– Responsibility for correct placement of the instrument
rests with the end user. If in doubt about placement,
consult with application engineers.
– Strict compliance must be given to the local, state, national
codes and regulations that govern the installation of gas
monitoring equipment.
For correct placement the following should be considered:
– Physical properties of the gas or vapor to be detected (e.
g. density)
– Air flow patterns in the area
– Personnel considerations (e. g. breathing/working height)
– Degree of accessibility required for maintenance purposes
1.4

Electrical installation

– Strict compliance must be given to the electrical codes
that govern the routing and connection of electrical power
and signal cables to gas monitoring equipment.
– The electrical network in which the instrument is installed
must have a circuit breaker or fuse.
– The circuit breaker or fuse must be easily accessible, and
marked as corresponding to the instrument.
– Ferrules must be used.
– Wire insulation must be stripped by 5 to 7mm.
Analog interface
– To ensure proper operation of the instrument, the
impedance of the 4 to 20 mA signal loop must not exceed
500 Ohms. Depending on the operating voltage and
according to the application , certain minimum
impedances must be observed 17.2 Signal transmission
to control unit.
Relay option
– Max 5 A current for relays allowed (SPDT contact 5 A at
230 VAC, 5 A at 30 VDC)
– At voltages >30 V AC or >42.4 V DC, the relay cables
must be enclosed in protective tubing, or double-insulated
cables must be used.
