Revision Summary
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Microx Module
The MICROX Module has been designed to allow OEM’S (Original Equipment
Manufacturers) to use the module within their own equipment. Typically, the
DIN and Panel Mount Microx Analyser would be mounted within a control
panel with the sensor connected to the process sample point either within the
panel or external to the panel. The Wall Mount version is suitable for mounting
in the operational location without further mechanical protection, following a
suitable risk survey being undertaken by the user.
3.1 Operation
The Microx Module is designed to interface with any one of the following 3
principal types of sensor technology.

4 SOFTWARE FEATURES
The menu system featured within the Microx module allows all calibration and
configuration activities to be performed.

A B C D
The keypad has the following functionality:
Button Function Alternate Function
A Menu Open/Close
B Enter Numerical value 1
C Next (Increment) Numerical value 2
D Previous (Decrement) Numerical value 3
4.1 Password
The Microx module uses a password system to restrict the end user from
carrying out certain changes that may compromise the use of the equipment.
The Password feature may be Enabled or disabled.
Menu access is organised in three levels, 1, 2 and 3.
Each of the three menu levels allows access to specific menu options within
the menu system.
When a particular menu level is accessed, the user has 10 seconds to enter a
specific menu within that level otherwise the menu level is automatically
exited. Once a menu is entered, the user then has a duration of 10 minutes
within that menu to make adjustments. When the adjustment is made, the
menu is exited to save the adjusted setting to the analyser memory.
To access the Menus, first press the MENU button on the Analyser keypad.
The Analyser display will show the word PASS. Enter the Password
depending on the menu access required. The numerical Passwords are to be
entered by using the keypad buttons as identified on the previous page.
(e.g. for numerical password 1331, press button ‘B’ then button ‘D’ twice, then
button ‘B’ again.) (Note! At each press of the relevant button, ‘Po’ is displayed
on the screen, not the number value being entered)
Next, press the MENU button again and press the UP arrow button to
advance through the menu levels.
Note! For access to the Level 1 menus, no password entry is required.

Electro-Chemical Sensors.
For ppm configured modules that have been fitted with a
replacement sensor the “Zero Offset” (Menu 10) must be
entered prior to a calibration.
The Microx analogue output can be tested for functionality via menu 5.
This option allows the user to simulate the analogue output.
This option allows the user to restore the configuration data to the factory
default values.
Warning
A restore will overwrite all previous calibration data for the selected
sensor excluding those set at the factory.
4.2.7 No Function
Warning
Customer adjustment of this setting is not permitted. The module will
be factory set prior to shipment to the correct Sensor supplied with the
Analyser.
For ppm configured modules a “Sensor Zero Offset” value will need to
be entered or re-entered each time the ppm sensor is replaced. The
appropriate value will be marked on the ppm sensor and this figure will
need to be programmed in to the module. A zero offset figure allows
accurate calibration of ppm sensors that do not give a zero output for
zero gas.
The zero offset value is expressed in PPM oxygen and takes a value
of between -10.0 and +10.0 ppm.
This option is used to allow the user to adjust the sensor gain for optimal
performance. Care should be taken when using this option, which is normally
only used when a new sensor is fitted.
Warning
Customer adjustment of this setting is not recommended. The module
will be factory set prior to shipment at a value appropriate to the sensor
type fitted. Otherwise changing this value may limit the performance
and, in extreme cases, the instrument may no longer detect gas.
The display alternates between the sensor signal level, indicated as a number
between 0 and 4095, and the menu number, E:11. The value used should be
about 2500.
The display indicates the gain setting when the Up / DOWN keys are pressed.
The gain is between 0 and 31, a typical value would be 20.
This option is used to allow the user to adjust the sensor gain for optimal
performance. Care should be taken when using this option, which is normally
only used when a new sensor is fitted.
Warning
Customer adjustment of this setting is not recommended. The module
will be factory set prior to shipment at a value appropriate to the sensor
type fitted. Otherwise changing this value may limit the performance
and, in extreme cases, the instrument may no longer detect gas.
The display alternates between the sensor signal level, indicated as a number
between 0 and 4095, and the menu number, E:12. The value used should be
about 3500.
The display indicates the gain setting when the Up / DOWN keys are pressed.
The gain is between 0 and 31, a typical value would be 3.
This option allows the initial sensor calibration data to be set. It is used to
predict the remaining sensor life.
Warning
Customer operation of this function is not recommended. The
Electronic Zero operation has been completed prior to shipment
and under normal circumstances, is not required to be actioned
again. Performing this function may result in operational errors if
not done correctly.
Disconnect the sensor and place a short at the sensor input to simulate 0%
oxygen.
Warning
Customer adjustment of this setting is not recommended. The module
will be factory set prior to shipment at a value appropriate to the sensor
type fitted. Otherwise changing this value may limit the performance
and, in extreme cases, the instrument may no longer detect gas.
The unit has a noise rejection value associated with the reading and
displaying of the measured gas level.
Setting the noise rejection results in a two second delay for fast
changing gas levels.
Note each range noise rejection differs in the equivalent gas level as
follows:
The unit is fitted with three relays that are operated in conjunction with one of
three alarm levels.
Relay 1 is associated with alarm level 1.
Relay 2 is associated with alarm level 2.
Relay 3 is associated with alarm level 3.
The user can select if the relay is normally Energized, E’ or normally de-
energised, ‘d’ when the unit is not in an alarm condition. The relay can also be
set to act on rising, ‘r’ or falling ‘F’ gas levels.
This option allows the user to configure the operation of the relays.
This option allows the user to set the operation of the alarm levels. There are
three alarms levels associated with 3 relays.
Alarm level 1 is associated with relay 1.
Alarm level 2 is associated with relay 2.
Alarm level 3 is associated with relay 3.
The unit has a hysteresis value associated with the alarm levels to
avoid relay chattering as the unit goes in and out of alarm conditions.
4.2.20 Menu 20
Avoid exposing the Sensor to moisture or wetting particularly if the gas being
presented for measurement by the sensor contains condensable vapours or
entraned liquids. Pre-filtering and drying of the gas to be sampled may be
required by the user.
If the Sensor is not powered for any period, then condensable moisture must
be prevented from entering the sample system and reaching the sensing
element.
Other gases to avoid are halogens, organic vapours, H2S and SO4.
