Common failures & inspection points

Sensor poisoning, ageing or contamination causes slow or inaccurate response, noticed during bump testing or calibration
Blocked sampling paths or dirty sensor openings prevent the atmosphere reaching the sensor, noticed as failed response tests
Battery or power-supply faults cause shutdown, low-battery alarms or unavailable channels
Calibration drift causes readings that do not agree with certified test gas
Water ingress, corrosion or damaged wiring can cause intermittent channels, fault alarms or loss of indication

Service & Maintenance

Carry out visual inspection, bump or response testing and calibration in accordance with the approved onboard procedure and manufacturer documentation. Check sensor age or condition, sample lines and filters where fitted, alarm sounders and beacons, batteries or power supply and alarm transmission to connected systems. A surveyor will normally look for valid calibration records, correct test gas and evidence that alarms and faults are acted upon.
