5 Installation
Improper installation of ADICOS detectors can lead to faults and failures of the
detector system.
• Installation work may only be performed by specialist personnel!

5.1 Installation location
DANGER!
ADICOS GSME in their standard version may not be installed in
explosive atmospheres !
• Only use approved GSME variants for operation within explosive atmo -
spheres!
Arrangement and alignment of ADICOS GSME detectors are highly important for
a reliable detection. Unfavorable placement can lead to complete ineffective -
ness of the detector!
• Only experienced specialist planners may define detector position and
alignment!
5.1.1 Protection aspects
The following aspects must be considered when selecting the installation location to ensure
fault-free operation of the ADICOS GSME detector.
Temperature
The ambient temperatures at the planned installation location must not exceed and/or under -
cut the specified temperature range
(–› Chap. 10)
of the ADICOS GSME detector even in the
worst-case scenario. Special attention must be paid to the waste heat of heating-up system
components in the surroundings. Intensive solar irradiation should be avoided as well.
Condensation and contamination
The ADICOS GSME detector is basically suited for operation in dust-loaded environments (not
in explosive atmospheres). In the case of condensation or permanent contact with damp or
oil-containing dusts, the sintered metal filter can be clogged. This reduces the detectivity of
the detector and can lead to ineffectiveness. In the case of condensation, detector heating
and spray protection must be used. Beyond that, the sintered metal filter must be regularly
checked for incrustation.
Moisture
If drip or spray water is to be expected in the planned installation environment, direct contact
with the sintered metal filter must be prevented. This also applies in the case of regular build -
ing cleaning with water. Spray protection must be used in the case of moisture!
