Overview
1.1 Introduction
WARNING
:
Operation of the ChemLogic 8 continuous gas detection system without a manual in the native language in
its country of operation is illegal. A translated copy of the manual should be requested immediately from DOD
Technologies and before installation of the device. Failure to do so may result in severe injury.

The ChemLogic 4 (CL4) & 8 (CL8) continuous gas detection systems should be used exclusively for the quick
detection of toxic, corrosive, and asphyxiant gases for process measurement and personnel safety purposes.
Failure to comply with the intended purpose of the device may result in injury or death.
The DOD Technologies ChemLogic 4 (CL4) ChemLogic 8 (CL8) simultaneously monitors eight locations
(called points)
for toxic and corrosive gases. It responds to gases that exceed a programmed alarm level by:
• Triggering visual alarms that warn of high or low conce
ntrations
• Triggering relays or activating analog outputs to external devices
• Displaying the point number, gas type, and gas concentration
• Recording the alarm information and storing it in memory
The CL/4CL8 triggers relays for each individual point for two levels of gas concentrations. These
programmable limits are factory-set at 1 TLV and 2 TLV for their respective gases.
Each point may be up to 300 feet (91.44 m) from the CL4/CL8 location. This allows operators to monitor gas
concentrations in an area removed from the location where gas may actually be leaking.
The CL4/CL8 provides a fast response to a wide range of gases. It was designed for maximum uptime, so
routine maintenance and service can be performed quickly and easily.
The CL4/CL8 uses DOD Technologies ChemLogic paper tape technology for fast and accurate gas detection.
1.2 Sampling and Monitoring
The system draws sample flow simultaneously from all eight points. Part of the sample flow is diverted
across the ChemLogic tape. All 4/8 channels exhaust through a single port. The ChemLogic 4/8 continuous
gas detection system operates at a noise level below 70 dB(A) and does not require hearing protection for
operation or work within close proximity. Workplace environment outside the ChemLogic 4/8 system may still
require hearing protection. Please consult your safety officer for your recommended safety protocols.
1.3 Flow Connections
Flow connections consist of “quick
-
connect” ports on the top or side of the
CL4/CL8 UNIT. There are eight
inlets, one for each monitored point, and an exhaust outlet.
