4.4 4-20mA Loop
In High Mode “HigH”, the output will correspond to the higher output of the two sensors. For example, a CO reading
of 50ppm corresponds to an output of 8mA and a NO
output in High Mode will be 12mA.
NOTE: High Mode should only be used when the detector is used as a standalone unit. Dual Mode must be used
when the detector is connected to a Macurco DVP control panel.
In Dual Mode “dUAL”, the current fluctuates between different values when measured using an ammeter. It will
represent the CO and NO
readings simultaneously by using a signal that is readable by a Macurco DVP panel.

Clean Air – With the 4-20 mA function turned “On” in “HigH” mode, and the current concentration of gases at “0”
(zero), the 4-20mA loop will output 4 mA.
reading of 10ppm corresponds to an output of 12mA. The
2
Gas read – With the 4-20 mA function turned “On” in “HigH” mode, the output will read between 4 mA and 20 mA
depending on the current concentration of gases.
Trouble – With the 4-20 mA function turned “On” in “HigH” mode and the Trouble Fan Setting enabled, the 4-20 mA
loop will output 1 mA or 24 mA depending on the Trouble condition. See Section 5.1 On-Board Diagnostics.

5 Troubleshooting
5.1 On-Board Diagnostics
The CX-xx monitors all critical functions of the unit through software diagnostics that continuously test and verify
unit operations. If a problem is found, the unit will switch to a fail-safe/error mode or trouble condition.
In this error mode, the Alarm relay will be activated, the 4-20 mA current loop will go to 24 mA, the unit will display
the error code, the green status indicator LED light will flash, and the buzzer will chirp intermittently. The Fan relay
will also engage if the Trouble Fan Setting Option is set to “On”. This is a safety precaution.
To clear this mode, simply turn off power to the unit for a few seconds or push the ENTER/TEST button (inside the
unit). This will cause the unit to restart the 1-minute self-test cycle.
5.1.1 4-20mA troubleshooting
NOTE: The output from the 4-20ma terminals is steady only when the 4-20mA mode is set to high mode. In dual
mode, fluctuating output will be observed when measured using an ammeter.
• 0 mA is most likely a connection problem
• 1 mA indicates Calibration Overdue (if 4-20mA is configured to ‘EnH’)
• 4-20 mA is normal gas reading range (0-200 ppm CO, 0-20 ppm NO
)
2
• 24 mA indicates a Trouble condition
5.1.2 Trouble Codes
If the detector encounters an error, a trouble code is displayed. The trouble code is displayed as “tXXX” where XXX is
a unique trouble code for each sensor. If a trouble code is larger than 800, it is for CO. If it is smaller than 800, it is
for NO
REV – 1.1 [34-2900-0512-0 ] 29 | Page
