Rectification of the errors under points 1 – 4 (gas supply error) The following action can be taken if an error occurs in the gas supply, for example abnormal loss of calibration gas.
Page 226 To do so, switch off the electrical supply and disconnect the supply cable plug from the board to the GasLab Q2 connection box. Switch on the electrical supply again and measure the voltage in the plug. If there is no voltage, or if it is significantly lower than the idling voltage, replace the cable after disconnecting it from the power supply.

Page 232: Maintenance, Cleaning And Repair
To ensure long-term use, regular weekly automatic operational calibration is necessary. This is usually triggered by the parameterization. An annual service calibration with maintenance is also required. Cleaning and, if necessary, Honeywell service or repair work are the results of this maintenance.
Page 233 * The replacement of the above consumables is only possible during a service visit. If you operate the device official (fiscal), please also observe the applicable regulations regarding sealing and closing off the housing before opening it.

The housing may only be repaired by Honeywell. Explosion-protected equipment which has not been repaired by the manufacturer must not be reused. Seul Honeywell est habilité à réparer le boîtier. L’équipement antidéflagration non réparé par le fabricant ne doit pas être réutilisé.
Page 236: Checking The Breather Element/Venting System
If you find any damage or corrosion, replace the damaged and/or corroded components and seal the unused openings. Obey the explosion protection regulations. If step 2 is not possible or spare parts are required, contact Honeywell to arrange a service visit. Disconnect the gas and voltage supply.
Page 237: Visual Inspection Of The Cylinder Pressure/Inlet Pressures
Replace the calibration gas cylinder if necessary.  sections 5.3.4, 7.4.2 and 10.3. Notify Honeywell if you require a new calibration gas mixture. You can use the device without calibration gas, but the results may not be as accurate. Note the result/condition in the maintenance report.
Page 238: System Tightness Test
Step Action: Tightness test If the device is already operating, close the valves in the GasLab Q2 by switching off the power supply. Supply all inlet gas lines for the measuring equipment with gases and pressures so that the pipelines contain a gas volume.
Page 239: Completing A Service Calibration
Note: If an error occurs during the following steps, for example the pressure is inadequate, the display will jump straight to point 10. Carry out steps 10 and 11. Rectify the error and repeat the process from step 4. Information for general use GasLab Q2 Rev. M / 73023639...

Page 242: Connecting And Replacing Gas Cylinders
MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND REPAIR 10.3. Connecting and replacing gas cylinders For the correct operation of the GasLab Q2 a gas cylinder with a binary mixture of methane (CH and carbon dioxide (CO ) is connected to the instrument. This should be replaced as soon as the outlet pressure can no longer be held at a stable level.
Page 243 After the flushing cycle, connect the outlet of the pressure reducer to the appropriate gas inlet on the GasLab Q2 using a fixed pipeline. If this is not yet possible, seal the gas pipeline with a dummy plug so that you can continue with step 9 later.
Page 244 2. Gas can flow into the parts which require flushing. The gas pipeline must be disconnected immediately upstream of the GasLab Q2 (close gas cylinder) to make this possible. Ensure that the flushing gas is discharged in a professional, safe manner.
Page 245: Repair Work And Honeywell Service Work
10.4. Repair work and Honeywell service work The device has got hardly any consumables and wear parts. Honeywell recommends that the filter in the process inlet is checked every year to prevent errors and enable the service calibration to be completed with special gases.
Page 246: Device Cleaning And Documentation Of The Work
10.5. Device cleaning and documentation of the work Ideally, you should use a damp cloth to clean the GasLab Q2. Generally, a mild cleaning solution or a mild glass cleaner for domestic use may be used.
