CAUTION:
Ensure all wiring
connections are made
before
applying power.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Carefully
consider the full range of environmental conditions
to which the instruments will be exposed.
TARGET GAS CONSIDERATIONS:
The physical data of
the gas or vapor to be detected must be observed.
APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS:
The specifics of the
application (for example, possible leaks, air move
-
ment/draft, etc.) must be observed.
ACCESSIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS:
The degree of
accessibility required for maintenance purposes
must be granted.
ELECTRONIC CONSIDERATIONS:
The system contains
sensitive electronic components that can be easily
damaged. Do not touch or disturb any of these
components.
2: MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Mount the MVR-300 according to the above considerations,
product dimensions, and maximum wiring lengths.

Gas alarms and status messages are indicated visually by a
3-colored LED and audibly by a buzzer. In case of an alarm
and/or fault, relays switch (for example, shut-off valves or alarm
devices).
NOTE:
Before installing the MVR-300, refer to the
calibration gas concentration label and record the
value for use in step 16 of the calibration procedure.
NOTE:
The manufacturer of this product requires that
a bump test or calibration be performed following
installation to verify instrument functionality.
CAUTION:
RS-485 signal cable must be
insulated to the highest voltage level in the
system. Protect the RS-485 signal cable by using
the supplied installation kit.
1. Prepare signal cable and put boot over the signal cable.
2. Add appropriately sized ferules (not included) if required.
3. Apply 10 cm piece of shrink wrap as close to the wire ends/
ferules as possible while leaving some free wire to allow
connection to the detector.
4. Heat the shrink wrap.
5. Connect signal wires/ferules to the detector.
6. Slide rubber boot along the wire and shrink wrap assembly
and connect it to the detector.
