2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MIDAS
®
gas detector is an extractive gas sampling system that draws a sample locally or from a remote
point to a sensor cartridge that is located inside the detector’s chassis. A wide range of toxic, flammable
and oxygen gas sensor cartridges are available that enable detection of gases used or generated in the
Semiconductor and other manufacturing industries.
MIDAS
®
is wall mounted and displays gas concentration, alarm, fault and status information via its backlit LCD
and LEDs. A simple to use 4-button keypad located under the display provides the facility to set-up, review,
operate and make changes to the detector’s configuration.
MIDAS
®
has flexible power and communications capabilities built in as standard. These include 3 on board
relays, 0-22 mA analog output, Modbus/TCP outputs for signal and service connectivity as well as the innovative
Power over Ethernet (PoE) protocol that enables a single Ethernet connection to be made for all power, control
and communication requirements.
3 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MIDAS
®
gas detector comprises of 4 parts: the main chassis, the mounting bracket assembly, the sensor
cartridge and the unit cover. Diagram 1 details the MIDAS
®
general arrangement. Additionally, there is an
optional Pyrolyzer module required for the detection of NF
3
and an optional Analog module for the connection of
external 4-20 mA devices. Please refer to section 10 and 11 respectively for details of these options.

3.1.2 Pump Module
The pump module is located at the back of the main chassis. It draws the gas sample from the inlet port located
at the bottom of the mounting bracket assembly via an inline filter to the sensor cartridge chamber located at
the front of the main chassis. The sample is then exhausted via the exhaust port located at the bottom of the
mounting bracket assembly. The pump and filter assemblies are designed for easy replacement. For replacement
details refer to sections 9.2 and 9.4 respectively.
3.1.3 Sensor Cartridge Chamber
The sensor cartridge chamber is located at the front of the main chassis below the display module. The plug in
sensor cartridge is fitted into this area which makes the electrical connection between the sensor cartridge and
the rest of the electronics as well as providing the chamber where the sensor cartridge is exposed to the sampled
gas. For details of fitting sensor cartridge refer to section 5.9.
3.2 Mounting Bracket Assembly
The mounting bracket assembly comprises of the detector mounting bracket, the terminal module, the gas
sample inlet and outlet ports, the cable/conduit entry and Ethernet communications socket.

3.2.1 Mounting Bracket
The metal mounting bracket has two slots that allow the detector to be easily mounted to a wall using two
suitable screw fixings. For further details of mounting the detector refer to section 5.
3.2.2 Terminal Module
The terminal module is located on the mounting bracket. All electrical connections to MIDAS
®
are made via this
module. Wire entry to the terminal module area is via the PG16 cable entry/conduit entry located at the bottom
of the mounting bracket assembly.

3.3 Sensor Cartridge
A wide range of toxic, flammable or oxygen sensor cartridges can be fitted to MIDAS
®
. The plug in sensor
cartridges are fitted in the sensor cartridge chamber at the front of the main chassis. To access the chamber the
unit cover is removed by unscrewing the thumbscrew located at the front of the detector. The pre calibrated smart
sensor cartridges can easily be fitted or replaced as they simply plug into the detector without the need for any
tools. The sensor cartridge is firmly held in place by two locking tabs.
Diagram 5. Sensor cartridge

3.3.1 Biased Sensor Cartridges
Some sensor cartridges are shipped with a battery powered electrical supply in order to keep the cell effectively
‘warmed up’ and ready to monitor once installed in the MIDAS
®
unit. Bias cells are supplied for TEOS, NO and
O
3
. The bias circuit is removed just before insertion into the MIDAS
®
system and the sensor cartridge is thus ready
for effective gas detection.
Should a bias voltage not be applied (e.g. during a power failure) then the cell will take a longer time to recover
before effective gas detection can take place. The longer the loss of applied power, the longer the recovery time.
Refer to the relevant sensor cartridge data sheet for information on each sensor cartridge.
In order to avoid the risk of loss of gas detection due to unforeseen power loss, we recommend that a power
management solution such as uninterruptible power supplies, battery back ups etc. are used.
NOTE: Sensor warranty is void if the sensor cartridge is opened by unauthorized user.
3.4
Cover
The cover provides environmental protection and fits over the top, front and sides of the main chassis.
The front panel has viewing windows for the LCD, LEDs and sensor cartridge fitted in the sensor cartridge
chamber. Underneath the LCD window are the 4 push buttons used for navigating the detector’s software
menus. The cover is easily removed to allow access to the chassis by unscrewing the thumbscrew on the front
panel and pulling the cover forwards off the main chassis.

