Why does my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II detector not accurately measure gas?
If your detector isn't accurately measuring gas, it could be because the sensor requires calibration (calibrate the sensor), the detector's temperature differs from the gas temperature (allow the detector to reach ambient temperature before use), or the sensor filter is blocked (replace the sensor filter).
What to do if my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II Security Sensors detector enters alarm immediately?
If your detector enters alarm immediately when activated, it could be due to several reasons: the sensor needing time to stabilize (wait 60 seconds for a used sensor, 5 minutes for a new one), a low battery (charge the battery), the sensor requiring calibration (calibrate the sensor), or a hazardous environment (leave the area immediately and reactivate the detector in a safe area).
What to do if my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II Security Sensors detector intermittently enters alarm without reason?
If your detector intermittently enters alarm without reason, it could be due to ambient gas levels being near the alarm setpoint, incorrect alarm settings (reset the alarm setpoints), the sensor requiring calibration (calibrate the sensor), or a missing or faulty sensor (replace the sensor).
Why does my BW Technologies Security Sensors detector not activate?
If your detector does not activate, it may be due to a depleted battery (charge the battery). If that doesn't resolve the issue, it could be a damaged or defective detector.
What to do if my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II Security Sensors pump is not operating?
If the pump is not operating, ensure the diffusion cap is attached correctly and the seal is tight. Also, check for blockages in the tubing and clear them if necessary. If the issue persists, the particulate and/or moisture filter may need replacement.
Why does my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II detector automatically deactivate?
Your detector may automatically deactivate due to a depleted battery (charge the battery). Another reason may be that 'Lockout on Self-Test Error' is enabled and a sensor has failed the startup self-test.
What to do if my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II detector does not display normal ambient gas reading after startup tests?
If your detector doesn't display a normal ambient gas reading after startup tests, it could be because the sensors haven't stabilized yet (wait 60 seconds for a used sensor, 5 minutes for a new one), the sensor requires calibration (calibrate the sensor), or the target gas is present (detector is operating properly; use caution in suspect areas).
Why does my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II Security Sensors detector not respond to the pushbutton?
If your detector does not respond to the pushbutton, it could be because the battery is depleted (charge the battery). Alternatively, the detector may be performing operations that do not require user input; pushbutton operation will restore automatically when the operation ends.
What to do if the activation startup self-test fails on my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II?
If the activation startup self-test fails, it could indicate a general fault. It may also indicate a sensor error (replace the sensor).
Why does my BW Technologies GasAlertMax XT II detector not enter alarm?
If your detector does not enter alarm, it may be because the alarm setpoints are set incorrectly or set to zero (reset the alarm setpoints). Another reason could be that the detector is in calibration mode (complete the calibration procedure).
