ATX612 F EATURES
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
CH
4
). User selects %LEL or %CH
4
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.
• 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.

4.1 C HARGING THE B ATTERY (N ICAD B ATTERY O PTION )
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.