5 INSTALLATION
For ease of installation MIDAS
®
has been designed to allow the installation of the mounting bracket assembly
and terminal module separately from the other parts of the detector. The detector location and hard wiring can
therefore be completed before fitting the detector’s main chassis and sensor cartridge.
WARNING
MIDAS
®
is designed for installation and use in indoor safe area non-explosive atmospheres. Installation must
be in accordance with the recognised standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned. Prior to
carrying out any installation ensure local regulations and site procedures are followed.

5.1 Mounting and Location of Detector
The MIDAS
®
gas detector has an integral mounting bracket assembly that is easily mounted to a suitable vertical
surface such as a wall, tool housing, mounting plate on a pole etc.
Below are some considerations when installing the MIDAS® Gas Detector:
1. Mount the detector on a surface that is flat, firm and suitable for its size and weight.
2. Use the drill template supplied to drill the holes for the fixings.
3. Use fixings appropriate for the surface being mounted to.
4. Ensure the head size of fixings used will not snag the terminal PCB.
5. Consider the conduit/cable weight and its stress on the installation.
6. Position the detector so that it can be easily accessed.
7. Position the detector so that it is at a suitable height (normally eye level) for the display to be clearly seen.
8. Take into consideration the space required to remove the detector’s cover and locking/unlocking the sensor
cartridge locking clips.
9. Take into consideration the space required for sample inlet and exhaust tubing (for remote monitoring),
and for the inlet filter (for local monitoring).
10. Take into consideration the space required for cable or conduit access.
5.2 Mechanical Installation
The following steps and diagrams show how to separate the mounting bracket assembly from the main
chassis and mount it on a vertical flat surface.
1. Unscrew the thumbscrew located on the front panel.
2. Remove the cover by pulling it forwards off the main chassis.
3. Unscrew the two retaining screws located at the bottom front of the chassis.
4. Holding the mounting bracket assembly with one hand use the other to carefully pull the main chassis
forwards to disconnect it from the mounting bracket assembly.
5.
Using the drill template provided drill two holes 58.50 mm vertically apart for 2 x round head M4 fixing screws.
6. Partially screw the fixings into the mounting surface.

5.5 Local Detector Option
The MIDAS
®
gas detector can also be used to monitor for gas at the location of the detector. To do this an inline
filter is simply connected to the sensor cartridge gas inlet port. The external dust filter part number is 780248 for
normal gases and 1830-0055 for corrosive gases. The area around the detector is then being monitored
as opposed to a sample being drawn from a remote location.

monitoring mode
* Recommend to keep the sample lines as short as possible where the RH condition at the sample point is high (above
<50%RH); there will be some sample loss due to absorption onto the sample line.
** These gases can use either filter.
Table 4. In-line filter recommendations (cont.)

5.6 Electrical Installation
The terminals used are suitable for conductors of 24 to 14 AWG (0.5 to 1.8mm Dia.). The use of 16 AWG
(1.5 mm Dia.) conductors is recommended.
NOTE: When powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) the 3 on board relays do not require separate 24 VDC
to be energized
If Power over Ethernet (PoE) is used to power the device, then 24 VDC power must not also be connected to the
device, (or conversely if 24 VDC is used to power the MIDAS
®
, then electrical power via the Ethernet port must
not be applied). Failure to observe this requirement may cause damage to the gas detection system and will not
be covered by the standard warranty.
When connecting the wires ensure that the power switch is in the off position.
Diagram 11 shows the terminal module layout and terminal identification as well as the jumper locations.
Diagnostic LED lamps are positioned on the internal main chassis for ease of viewing. These indicate that
Ethernet communication activity is active. In some versions of MIDAS
®
the rear mounted Power over Ethernet port
has two LED status lamps; note that these are not utilized and do not illuminate.

