FEATURES AND BENEFITS
1. Can I replace the sensors in my MX6 iBrid™? The MX6 utilizes all fi eld replaceable, plug-in sensors. The user can replace any sensor in the fi eld and have the instrument in service after performing a simple fi eld calibration. 2. Can I use the sensors from my other Industrial Scientifi c instruments in the MX6? No, MX6 sensor modules are not interchangeable with other Industrial Scientifi c instruments. The MX6 sensor modules are specifi cally confi gured for this instrument. However, in an emergency, the fl ex tale may be removed from a sensor module from the GasBadge® Pro in order to install it in the MX6. 3. Can a sensor in my MX6 be turned off if I do not want to use it in a particular application? Yes. Any of the sensors in the MX6 can be disabled or enabled through the instrument’s operating system. A sensor that is disabled will appear in gray and indicate “OFF” on the display.
4. Can I put an LEL sensor, IR sensor and PID in my MX6 at the same time? No. All fi ve-sensor positions in the MX6 can hold an oxygen or toxic sensor. However, there are only two positions capable of holding a high power sensor such as the LEL, IR or PID. Therefore, only two of the high power sensors can be used in the instrument at the same time.
5. Does the lamp in the MX6 PID need to be cleaned regularly? No. The lamp in the PID sensor is sealed within the sensor itself. Opening the sensor to remove or clean the lamp will void the sensor warranty. Contamination and degradation of the lamp can be compensated for by performing routine calibration of the sensor.
6. Will the lithium-ion battery used in the MX6 suffer from memory effects? No. Along with its superior energy density, the major advantage of the lithium-ion battery pack is that it does not experience a loss of capacity due to memory effects that plague other rechargeable battery technologies. 7. How long does the lithium-ion battery pack last? The MX6 batteries have a rated life of 500 charge/discharge cycles. Under normal conditions, this should allow at least two years of normal use. However, the MX6 Li-ion battery pack will be damaged beyond repair if it is left uncharged for more than 1 year. 8. Will the MX6 run continuously while connected to a battery charger? No. The charge control system of the MX6 does not allow the instrument to function when connected to the battery charger. 9. Can the MX6 be left on the charger continuously when not in use? Yes. The charge control system of the MX6 prevents overcharging of the battery, allowing it to be left on the battery charger continuously without damage.
10. What is the recommended fl ow rate for calibrating the MX6? Industrial Scientifi c recommends a minimum fl ow rate of 0.5-liter per minute for calibrating the MX6 for all sensors. This fl ow rate is best for matching calibration conditions to the actual diffusion response of the sensor in the instrument.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
11. Why do the sensors in my MX6 give me negative readings? There are several factors that may cause negative gas readings on the MX6 such as changes in relative humidity, change in temperature or a negative signal from an interfering gas. The most common cause of negative gas readings however is zeroing the instrument in a background concentration of the target gas. If the MX6 is zeroed in a background of 10 PPM carbon monoxide, the instrument will read -10 PPM in clean air. This can be avoided by using zero grade air to zero the instrument at any time the quality of the ambient air is unknown. 12. Does the MX6 need to be returned to the factory for annual calibration or re-certifi cation? No, the only calibration required for the MX6 is the recommended monthly fi eld calibration of the sensors. There is no adjustment or calibration of the instrument circuitry required. Unless the unit has malfunctioned, there is no reason to ever return it to the factory for service. 13. How often do I have to calibrate the MX6? Because the only way to be sure that your gas monitor will respond to gas is to test it with a known concentration of gas, Industrial Scientifi c recommends that a functional test or “bump” test be performed on the instrument before each use. A function test ensures that the instrument will respond when challenged with gas and will function in the fi eld. Industrial Scientifi c also recommends that the instrument be calibrated on a monthly basis as a minimum. 14. Will the combustible sensor in the MX6 work in an oxygen defi cient environment? The catalytic bead combustible gas sensor in the MX6 requires a minimum of 10% oxygen to provide an accurate reading. In any situation in which the oxygen reading is less than 10% the combustible gas reading must be considered to be in error. The MX6 can also utilize one of two infrared (IR) sensors for detecting combustible gas to 100% LEL or methane to 100% of volume. The infrared sensors do not rely on oxygen and therefore function accurately in an oxygen defi cient atmosphere. It must be noted that the infrared sensors will not respond to hydrogen. In applications where hydrogen is present and there is less than 10% oxygen, a 1:1 dilution fi tting must be used in the instrument sample line to provide suffi cient oxygen to the sensor to get an accurate reading. When using a dilution fi tting, the user must always remember that the instrument will display one-half of the actual gas concentration being measured. 15. How often do I have to replace the sensors in my MX6? Oxygen sensors in the MX6 will typically last 2 years. On average, toxic sensors will last 3-4 years and combustible sensors 4-5 years. There is no need to replace these sensors before they indicate a marginal or failed calibration in the MX6. 16. How far can I sample using the MX6 with the integral sampling pump? As a general rule, the MX6 with pump is rated to sustain a continuous sample draw for up to 100 ft. with 0.125-inch inside diameter sample tubing. However, the pump will provide adequate fl ow at 0.5 liters/minute up to a vacuum pressure of approximately 30 inches of H2O. The length of sample tube can exceed 100 ft. as long as the vacuum pressure required to draw the sample does not exceed 30 inches of H2O.
