: Shipped as a liquefied
compressed gas - easily liquefied under pressure. The TX-6-AM is designed to meet the NIOSH and OSHA standards for Ammonia
exposure limits. TX-6-AM can be used stand alone, with the Macurco DVP-120 Detection and Ventilation Control Panel, other 12 VAC
or 24 VDC fire/security panels or building automation systems.
Use only for monitoring the gas which the sensor and instrument are designed to monitor. Failure to do so may result in exposures to
gases not detectable and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Technical Service at 1-
877-367-7891.
Do Not Use For
The TX-6-AM is not intended for use in hazardous locations. Do not mount the TX-6-AM where the normal ambient temperature is
below 0°F or exceeds 125°F (below -18C or above 52C). The TX-6-AM mounts on a 4x4 electrical box supplied by the contractor. Do
not install the TX-6-AM inside another box unless it has good air flow through it.
This equipment may not function effectively below 0F or above 125F (-18C or above 52C). Using the detector outside of this
temperature range may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death.
General Description
The TX-6-AM is a low voltage, dual relay Ammonia (AM) detector and automatic ventilation controller. The TX-6-AM uses a
microcomputer controlled, electronic system to measure the concentration of Ammonia, actuate relays and provide a 4-20mA output.
The TX-6-AM has a field replaceable, electrochemical sensor (expected life of 2+ years) and optional gas test and calibration kits. The
TX-6-AM is a low level meter capable of displaying from 0-100ppm of Ammonia.