NOTE: EARTHING REQUIREMENTS
If the MIDAS® unit metal chassis is not connected directly to a metal surface for earthing purposes, an additional
earth wire will be required. Connect a wire via the PG16 gland to the dedicated earth tag (screw terminal)
located on the bottom bracket and connect the other end of the wire to a dedicated external earthing point.
If Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply is being used, shielded CAT5 ethernet cable is recommended.
Please ensure that your wiring avoids earth ground loops that may affect the performance of your equipment.

6 DETECTOR START UP PROCEDURES
WARNING
Prior to carrying out any work ensure local and site procedures are followed. Ensure that the associated control
panel is inhibited so as to prevent false alarms.
The following procedure should be followed carefully and only performed by suitably trained personnel.
1. Ensure the detector is wired correctly according to sections 5.6 and 5.7.
2. Ensure that the correct sensor cartridge is fitted. (If the cartridge has not been stored at room temperature,
allow one hour for equilibration.)
3. Ensure the on/off switch on the mounting bracket assembly is in the on position.
4. Apply power to the system.
5. After the start up routine the detector will display normal operating mode as shown in section 7.
6. If using a multi gas sensor cartridge refer to section 8.2.2 to ensure the correct gas id code is selected.
7. Allow the detector to stabilize using the table over to determine the maximum sensor cartridge
warm up time.
After applying power to the detector, the display will go through a start up test routine illuminating in sequence
all the LEDs, icons and digits of the display. The display will show the message ‘WAIT’ and ‘LOAD’ as it checks
for cartridge data. It will then display the message ‘WARM’ until the sensor cartridge to reaches operating
temperature. When complete the detector will enter normal monitoring mode indicated by the ‘ ’ icon on the
display cycling through three states (2 rings, 3 rings, 4 rings). The measured gas concentration will be shown
on the display and transmitted on the 4-20 mA output. The green LED will flash once every second indicating
power and the sample flow rate indicator will be displayed. If monitoring is interrupted due to a fault, a test or
calibration process or a user requested inhibit, the ‘ ’ icon will flash. For details of fault and maintenance fault
codes refer to section 12.
Final Start Up Routine ScreenNormal Operation
7.1 Normal Operation Mode
In this mode the detector displays gas concentration, alarm, fault and status information via its backlit LCD and
front panel LEDs. Typical normal operation display and output states are shown below. See Section 12 for a full
list of fault codes.
NOTE: The examples below are for a linear 4-20 mA output over a full scale range of 2 ppm. The current
output for a given gas concentration will be different for other full scale ranges (linear 4 mA = 0 % full
scale to 20 mA = 100 % full scale).

7.1.1 Resetting Alarms, Faults and Maintenance Faults
The alarm relay function of MIDAS
®
can be set to latching (see set-up mode) so that when an alarm occurs
the associated relay remains activated even if the gas reading has dropped below the alarm level. To reset the
latched alarm relay press the ‘X’ cancel button for 2 seconds. If the gas level is still above the alarm point you
can reset the associated relay but it will activate again after the elapse of any alarm on delay that has been set.
The fault relay function can also be set to latching. It can be reset by pressing the ‘X’ cancel button only if the
fault condition has cleared. The fault relay cannot be reset if the fault condition is still present.
The maintenance faults that are displayed on the LCD follow the latching or non-latching function set for the fault
relay. If the fault relay operation is set to non-latching, the display will automatically clear a maintenance fault
message when the maintenance fault condition is cleared. If set to latching the maintenance fault message can
be cleared by pressing the ‘X’ cancel button only if the maintenance fault condition has cleared.
7.2 Review Mode
The detector settings can be reviewed safely without the possibility to make changes by using review mode.
To select review mode press the ‘
▲’ up or ‘▼’ down button once. The review mode icon ‘’ will show on the
display and the first review mode menu icon is displayed.

