M2 Transmitter Operator’s Manual, 12 VDC Operation 4
Magnetic Wand
The magnetic wand is a short plastic rod with a magnet in one end. It is used to actuate
the magnetic control switches on the control PCB while the junction box cover is still
installed so that non-intrusive calibration can be performed.
LEL Detector
The LEL detector senses the target gas and is mounted in a 3/4” conduit hub on the right
bottom side of the M2. The LEL detector has a 1/2” NPT thread and requires a 3/4”NPT x
1/2”NPT reducer to mount it in the detector hub.
