Installation
•
Close the unit cover and tighten screws to 29.7 in-lb (3 Nm).
•
Do not remove PC board when removing knockouts.
•
Knockout on back is not for conduit entry.
General Mounting Considerations:
•
Must be easily accessible for calibration and maintenance.
•
Mount the sensor close to the potential leak source for fastest
possible leak detection.
•
If personnel protection is the primary application, mount in the
"breathing zone" (1–1.5m from the ground, within the range of a
person's respiration area).
•
Protect the sensor from water, excessive humidity, and wash-
down.
•
Take air movement and ventilation patterns into account.
•
To prevent electrical interference, keep sensor and wire runs
away from mercury vapor lights, variable speed drives, and radio
repeaters.
•
Protect the sensor from physical damage (fork lifts, etc.).
•
Do not mount the sensor over a door in a refrigerated area.
•
For highly critical locations, more than one sensor should be
installed in each room.
Very Important:
•
Never mount the sensor flat on a ceiling.
•
Never mount the sensor on a vibrating surface.