9 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
MIDAS
®
is a fully serviceable product designed with modular components that can be readily replaced by trained
service personnel so as to minimize the time that the gas detector is not available.
External in-line air filters should be replaced every three months or more frequently if the system is sampling in
environments that have high levels of particulate matter or very acidic / wet atmospheres. Similarly the internal
particulate filter should be replaced once a year or more frequently if the sample lines are prone to heavy
contamination.
Every sensor cartridge is shipped with a 12 month warranty and an extended 2 year warranty is also available
for purchase. All sensor cartridges are factory calibrated to traceable national standards before shipment to the
end user.
Note that testing or calibrating with the wrong (incorrect, out of date, non-traceable) calibration gases,
calibration equipment, methods or operating conditions can actually damage the sensor cartridge’s lifetime and
alter the calibration adversely. Only qualified calibration technicians should attempt to calibrate the MIDAS
®
gas
detector.

11 ANALOG INPUT MODULE
MIDAS
®
can be fitted with an analog module (MIDAS-T-00A) that allows it to be used as a control ‘hub’ for other
remotely connected 4-22 mA analog detection devices such as other gas detectors, flow sensor cartridges and
other industrial monitoring apparatus.
NOTE: Not all analog devices will be compatible with the MIDAS
®
Analog Input module. Zellweger Analytics
is not responsible for ensuring the compatibility of the MIDAS
®
transmitter and analog input module with other
manufacturers’ analog output devices. Please contact your local Zellweger Analytics representative prior to
ordering this option.
Diagram 38. Analog module configuration
Any MIDAS® detector can be fitted with the optional analog input module that accepts the analog signal from a
remote device. MIDAS
®
can then be configured to display the remote system’s analog reading on the local LCD,
trigger relays and provide a digital output via Modbus/TCP Ethernet.
For full installation and wiring instructions please refer to the separate MIDAS
®
Analog Input module Quick Start
Guide (MIDAS-A-023) available on request from Zellweger Analytics.

13 REFLEX®
MIDAS
®
uses patented Zellweger Analytics technology to continuously monitor the health check status of specific
electrochemical cells and alert the user if a cell enters a variety of fault conditions (such as open or short circuit
etc.) which would leave the cell unable to detect gas and raise an appropriate alarm signal.
REFLEX® overcomes this unseen failure mode by applying periodically a special electronic pulse to the cell and
reviewing the ‘echo’ from the cell as it responds to the applied signal. If the cell is deteriorating within certain
pre-set limits based on the received signals then MIDAS
®
will decrease the REFLEX® sampling interval in order
to establish the actual viability of the cell. Within a relatively short time, MIDAS
®
will be able to alert the user via
fault codes that the electrochemical cell is likely to be requiring replacement and is possibly unable to correctly
detect gas.
REFLEX® is not required for pellistors or oxygen electrochemical cells as these sensor cartridges provide alternative
electronic means to indicate open circuits and other sensor cartridge damage issues.
14 INTERNAL WEB SERVER
The MIDAS
®
gas detector unit utilizes an Ethernet port with the TCP/IP protocol as standard. The MIDAS® can
function as a HTML web page server and these web pages can be viewed on external computer equipment (PC,
PocketPC etc.). These web pages replicate the user interface on the front panel of the MIDAS
®
in a more flexible
and friendly format for diagnostic and data entry purposes. The web pages also contain additional features not
available via the keypad.
This procedure explains how to view web pages for a single MIDAS
®
which is connected to a single PC only.
In this example the MIDAS
®
is separately powered by 24 VDC. Of course it is possible to connect hundreds of
MIDAS
®
units to an Ethernet network which is part of the end user’s process LAN and more information may be
required from the local IT department and Zellweger Analytics as appropriate.
14.1 Physical Network Components
The Ethernet 100BaseT physical network is intended to connect computers to other computers through hubs.
For this reason, a MIDAS
®
cannot communicate directly with a PC using a standard cable. This problem can
be overcome by using a special “cross-over” Ethernet cable or by using a ‘hub’ or ‘switch’ and two standard
(straight through wire connections) Ethernet cables. An example of a cross-over cable is the Belkin A3X126
family. An example of an Ethernet switch is the Linksys SD205. These or similar parts are commonly available
from local IT equipment suppliers.
14.2 Internet Settings
Communications requires knowledge of the IP address and netmask of both the MIDAS® and the PC. Unless
the MIDAS® is connected to a large network with a DHCP server, the addresses must be set manually. To view
or set the IP address of the MIDAS
®
, see section 8.2.6. The procedure for setting the IP address of a PC is
detailed in the following example using a PC loaded with Microsoft™ Windows XP and Internet Explorer version
5.0 or higher as illustrated by Diagram 40. In the usual case the netmask for both computers should be set to
255.255.255.0. The most-significant three bytes of the IP address must be identical and the least-significant byte
must be unique. For example, if the IP address of the MIDAS
®
was set to 169.254.60.1 then an appropriate IP
address for the PC would be 169.254.60.42.
14.3 Running the Web Browser
Start Microsoft™ Internet Explorer or similar web browser. Set the URL to “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” where the “xxx”
fields are replaced with the IP address of the MIDAS
®
. A screen similar to Diagram 41. should be displayed. The
status and configuration of the MIDAS
®
can be viewed and set by clicking on the appropriate links.

