Gas Detector
Operating and Installation Instructions
ExDetector HC 150 / HC 150-K
Prerequisites for safe operation of the system:
●
Appropriate transport and handling
●
Appropriate installation and commissioning by suitably qualified personnel
(e.g. a qualified electrician)
●
Observance of the data sheet, the operating instructions and relevant
safety regulations, e.g.:
-
Explosion Protection Regulation (ExVo)
-
Explosion Protection Rules (BGR 104)
-
BGV B 6 Gases
●
Use only in areas where there is a potenial explosion hazard and an
oxygen concentration of not more than 20.9 vol. %
Important Instructions
●
Avoid external influences such as waves of water, oil etc., and exposure to
causes of mechanical damage.
●
Observe the air flow situation! Always place the sensor head in an air flow
between a potential release or collection point and a possible ignition
source.
●
Consider the density of the gas! For gases with a lower density than air, for
example methane, the detector must be located above a possible leakage
point, or at the highest point at which the gas can collect. When monitoring
gases and vapours that have a higher density than air, the detector must,
accordingly, be positioned at the lowest point, or near a potential leakage
point.
●
Install the detector in a location where there is low vibration, and where the
temperature is as stable as possible.
●
Ensure that there is adequate space for maintenance of the detector.
Installation
Follow the prescribed specifications for cables and connections. It is important
that the cable does not pass close to a source of electromagnetic interference.
Compliance with the limits specified in standards relevant for the CE-symbol is
only assured with proper use and electromagnetically-compatible installation
of the system.
