rubber boot and spacer from the old sensor.
5. If you are replacing a CO sensor, install the rubber boot and charcoal filter onto the new
sensor’s face.
If you are replacing the 65-2423RK-05 explosion-proof H
2
S detector’s sensor, install the
rubber boot and spacer on the new sensor’s face.
6. Carefully match the replacement sensor’s male pins with the 4-socket pattern in the top section
and plug it in.
7. Make sure the cap gasket is in place and screw the detector cap back onto the housing body.
8. Turn on or reconnect power to the M2A.
CAUTION: Allow the replacement sensor to warm up for 15 minutes before you continue with
the next step.
9. Calibrate the detector as described in “Calibration, Combustible Gas, CO2, and Toxic
Versions” on page 42.
Replacing the CO Sensor Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter is used to scrub out interfering gases from the environment being monitored,
such as H
2
S and certain hydrocarbons. If you are experiencing unexplained upscale readings on a
CO M2A, the charcoal filter may be saturated and no longer scrubbing out interfering gases and it
may be necessary to change the charcoal filter.
1. Turn off or disconnect power to the M2A.
2. Unscrew the detector housing cap from the housing body. Make sure not to lose the cap gasket.
See Figure 4 for an illustration of the CO detector.
3. Remove the rubber retaining boot with the charcoal filter disk from the sensor.
4. Replace the charcoal filter disk in the rubber retaining boot and install the boot onto the sensor.
5. Make sure that the cap gasket is in place and screw the detector cap back onto the housing
body.
6. Turn on or reconnect power to the M2A.
Replacing an Oxygen Plug-in Sensor
NOTE: This procedure is applicable for both the CSA type, explosion proof oxygen detector
(65-2514RK) and non-explosion proof, replaceable sensor oxygen detector (65-
2494RK).
1. Turn off or disconnect power to the M2A.
2. Unscrew the detector cap from the detector housing body. Take care not to lose the cap gasket.
See Figure 2 or Figure 3 for an illustration of the oxygen detector.
3. Unplug and remove the sensor.
4. Carefully match the replacement sensor’s male pins with the 2-socket pattern in the top section
and plug it in.
5. Make sure the cap gasket is in place and screw the detector cap back on to the detector
housing.
6. Turn on or reconnect power to the M2A.
