Note: All new units sold are under the ANZEx scheme.
The TX6363, TX6373 or TX6383 are sold as a transmitter with sensor head. The transmitter and the sensor head certificates matched each other when the Gas Detector was originally supplied.
Austdac has found a number of customers have been mixing the transmitter and the sensor head which can lead to a mismatch in the certificates.
While it is understood that these parts with different certificates could be interchanged and still function even with different certificates, Austdac has queried this with the NSW and Queensland Mines Inspectorate who both state that the certificates must match on the equipment.
Austdac is therefore obliged to correct this by matching up the certificates.