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS1001 Oakdale Road • Oakdale, PA • 15071-1500 • USA
17. If I remove a sensor from the MX6 temporarily, do I have to recalibrate the instrument after I reinstall the sensor? No. All calibration information for the sensors in the MX6 is stored on the sensor module itself. If a sensor is reinstalled in the instrument it will be calibrated and respond exactly the way it did before it was removed from the unit. 18. How much capacity does the datalogging memory in the MX6 have? The advanced data compression techniques used in the MX6 will allow it to log and store data at 1 minute intervals for a minimum of 1-year. 19. Can the fi rmware in the MX6 be upgraded in the fi eld? Yes. If fi rmware upgrades are made available, they can be uploaded into the MX6 using a microSD transfl ash memory card. The card is inserted into a socket beneath the MX6 battery pack and will automatically be uploaded into the instrument the next time the unit is turned on.
20. Why are some choices on the MX6 display menus grayed out? Menu selections that are grayed out such as “Wireless” in the View menu represent future functionality that will be released to work in conjunction with the MX6. The time frame for release of these additional features is currently unknown.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Monitoring CO Levels with the MX6 iBrid™
Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO) may be found in numerous industrial and commercial environments. The actual level of the hazard may vary over a wide range depending on the source of the gas. Varying levels of CO may exist in or at: • Power plants• Steel mills• Coke plants• Utility vaults• Battery charging stations• Fire scenes• Coal mines• Many other industrial settings Choosing the right sensor for monitoring carbon monoxide levels depends on the potential concentration of the gas and the complexity of the application environment. Industrial Scientifi c’s MX6 iBrid™ multi-gas monitor utilizes three distinct carbon monoxide sensors to detect CO across a wide range of applications. The standard carbon monoxide sensor is used to detect and display CO levels at concentrations from 0-1,500 parts per million. These levels of CO are typically found in applications around boilers, blast furnaces, warehouses or in areas where small combustion events have occurred. A high range carbon monoxide sensor is available with the MX6 to detect CO levels up to 9,999 parts per million. The higher concentrations could be encountered after signifi cant combustion events such as cable or transformer burn-outs in utility vaults, at fi re scenes, or deep beneath the earth’s surface during mine emergencies. Carbon monoxide may also be found in some areas in conjunction with troublesome hydrogen vapors. The
hydrogen produced in steel mills during annealing operations, around generators in power plants or near battery charging stations will produce erroneously high CO readings on instruments using standard carbon monoxide sensors. For these applications, the MX6 can be outfi tted with a hydrogen nullifying CO sensor that will reject the cross-interfering hydrogen gas and yield an accurate carbon monoxide reading. Consult an Industrial Scientifi c Technical Support Representative to ensure that you have selected the right CO sensor for your application. DDW 04/02/07

Using the MX6 iBrid™ for Combustible Gas DetectionGas monitoring programs generally are focused on detecting areas of oxygen defi ciency, hazardous toxic vapors, or potentially explosive levels of combustible gases. The MX6 iBrid™ multi-gas monitor utilizes different technologies and sensors to detect dangerous combustible gases in refi neries and petrochemical plants, oil and gas production fi elds, steel mills and other industial factories, and along transmission piplelines and utility distribution lines.
Catalytic bead sensor technology is used to detect combustible gases from levels as low as 10 parts per million up to 100% of the lower explosive limit (LEL). The catalytic bead sensor will detect any gas or vapor that will burn, and will respond most accurately when calibrated using the desired target gas. While the catalytic bead sensor is the most common sensor and the standard for most applications, it is not appropriate for applications where low oxygen concentrations or high levels of sulfur or silicone poisoning vapors exist.
