User Manual
Note
The base station can operate from either an electrical power
source or batteries. The batteries will provide automatic
backup power if the main power fails.
1. Connect the power cord to the POWER port on the base station
and then plug the cord into an AC outlet.
To install the batteries, refer to
2. Connect the charger cord to the CHARGER port on the base
station and then plug the cord into an AC outlet (if charging
detectors with the docking modules).
3. Attach all gas connections. Inlet 1 (PURGE) is configured for
ambient air and inlets 2-5 are configured for calibration/test
gases. Refer to
If not using the base station in a fresh air environment, use a
zero air gas cylinder for Inlet 1.
4. Connect the demand flow regulator. A demand flow regulator
must be used with all gas cylinder connections.
5. Ensure the exhaust line is not connected to a negative pressure
system.
For AC main installation, a circuit breaker must be integrated in the building installation as a disconnect device for the base station.
The disconnect device must be installed in close proximity to the base
station and must be marked as a disconnecting method for the base station.
