a. Gas cylinder is empty, check the pressure gauge. Replace the gas cylinder if 25-psi or less.
b. Detector has 4-20 mA option set to "OFF". Set 4-20mA option to "On" and repeat the test.
c. Detector needs servicing (return unit to factory for servicing).
7.
Remove the gas from the sensor. Re-assemble the RD-12 (make sure the LED is aligned with the front case hole). 4-20 current
loop test is complete.
Quick Gas Test
A butane cigarette lighter can be used to perform a functionality test of the RD-12. This test allows installers to do a quick functionality
test of the gas sensor.
1.
Units to be tested must be powered continuously for a minimum of 3 minutes before proceeding.
2.
For optimum test results, the unit should be in clean air and be in a low ambient air flow.
3.
Check that the RD-12 status indicator light is illuminated, green continuously. If not, do not proceed with tests. See RD-12
Trouble Indicator section in these User Instructions.
4.
The display option should be set to "On" and reading 0 ppm in clean air.
5.
With the RD-12 cover on, aim the lighter into the sensor grate area (under "DO NOT PAINT") on the front cover and release the
gas (without igniting the flame) for 1 second or less
6.
Wait for a few seconds. The digital display should climb indicating the increased gas concentration at the sensor confirming a
pass of the quick test.
Note: If the Display does not change within 10 seconds, consider these possibilities:
a.
Lighter is empty.
b.
Detector needs servicing (return unit to factory for servicing).
7.
Wait for the display to return to 0 ppm and configure options to desired settings.
