What to do if my ESP Safety SGOES Gas Detectors has constant fault alarm?
If your device is showing a constant fault alarm, it might be caused by a blockage or dirt between the receiver and the mirror. Turn off the power and carefully clean the optical components using alcohol and a scratch-resistant cloth or chamois.
How to fix an ESP Safety SGOES with no Status LED?
If the Status LED is not lit, it may be due to a lack of power supply. Detach the base with the cable entry from the SGOES enclosure and verify that the terminals are receiving a voltage of 24±6 VDC.
