MSA ULTIMA X5000 User Manual

Whenthecleaningprocessiscomplete,besuretoremoveallobjectsfromthelightpath.Itisrecommendedto
checkthesensor’sresponsetozeroandcalibrationgasaftercleaning.
Usingothercleaningsolutionsornotthoroughlyremovingtheisopropylalcoholwithadampclothmayresultina
gasreadingfromthehydrocarbonbondsofthesolvent.
WARNING!
Donotplaceforeignobjectsinthesensor'sanalyticalregion(exceptforthe“ULTIMAXIRPLUSCleaningProcedure”as
describedabove);otherwise,theinfraredbeamcanbepartiallyblocked,causingthesensortogene-ratefalsereadings.All
objectsmustberemovedfromthesensor'sanalyticalregionforittofunctionproperly.
Failuretofollowthiswarningcanresultinseriouspersonalinjuryordeath.
6.2 ReplacinganXCellSensor
Theonlyroutinemaintenanceitemisthesensor,whichhasalimitedlifetime.TheULTIMAX5000sensorswithTruCal
technologywillindicatewhenthesensorisnearendoflifethroughtheStatusMenu.WhentheSensorLife&Healthstatus
is"Fair",youhaveapproximately2monthstoreplacethesensorbeforeitwillnolongerfunction.WhenaTruCalsensoris
nolongercapableofsensingitwillgointofaultandLEDswillflashyellow.Itisgoodpracticetoobtainareplacement
sensingelementbeforethesensingelementwithinyourunitbecomesinoperative.
Thereisnoneedtoopenthemainenclosure.Simplyunscrewthedigitalsensorassemblyfromthesensorbodyassembly.
WARNING!
• Donotdisassemblethesensorassembly.Thesensingelementinsidemaycontainhazardousmaterial.
• Handlethesensorcarefully;theelectrochemicalversionisasealedunitwhichcontainsacorrosiveelectrolyte.
• Anyleakedelectrolytethatcomesincontactwithskin,eyesorclothescancauseburns.
• Ifanycontactwiththeelectrolytedoesoccur,immediatelyrinsewithalargequantityofwater.Oncontactwiththe
eyes,rinsethoroughlywithwaterfor15minutesandconsultadoctor.
• Donotinstallaleakingsensorinthesensingheadassembly.Theleakingsensormustbedisposedofinaccordance
withlocal,stateandfederallaws.
• Aspartoftheproductcertification,itwasverifiedthatoptionalcommunicationfunctionsofthisgasdetection
instrumentwhileoperatingatthemaximumtransactionratedonotadverselyaffectthegasdetectionoperationand
functionsoftheinstrument.Theproductcertification,however,doesnotincludeorimplyapprovaloftheSafeSwap
feature,communicationsprotocolorfunctionsprovidedbythesoftwareofthisinstrumentorofthecommunications

• Followthewarningsbelowwhenremovingorreplacingsensors.Reference2.10forcomponentoverview.
○ NeverremoveorreplaceaSensorBodyAssemblyoranUltimaXIRPluswhileunderpowerorwhenexplosive
hazardsarepresent.
○ ConfirmthattheareaisfreeofexplosivehazardsbeforeremovingorreplacinganXCellSensorunderpower.
○ ToremoveanXCellSensor,unscrewXCellSensorthreefullturns,wait10seconds,andthenremovetheXCell
Sensorcompletely.
