Introduction

Analox-Ax60-O2-and-CO2-Gas-Analyzer- \(2\)

This Quick Start Guide explains how to install the Ax60+ Quick Connect Option. For more information on operation and maintenance, refer to the Ax60+ User Manual P0159-800. This is available to download from www.analoxsensortechnol- ogy.com. For more information on servicing and calibration, refer to the Ax60+ Service Manual P0159-803, this is also available to download from
www.analoxsen-sortechnology.com.
Step 1. Installing the Sensor and Alarm

  • CARBON DIOXIDE GAS (CO₂) IS DENSER THAN AIR AND SHOULD BE MONITORED FROM A LOW HEIGHT. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE IN-STALL 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 own risk assessment for 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 ensuring the unit is level then install the wall plugs and fit the unit.

Step 2. Cabling

  • The supplied RJ45 coupler is used to connect two RJ45 connectors.
  • The RJ45 splitter is used to connect two Sensors or two Alarms on a common cable.
    • White RJ45 connects Central Display-to-Sensor and Sensor-to-Sensor.
    • Blue RJ45 connects Sensor-to-AlarmAnalox-Ax60-O2-and-CO2-Gas-Analyzer- \(4\)

Step 3. Example of Optional Layouts

In its simplest form a Quick Connect Ax60+ system could incorporate a central display, one sensor and one alarm. A larger Ax60+ system could incorporate a central display, four sensors and eight alarms.Analox-Ax60-O2-and-CO2-Gas-
Analyzer- \(5\)

Step 4. Connecting the Sensor

Note : If the package has 2 sensors then sensor 2 is identified by the number 2 label on top of the sensor enclosure.
The Sensor is pre-wired with:

  • A 5m cable with white RJ45 connector for connection to the Central Display
  • A 5m cable with blue RJ45 connector for connection to the Alarm(s)

Step 5. Connecting the Alarm

The Alarm is fitted with a 5-metre cable with a blue RJ45 connector. This should be connected to the blue connector of the Sensor associated with the Alarm.

Step 6. PSU Cable Identification

  • PSU cables are connected to the Central Dis-play via the terminal block labelled ‘POWER’. Surplus cable can either be shortened or stored inside the Central Display enclosure.
  • Plug-in type PSU cable identification

Step 8. Connecting the Optional Beacon

If the optional beacon is not required proceed to Step 10.
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

Step 9. Connecting the Relays (if required)

  • If relays are not required proceed to Step 11.
  • 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.

Step 10. Connecting the Central Display

  • The Central Display is pre-fitted with two cable glands. The gland on the right has a 2-metre cable fitted with a white RJ45 connector for connection to a Sensor.
  • The empty gland on the left is for the power supply unit cable. A third gland must be fitted if the optional beacon is to be installed. Both of 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.

Step 11. 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.

Step 12. Securing the Power Supply Unit (PSU)

If required secure the PSU in place using the securing kit supplied with the system.

Step 13. 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.
  • Depending on the type of sensor the warm up period can take up to 1 hour.
    • The Central Display software is factory configured. If adding further sensors, the software must be reconfigured.
    • This is done by using the Top-level Menu, Central Config, Attached snsrs 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.

Step 14. Configuration
