ATX612 FEATURES

 

 

 

 

 

The Industrial Scientific ATX612 Multi-Gas Monitor may

 

 

 

be configured to continuously monitor one, two, three or

 

 

 

four gases in any combination of the following:

 

 

 

• Oxygen

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Combustible gases (%LEL) or methane (% by volume

 

 

 

CH4). User selects %LEL or %CH4 prior to calibration.

 

 

 

• Any two of the following toxic gases:

 

 

 

Carbon Monoxide

 

 

 

 

 

Hydrogen Sulfide

 

 

 

 

 

Sulfur Dioxide

 

 

 

 

 

Chlorine

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nitrogen Dioxide

 

 

 

 

 

Chlorine Dioxide

 

 

 

 

 

• The ATX612 automatically recognizes and displays the

 

 

 

installed sensors when switched on.

 

 

 

One-Button calibration (microprocessor controlled).

 

 

 

Built-in pump for remote gas sampling.

 

 

 

• Backlit display for viewing in low light conditions.

 

 

 

Round-the-clock monitoring capability using the

 

 

 

interchangeable rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Nicad) or

 

 

 

replaceable alkaline battery packs.

4

 

 

Plug-in sensors that can be changed or replaced without

 

 

special tools or soldering equipment.

90 dB audible and ultra-bright visual alarm indicators.

Optional external audible or vibrating alarms.

High and low alarms for combustible and toxic gases; enrichment and depletion alarms for oxygen.

User selectable latching alarms.

User selectable access code for security of calibration and alarm settings.

Combustible gas OVER-RANGE protection.

PEAK reading mode.

Press and hold power switch to prevent accidental turn ON or turn OFF.

Hygiene/Datalogging option that can be installed by the factory or the customer, to provide short term exposure limit (STEL) and time-weighted average (TWA) readings with 110 hours datalogging capacity.

The ATX612 is classified as intrinsically safe by the following agencies:

-Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

-Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Canadian Standards Association has assessed only the combustible gas portion of this instrument for performance.

-Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).

-Workcover Authority, NSW, Australia.

-Department of Mineral Resource, NSW, Australia.

-CENELEC (DEMKO)

4. INSTRUMENT OPERATION

4.1CHARGING THE BATTERY (NICAD BATTERY OPTION)

If the ATX612 is equipped with a Nicad battery pack, fully charge the battery pack before use. A universal charging adapter is included with the unit for charging the ATX612 battery pack. The battery pack may be charged while attached to the instrument or when removed to allow round-the-clock operation of the ATX612 using a spare battery.

The ATX612 is equipped with a nickel-cadmium battery pack with a built-in “smart” charging system. When plugged into the charging adapter, the battery will recharge at a high rate until fully charged and then will reduce to a maintenance trickle charge rate. The battery will not be damaged if it is left connected to the charger for extended periods.