18 Calibration and Bump Testing
®
All MIDAS
approved calibration methods to a proven ISO 9000 quality controlled procedure. The MIDAS
design is very robust and resistant to long term drift; in fact in a normal operating environment it is possible
to extend the calibration interval with MIDAS
calibrations). This design feature is another element that supports MIDAS
sensor cartridges are pre-calibrated by Zellweger Analytics using traceable gas standards and
®
up to 24 months (subject to local requirements concerning
®
as a long term cost effective gas
®
sensor cartridge
detection solution.
NOTE: It is the sole responsibility of each user to determine their own calibration and bump test schedule
based on their own safety assessments and understanding of local requirements.
Calibration of an electrochemical sensor cartridge is a relatively complex discipline to master and it is possible
that in less ideal field conditions the calibration can be far less accurate than under laboratory conditions and
therefore substantial inaccuracies can be introduced. In the absence of any formal calibration policy by the end
user and due to the low drift and long lifetime of the MIDAS
®
equipment, it is acceptable that the original factory
calibrations can be retained where appropriate thereby ensuring a high degree of accuracy of calibration
Care must be taken to ensure that the correct materials for an extractive application are obtained from reputable
suppliers and are of proven quality and composition. Inappropriate calibration equipment will lead to under or over-presenting the wrong concentration of gas to the sensor cartridge during the calibration period. Likewise
contaminated or inadequately flushed tubing and other gas-wet surfaces can also introduce errors into the
calibration process. Only qualified, trained personnel should attempt to perform gas calibrations; contact your
local Zellweger Analytics Service Representative for further details on calibration services
Bump tests are also used as a quick, low cost and approximate means to present a controlled gas release to
the sensor cartridge in order to verify that the transmitter does respond accordingly. Bump testing is popular
as typical experiences show that a smaller list of cheaper and easier to handle gases can be used to provide
functional tests on a wider range of gas types. In the absence of a formal calibration policy from the end user,
Zellweger Analytics would recommend a minimum annual schedule of at least one ‘bump test’ per sensor with
the appropriate test gas (see details below).
The risks of bump testing are that it may reduce sensor cartridge lifetime and the accuracy of the calibration if
applied incorrectly or too frequently. Testing sensor cartridges with non target gases can also lead to errors and
drift related effects.
®
sensor cartridges have their calibration and bump test gases documented in data sheets that are readily
MIDAS
available from Zellweger Analytics.
WARNING:
To maintain stated sensor performance when using the pyrolyzer, ensure the constant
ambient temperature and humidity levels of the installation point do not exceed the maximum
operating temperature andhumidity range. This product can tolerate temporary changes in
temperature and humidity, but constant exposure to higher levels of temperature and humidity will
require more frequent bump testing or calibrationto confirm working specification.
64
The following table indicates the recommended calibration or bump test gas for the MIDAS® sensor cartridges:
Please consult with your Zellweger Analytics Service Representative for approved methods and materials before
commencing calibrations and bump tests.
A bump test is not intended to be an accurate calibration, but is used as a confidence check to ensure that the
gas detection system is functional. Since some of the target gases are difficult to handle, bump testing often
