Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Configuring the Sensor
The sensor is factory-configured at location 1. If a system includes more than 1 sensor, each one must be reconfigured by moving the jumper link to the appropriate sensor location.
Step 2: Installing the Sensor and Alarm
Alarms should be located at the entrances to the danger area. Retain the clear protective film on the fascia until installation is complete. Mark out and drill the wall-fixing position using the supplied paper template, then install the wall plugs and fit the unit.
Step 3: Cabling
Connect the wiring either via the ‘knock-out’ on the rear of the unit or the optional gland(s) on the bottom of the unit.
Step 4: Connecting the Sensor to the Central Display
Connect the wiring as illustrated in the manual either via the ‘knock-out’ on the rear of the unit or the optional gland(s) on the bottom of the unit.
Step 5: Connecting the Sensor to the Alarm
Connect the wiring as illustrated in the manual either via the ‘knock-out’ on the rear of the unit or the optional gland(s) on the bottom of the unit. Depending on the sensor type, a warm-up period of up to 1 hour may be required.
Step 6: Daisy-Chaining Sensors and Alarms
Follow the cabling arrangement diagram provided in the manual. The recommended cable for connecting sensors and alarms is Cat5e UTP 24AWG PVC.
Step 7: PSU Cable Identification
Identify and connect PSU cables to the Central Display following the cable identification provided in the manual.
Step 8: Connecting the Central Display
Connect the central display using the appropriate connectors as described in the manual.
Step 9: Connecting the Relays (if required)

Configuring the Sensor

The sensor is factory-configured at location

If a system includes more than 1 sensor each one must be reconfigured by moving the jumper link ( ) to the appropriate sensor location, e.g., a system comprising 2 sensors has the jumper link fitted at sensor 1 location 1, sensor 2 location 2 and so on.

Installing the Sensor and Alarm

CARBON DIOXIDE GAS (CO₂) IS DENSER THAN AIR AND SHOULD BE MONITORED FROM A LOW HEIGHT. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE INSTALL A CO₂ SENSOR AT A HEIGHT OF 12–18” (305–457MM) ABOVE THE FLOOR LEVEL. OXYGEN (O₂) SENSORS SHOULD BE INSTALLED AT AVERAGE WORKING HEAD HEIGHT.

Alarms should ideally be located at the entrances to the danger area where visibility is not obscured. Refer to your risk assessment for the best location.
Retain the clear protective film on the fascia until the installation is complete.
Using the supplied paper template mark out and drill the wall-fixing position then install the wall plugs and fit the unit.

Cabling

The diagram below illustrates a typical cabling arrangement for the hard-wired option. The recommended cable for the Ax60+ is Cat5e UTP 24AWG PVC.

Connecting the Sensor to Central Display

The wiring can either be connected via the ‘knock-out’ on the rear of the unit or the optional gland(s) (Blanking discs to be removed) on the bottom of the unit. Connect the wiring as illustrated below.

Connecting the Sensor to the Alarm

The wiring can either be connected via the ‘knock-out’ on the rear of the unit or the optional gland(s) (Blanking discs to be removed) on the bottom of the unit. Connect the wiring as illustrated below. Depending on the type of sensor the warm-up period can take up to 1 hour.

Daisy-Chaining Sensors and Alarms

$ANALOX-AX60-Hard-Wired-Option-fig- $8$$

Daisy-chaining is how the alarms can be connected sequentially. Follow the same wiring sequence described in step 5. Note that wiring access is on the rear of the unit only. The wiring can either be connected via the ‘knock-out’ on the rear of the unit or the optional gland(s) (Blanking discs to be removed) on the bottom of the unit.

PSU Cable Identification

Plug-in type PSU cable identification

Black with stripe: Positive (24V)
Black with print: Negative (0V)
Printed (-V) Stripe (+V)

Hard-wired type PSU cable identification

Black with stripe: Negative (0V)
Black with print: Positive (24V)
Printed (+V) Stripe (-V)

PSU cables are connected to the Central Display via the terminal block labelled ‘POWER’. Surplus cable can either be shortened or stored inside the Central Display enclosure.

Connecting the Central Display

$ANALOX-AX60-Hard-Wired-Option-fig- $11$$

The power and comms wiring can either be connected via the ‘knock-out’ on the rear of the unit (A) or the optional gland(s) (Blanking discs to be removed) on the bottom of the unit (B).
A third gland must be fitted if the optional beacon is to be installed. These cables must be fitted by the installer.
If the built-in relays R1 and R2 are being used, the same cable gland should be used for the relay cables.

Central Display Connections

$ANALOX-AX60-Hard-Wired-Option-fig- $12$$

The Central Display‘s terminal blocks must be connected to the power supply, sensor, beacon and relays (if required).

Connecting the Optional Beacon

If the optional beacon is not required proceed to Step 11. The optional beacon cable must be connected to the terminal block labelled

STROBE:

Cable connections from left to right

0V supply to Beacon
24V supply to Beacon

Cable connections from left to right

0V supply from Central Display
24V supply from Central Display
Ensure the beacon terminal block is fitted on the 0V and 24V terminals

Connecting the Relays (if required)

If relays are not required proceed to Step 12.
Each relay has a Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC) and Common (COM) terminal.
For guidance on relay configuration and testing refer to the Ax60+ Service Manual P0159-803. P0159-803.

Installing the Central Display

Retain the clear protective film on the fascia until the installation is complete.
Using the supplied paper template mark out and drill the wall-fixing position ensuring the Central Display is level. Then fit the wall plugs.
Fasten the lid of the enclosure to the base and fix the Central Display in position.

Securing the Power Supply Unit (PSU)
If required secure the PSU in place using the securing kit supplied with the system.

Powering up & Configuration

When you switch on the power supply the Ax60+ performs a power-on-self-test (POST) which takes about 30 seconds. The results of the POST are displayed on the screen.

Note:
Ax60+ O₂ sensors require a warmup time of 60 minutes.

The Central Display software is factory-configured for a system that has one sensor. If instead, the system has two, three, or four sensors, the software must be reconfigured.
This is done by using the Top-level Menu, Central Config, and Attached sensors option.
To enter the Top-level menu, press and hold Cancel + Cycle for at least six seconds.
Press the Cycle button five times to display the Central Config option then follow the sequence illustrated in Step 15.
