d. The 4-20mA output will then ramp up from 4 to 20 mA over the next 130 seconds of the test,
so if the circuit is wired in the normal manner, the control panel or building automation system
should respond.
e. At the end of the test cycle, the light will turn green and be on steady (Normal Operation), the
fan & alarm relay will be in standby mode and the 4-20 mA output will return to 4 mA (in clean
air).
8. When testing is completed reassemble the unit or units.
Manual Operation Test
This option gives the user the opportunity to manually initiate an individual test for each relay, the analog output
and the sensor response to gas. From normal operation mode press the Next button 3 times to get to the Test
Mode (tSt). Press the Enter button once to get into the Test Menu. Press the Next button to scroll through the
four test options and press Enter to initiate the selected test. Note that if the relay or 4–20 mA output has been
disabled, the test selection will not be displayed in the test menu.
Art - Alarm Relay Test, 10 seconds
Frt - Fan Relay Test, 60 seconds
42t - 420 loop test, 25 seconds
gtS - Gas Test, 3 minutes (no output to the panel during the gas test)
The display will flash during the test, or in the case of the gas test, the gas level will alternate with gtS. Once
the test is complete, the display will return to steady display. To exit the test menu, press the Next buttonuntil
“End” is displayed then, press Enter to return to normal mode.
Carbon Monoxide Gas Test
The following steps must be performed when conducting a calibration or calibration verification test (bump test) to ensure proper
performance of the monitor. Failure to do so may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death.
When performing a calibration or calibration verification test (bump test) only use certified calibration gas at the
required concentration level. Do not calibrate with expired calibration gas.
If the instrument cannot be calibrated, do not use until the reason can be determined and corrected.
Do not cover or obstruct display or visual alarm cover.
Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and is free of debris
General
A Field Calibration Kit, CM6-FCK, is needed to complete a CO gas test. These are available through your local
representative or from Macurco.
Contents of the FCK
CM6-FCK: (2) Gas Cylinders, (1) 17L 50ppm carbon monoxide (CO) in air and (1) 17L 200 ppm carbon
monoxide (CO) in air
Gas regulator with about two feet of plastic tubing
Humidifier
CM-6-CH calibration hood
FCK Information
Several detectors can be calibrated with one FCK. The only limitation is the amount of gas in the cylinder. The
17 liter cylinder has approximately 85 minutes of continuous calibration run time. Replacement cylinders are
available. The gas cylinder should be replaced when the pressure gauge on the regulator shows 25-psi or less.
Note: For optimum test results it is suggested that the unit be in clean air, green light on, and be in a low
ambient air flow