makes use of cross sensitivities so that more convenient gases can be used.
Equipment
The following items are required:
Test gas (see table)
Special regulator for extractive use (if using field calibration cylinder) or suitable sample bag (if not sampling
directly from cylinder)
Tubing (suitable for gas being applied)
Preparation
Most of the test gases are highly toxic. It is essential that personnel using these toxic gases be trained in their use.
Ensure that the test gas will be vented safely.
Applying test gas may cause alarm, fault or maintenance fault indications on the 4-20 mA loop, relays or digital
outputs. Before starting a test, ensure that suitable steps have been taken to prevent these indications from
triggering unwanted actions. The MIDAS
®
has a special mode for bump testing where the alarm outputs are
inhibited (see section 8.4.1).
To test extractive systems we recommend the use of a gas sample bag and allow the extractive unit to draw a
sample of gas at its normal working flow rate. Suitable sample bags are available from SKC Inc. (www.skcinc.com).
Special regulators for extractive applications to use with field calibration cylinders are also available.
If non-PTFE-lined tube has to be used, response times may be longer than expected, especially when using
chlorine. In this case, it is especially important to keep the tubing short.
The pyrolyzer should be tested in the same way as an extractive system, but using NF
is not available, chlorine can be used at a concentration of 5 ppm. If using chlorine, the freon filter must be
as the test gas. If NF3
3
removed from the unit before the test and replaced after the test.
NOTE: A test with chlorine operates the electrochemical cell and the unit’s electronics, but does not test the
pyrolyzer module itself.
1. If Phosphine is not available, Hydrogen Sulfide can be used to test these sensors. Use a concentration
of 2 ppm. Important: this should only be done once to avoid the danger of poisoning the sensor.
2. The ambient Oxygen level is typically 20.9% by volume. If there is a serious problem with an Oxygen
sensor, the reading will not be 20.9%. As an extra check, the sensor can be breathed on or temporarily
blocked. In either case the reading should decrease.
3. The flow rate is regulated by the Midas unit.
All test gases must be in a balance of air, not Nitrogen.
As an alternative, the actual target gas can always be used instead of a cross-sensitive gas.
Higher concentrations than the recommended ones can be used if necessary, but extra time may be needed for
the reading to recover to zero.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the recommended concentrations or application times where Hydrogen Sulfide
is used to test Silane. Doing this can damage the cell.
67
Finishing
Wait for the gas reading to return to normal levels. This may take some time, especially if concentrations above
the recommended levels have been used or if the test gas has been applied for an extended period of time.
Ensure that any latched faults or alarms that have been generated by the testing have been cleared.
Make sure that the gas detection system is fully restored to its normal operating state and that any control system
overrides used during the testing have been removed.
The alarms generated by the testing will have created entries in the transmitter’s history log.
Troubleshooting
If the test does not produce a satisfactory result, check the following points.
1. Check the gas cylinder concentration and type are correct
2. Check the expiration date of the cylinder.
3. Check that there is sufficient gas left in the cylinder.
4. Check that there are no leaks on the test system.
5. Make sure that the tubing length is as short as possible and that there are no blockages.
6. Make sure that the transmitter is not displaying a fault before the test is started.

