Installation and positioning of the Control Unit
The BX150 control unit belongs to group II and must be installed in a safe area;
Outside the ATEX zone
, however, not in boiler rooms or engine room.
The control unit must be accessible and visible to the user.
The BX150 is designed so that it can be mounted into electrical panels.
The Control Unit complete cabinet is an equipment suitable for wall mounting and is powered by 110/240 VAC with
IP44 protection
When installing, it is good to use the normal care that an electronic equipment requires:
- Install the equipment away from excessive heat sources.
- Avoid liquids coming into contact with the control unit, remembering that its external structure has IP20 degree of
protection if installed on the Boxed version (cabinet) supplied to the source is ....
The sensor must be selected with an IP degree depending on the area to be controlled (Kitchens, Boiler
Rooms, Laboratory, etc.) by selecting one of the probes from Beinat from IP30 to ATEX. see page 3
Position of the detection sensor
You can connect many types of remote probes to this unit. Therefore, they should be positioned at different heights
depending on the type of gas to be detected.
These heights are:
- 30 cm from the lowest point of the floor in order to detect:
Heavy gases (L.P.G. etc.)
- 30 cm from the highest point of the ceiling in order to detect:
light gases (Methane, etc.)
- 160 cm from the lowest point of the floor in order to detect:
volatile gases (CO, etc.)
It is important to note that the remote probes should be installed according to the following restrictions:
1) The sensor hould not be placed near the appliances to be controlled (boilers, burners, industrial kitchens, etc.)
but on the opposite side.
2) The sensor should not be affected by smoke, vapour, and moving air, as they could distort their measurement.
3) The sensor should not be placed near sources of heat, ventilators or fans.
It should be noted that the internal GAS sensors of the probe are perishable components with a variable average
life span from 5 to 6 years (you can request the relative table). Therefore, after this period of time has elapsed it
is advisable to replace them.
4) The control of operation and maintenance and / or extraordinary must be carried at least once a year. good
to keep
When turning on leds fault is necessary make the replacement of the probe by a specialized technician.
