3.  Apply sealant to top flange of collector, making a continuous 5 mm bead along 

each side of the holes.

4.  Place panel on flange (bulged side facing upwards) and align bolt holes in flanges 

with drift pin.

5.  Bolt panel and flange together using bolts, washers and nuts supplied.

  Use washers between panel and bolts.

  Follow the torque value specified on the panel serial plate. Torque should 

be applied crosswise and in a least two stages. Torque values are based 

on new free running bolts coated with light oil. After initial start-up, check 

torque values.

6.  Assemble the explosion detection device (bracket and signalling cable) and place 

into position. The signalling unit including cable loop must be integrated into the 

threaded cable connected in such way that the loop is matching the other side 

of the explosion panel.

7.  Pull the steel cable carefully through the cable loop and fix both mounting eyes 

with the mounting screw (min. M10) of the vent panel.

8.  Now pull the signalling unit carefully to a slight tension and tighten the threaded 

cable connection. The cable shall be at the crest to the dome of the panel or lead 

straight across in case of flat panels.

  Do not bend the stiffened part of the cable as damage could occur. 

  It is mandatory that the cable connection is pulled tight otherwise the signalling 

unit does not break and no alarm signal is actuated. This means that no alarm 

contact or plant shut off is triggered. Heavy damages (e.g. due to further 

transport of burning material or uncontrolled product release) can be the 

consequence.