Infrared (IR) combustible gas sensors are utilized in the MX6 to detect gases to 100% LEL in applications where oxygen defi ciency or high concentrations of poisoning vapors cause catalytic bead sensors to malfunction. The infrared sensor responds best to propane vapors, but will yield readings over a wide range of hydrocarbon vapors. Care must be taken, however, not to rely on the IR sensor for safe detection in combustible gas atmospheres containing hydrogen. The infrared technology is incapable of responding to hydrogen vapors.
Applications for detecting gas around pipelines or in utilities often require the ability to detect natural gas or methane up to 100% of volume. The infrared CH4 sensors are used to detect methane in applications where leaks
may produce gas concentrations in high volume percentages or in applications where oxygen is removed and an inert gas such as CO2 or argon is used to purge lines for maintenance purposes. Whether your application calls for combustible detection in PPM or at % of volume levels, the MX6 has the right sensor confi guration to meet your needs. Consult an Industrial Scientifi c Technical Support Representative to ensure that you have selected the best sensor for your application. DDW 04/02/07

New U.S. federal mine regulations have created a growing number of applications for multi-gas instrumentation in underground mines. The legislation (enacted in early 2007) requires every group of miners, or any miner working alone, to carry a multi-gas instrument capable of detecting oxygen, methane and carbon monoxide. The MX6 iBrid™ is the ideal solution for complying with these regulations.
An MX6 confi gured to detect Carbon monoxide, oxygen and 0-5% methane with a catalytic bead sensor is ideal for everyday mining applications. Adding an NO2 and NO sensor to the instrument makes the unit suitably confi gured for mines utilizing diesel powered equipment. The rugged, rubber overmolded construction, and the brightly backlit color liquid crystal display of the MX6 are uniquely suited for use in the harsh underground mine environment.
Confi gure the MX6 with a pump and infrared methane sensor and the unit is equipped to meet the needs of new regulations requiring mine operators to regularly monitor the gas levels behind mine seals. The infrared sensor is capable of detecting high concentrations of methane in atmospheres void of oxygen. Operators can then verify that the atmosphere beyond the seal is in a safe, inert condition.
A high-range carbon monoxide sensor that will detect CO up to 9,999 PPM is also available. Adding this sensor to an MX6 confi guration with methane, O2 and pump creates the ideal mine rescue monitor. The extended measuring ranges of these sensors allow mine rescue teams to accurately assess the conditions following a mine disaster. This is especially important when taking steps to return the mine to a safe condition before rescue teams can enter.
The ability to confi gure the MX6 with sensors to meet the variety of mining applications allows mine operators to standardize on one instrument for all applications – minimizing training and maintenance requirements. Coupling the MX6 with the DS2 Docking Station™ for automatic test, calibration, data storage and documentation provides the complete system for fulfi lling the strict requirements of the mining industry.

The MX6 iBrid™: Ideal for Confi ned Space Monitoring29 CFR 1910.146 states that before an employee enters a permit required confi ned space “the internal atmosphere shall be tested, with a calibrated direct-reading instrument, for the following conditions in the order given: (1) oxygen content, (2) fl ammable gases and vapors and (3) potential toxic air contaminants.” The Industrial Scientifi c Corporation MX6 iBrid™ Multi-gas Monitor is the ideal instrument designed to meet confi ned space monitoring regulations around the world.
The MX6 is designed to detect from one to six gases including oxygen, combustible gases and up to four toxic gases. Such confi guration fl exibility allows it to measure potential hazards in confi ned spaces in any industry. The addition of a photo-ionization detector (PID) allows for the detection of the potentially “unknown” toxic hazards or VOCs that may exist in some confi ned space applications. A full-color liquid crystal display provides a clear readout of the level of each potential hazard. A menu-driven operating system and fi ve-way navigation button allow for intuitive use by everyday workers. Audible, visual and vibrating alarms provide an indication of when atmospheric conditions are unsafe for entry into the space.
Pre-entry confi ned space testing requires remote gas sampling capability. The MX6 can be confi gured with an internal sampling pump to draw remote gas samples from up to 100 ft. away. The sampling pump has an alarm to indicate when the sample line becomes obstructed and does not permit suffi cient air fl ow to the instrument for accurate monitoring.
The MX6 is powered by an interchangeable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that allows the unit to operate for up to 24 hours continuously. An interchangeable alkaline battery pack allows monitoring operations to extend around-the-clock for several days by simply replacing the alkaline batteries when necessary.
Confi ned space regulations also require that monitoring instruments are tested and calibrated according to the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations. The MX6, coupled with the DS2 Docking Station™ for automated test, calibration and record keeping functions provides the complete confi ned space solution for any industry. Contact an Industrial Scientifi c Technical Service Representative to determine the right MX6 confi guration for your confi ned space application. DDW 04/02/07
