ESS-03 Bump Testing
See “Performing a Bump Test” on page 90 for instructions to perform a bump
test.
NOTE: RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends that you dedicate a regulator for
use with chlorine (Cl
2
) gas and that you do not use that dedicated
regulator for any other gases, particularly hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S).
Replacing the ESS-03 Sensor
or Changing Sensor Type
When replacing a sensor, you may either replace it with another of the same
sensor or you may install a different ESS-03 sensor. If a different one is
installed, the GX-6000 will load the sensor parameters and configure the
ESS-03 channel for the new sensor.
1 . Follow the instructions listed in “Replacing a Sensor” on page 120
keeping the following exception in mind:
• A bias board is attached to the bottom of replacement ESS-03 sensors
and must be removed before installing the sensor in the GX-6000.
Properly dispose of the bias board once the sensor has been installed.
Be sure that the new sensor is installed in the same position as the old sensor
and that the following sensor priority for the smart sensor 1 position is
maintained.
Table 22: Priority for Smart Sensor 1 Position
For example, if your instrument is a 4-gas + ESS-03 Cl
2
+ ESS-03 NH
3
, the
Cl
2
sensor should be in the smart sensor 1 position and the NH
3
sensor
should be in the smart sensor 2 position. If your instrument is a 4-gas +
ESS-03 NH
3
, the NH
3
sensor should be in the smart sensor 1 position and a
