h) Exit back to normal operations by holding the programming magnet over “PGM 2” for 3 seconds, or automati-

cally return to normal operation in 30 seconds.

i) Replace the junction box cover on the remote sensor enclosure.

Bridge voltage set is complete. This procedure need only be done once after initial power up.

3.6.3 Initial Operational Tests

After a warm up period has been allowed for, the sensor should be checked to verify sensitivity to combustible gas.

Material Requirements

* Detcon PN 6132 Threaded Calibration Adapter

* Span Gas 50% LEL methane in air at a controlled flow rate of 200 ml/min.

NOTE: If the sensor has been configured for calibration with a gas other than methane you will need to use

that gas. See section 3.7 for further information on calibration gas.

a) Attach the calibration adapter to the threaded sensor housing. Apply the test gas at a controlled flow rate of

200 ml/m. Observe that the LCD display increases to a level of 20% or higher.

b) Remove the test gas and observe that the LCD display decreases to “0 % LEL”

c) If alarms are activated during the test, and have been programmed for latching operation, reset them according to

the instructions in section 3.10.2.

Initial operational tests are complete. Detcon combustible gas sensors are pre-calibrated prior to shipment and will,

in most cases, not require significant adjustment on start up. However, it is recommended that a complete calibra-

tion test and adjustment be performed within 24 hours of installation. Refer to calibration instructions in later text.

3.7 TARGET GAS AND CALIBRATION GAS SELECTION

Because of the catalytic detector elements almost universal response to lower explosive limits of combustible gas,

the FP-624C sensor can be configured to specifically detect any of the combustible gases listed in table 1. This spe-

cific gas is referred to as the “target gas”. In addition, the sensor can be configured so that it can be calibrated with

any of the listed gases, regardless of which target gas is selected. This gas is referred to as the “calibration gas”. These

two features allow a significant degree of flexibility in the detection and calibration process.

Unless otherwise specified at time of order, Model FP-624C combustible gas sensors are configured to detect

methane gas in the range 0-100% LEL and are calibrated with 50% LEL methane in air. In this configuration,

methane is chosen as both the target gas and the calibration gas.

CAUTION:

Verification of specific target gas and calibration gas settings is required before commissioning.

To verify target gas and calibration gas settings, or to reconfigure the target gas or calibration gas, follow the

instructions below.

3.7.1 The “K” Factor

Most detectable gases, as listed in table 1, produce a similar output, however the signal amplitudes will differ. This

difference in amplitude is reflected by a numeric figure known as a “K factor”. The K factors are referenced to

methane which has a K factor of 1.00. It should be noted that these factors are theoretical and should only be used

as a guide to the response expected in other gases.

3.7.2 Verification of Target Gas and Calibration Gas Configuration

Verification of target gas and calibration gas configuration is obtained via interaction with the menu driven display

which requires the use of a programming magnet.