Defective goods must be returned by the Buyer at the Buyer’s own expense to Zellweger Analytics premises
accompanied by a detailed report stating the nature of the defect. Returned goods must detail the Service Event
Number (SE#) clearly on the package and the Buyer shall obtain an SE# by contacting Zellweger Analytics in
advance.
If no such report is included then Zellweger Analytics reserves the right to charge an investigative fee (prices
available upon request) before any repair or replacement is performed.
Zellweger Analytics shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever or howsoever occasioned which may
be a direct or indirect result of the use or operation of the Contract Goods by the Buyer or any Party.
This warranty covers the gas detector and parts sold to the Buyer only by authorized distributors, dealers
and representatives as appointed by Zellweger Analytics. A warranty claim will only be accepted if a proof of
purchase is submitted and all conditions obtained within this Warranty are met. When in the opinion of Zellweger
Analytics, a warranty claim is valid, Zellweger Analytics will repair or replace the defective product free of charge
and send it or any replacement back.
The initial warranty period is not extended by virtue of any works carried out there under.
The decision to repair or replace parts shall be determined by Zellweger Analytics.

Sensor Cartridge Warranties
All sensor cartridges are supplied with a standard 12 months (1 year) warranty; sensor cartridges purchased
with an extended warranty for 24 months (2 year) cover period have the same conditions as the standard
cartridge conditions as detailed below but for the longer time period of 24 months.
1. The oxygen sensor cartridge is guaranteed to operate satisfactorily for one year from the date of sale
(i.e. the date of shipment) and will be replaced at no charge within that period only if it will not provide a
correct reading after calibration by authorized service personnel. Physical or chemical damage, resulting
from exposure to improper elements, is not covered.
2. The combustible (LEL) sensor cartridge is guaranteed to operate satisfactorily for one year from the date
of sale (i.e. from date of shipment). If it will not provide a correct reading after calibration by authorized
service personnel, it will be replaced at no charge within that period. This guarantee is void if it has been contaminated by some unusual substance, including but not limited to, water and/or other liquids,
oily compounds, corrosives, silicones, lead vapors, extremely high concentrations of combustible gases,
and various particulates which may inhibit gas flow to the sensor cartridge element.
3. The toxic sensor cartridges are guaranteed to operate satisfactorily for one year from the date of sale (i.e.
the date of shipment). They will be replaced at no charge within that period only if they will not provide a
correct reading after calibration by authorized service personnel, and only if the sensor cartridge membranes
exhibit no physical or chemical damage resulting from exposure to improper substances.
Note that the MIDAS
®
sensor cartridge stores an electronic history of each individual sensor cartridge’s
manufacture, warranty and calibration activity that is accessible by authorized Service personnel.
Conditions and Exclusions
To maintain this warranty, purchaser must perform maintenance and appropriate testing as prescribed in the
instrument operation manual, including prompt replacement or repair of defective parts and such other necessary
calibration, maintenance and repair as may be required in the reasonable judgment of Zellweger Analytics.
Normal wear and tear, and parts damaged by abuse, misuse, negligence or accidents are specifically excluded
from the warranty.
Purchaser acknowledges that, notwithstanding any contrary term or provision in the purchaser’s purchase
order or otherwise, the only warranty extended by Zellweger Analytics is the express warranty contained herein.
Purchaser further acknowledges that there are no other warranties expressed or implied, including without
limitation, the warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose; that there are no warranties which
extend beyond the description of the face hereof; that no oral warranties, representations, or guarantees of
any kind have been made by Zellweger Analytics, its distributors or the agents of either of them, that in any
way alter the terms of this warranty; that Zellweger Analytics and its distributors shall in no event be liable
for any consequential or incidental damages, including but not limited to injury to the person or property of
the purchaser or others, and from other losses or expenses incurred by the purchaser arising from the use,
operation, storage or maintenance of the product covered by the warranty; that Zellweger Analytics liability under
this warranty is restricted to repair or replacement of defective parts at Zellweger Analytics sole option; and that
Zellweger Analytics neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it any other warranty.
The warranty shall be void if serial numbers affixed to the products are removed, obliterated or defaced.
