1.2 Purpose
The Multitec 560 can be used as a gas measuring and gas
warning device.
The device is tted with infrared sensors for measuring hydrocarbons CXHY and carbon dioxide CO2 as standard. It can also
be equipped with electrochemical sensors for measuring O2, H2S
and CO.
The infrared sensors operate on the principle of absorption via
infrared-active gases, and the electrochemical sensors operate
on the electrochemical cell principle.
Multitec 560 as a gas warning device
As a warning device it is used to monitor the ambient air at the
workplace. The device can measure up to ve gases simultaneously, thus offering comprehensive protection against dangerous
gas concentrations. It provides warnings including:
● explosive gas concentrations
● lack of oxygen/excessive oxygen
● toxic gases
Multitec 560 as a gas measuring device
As a gas measuring device it determines the composition of gas
mixtures that are formed in biological processes (biogas, landll
gas). It measures the concentration of several gases in the gas
mixture simultaneously. The device is ideal for use in waste disposal sites, sewage plants and biogas plants.
Note:
These operating instructions describe the Multitec 560 with all
additional equipment (rmware version 1.XXX). All descriptions
refer to the device as delivered (factory settings). The manufac-
turer reserves the right to make changes.

1.3 Intended use
This device is intended for professional residential and commer-
cial use including small rms and commercial operations. The
appropriate specialist knowledge is required to operate the device.
The device may only be used to measure the following gases
(depending on additional equipment):
● Methane CH
● Carbon dioxide CO
● Oxygen O
● Hydrogen sulphide H2S
● Carbon monoxide CO
The device must not be used for:
● Gas analysis of technical processes
● Monitoring liquids
The device can be used up to a temperature of 40 ºC. However,
high temperatures reduce the lifetime of the sensors and rechargeable batteries.
If a device with an electrochemical sensor is exposed to gas
concentrations above the measuring range limit, this can reduce
the lifetime of the sensor.

● Signal light on top of device (visual signal)
● Buzzer on side of device (audible signal)
The signals indicate alarms and faults (see Section. 6 on
page 49). The device also emits signals when it is switched
on and off.
If this symbol appears on the display, the audible signal
can be switched off.
When an audible signal has been switched off it cannot
be switched back on.
This symbol appears at the top left of the display as soon
as the audible signal has been switched off. It disappears
automatically if the level falls below the alarm threshold.
2 Features
Operating signal
Only applies to Warning ExTox application.
The device emits a visual signal and an audible signal at regular
intervals. This indicates that the device is working properly.
Alarm
Only applies to Warning ExTox application.
The device can monitor several gases at the same time. If the
measured gas concentration of one or more gases exceeds spec-
ied limit values (alarm thresholds) the device gives a warning. It
emits both audible and visual signals, which are distinctly different
from the operating signal.

5.2.1 Scope
Adjustments must be made separately for each measuring range.
● Zero point
● Sensitivity
Note:
For each measuring range always adjust the zero point rst, followed by the sensitivity.
Only gases for which the readings are outside the predened
limits need to be adjusted during the adjustment process (see
Section. 7.3 on page 56).
5.2.2 Test gases for the adjustment

If more than one test gas can be used to adjust a gas, it does
not have to be adjusted with all test gases. However, adjusting
with more than one test gas increases the measurement quality.
Fresh air contains 20.9 % vol. O2 and is therefore used with oxygen to adjust the sensitivity.

Note:
Use of test gases not provided by SEWERIN can cause interference.
The concentration of the test gas used must match the specied
test gas concentration.
