Precautions: 

To avoid instrument damage and potential dangerous accident; do not use this product before reading 
the manual. 

Introduction: 

This sensor/controller detects generally used refrigerant gases within Australia (R22, R123, R134a, R404, 
R407, R410 etc) within the range 0-1000ppm via diffusion. Each sensor is factory calibrated to a specific 
gas type and output type and range. It has an analog output which can be one of the following, 4-20mA; 
0-20mA; 0-5V; 0-10V. There is also a volt free relay which can be user programmed to operate anywhere 
within the sensor range. The unit is powered and calibrated to 24VDC. 

Specifications: 

 
Power Requirements: 

24V~32V DC (24V recommended) 

Wiring Requirements:

  3 core with overall screen with current carrying capability to suit the length 

 

 

 

 

of cable run, Screen must be connected to the Earth connection on the  

 

 

 

 

connector P1. 

Power Consumption:

 

<300mW (average) 

Output Types:

 

 

4-20mA(Standard), 0-20mA, 0-5v, 0-10v (User Specified)

 

 

Target Gas: 

 

Refrigerant (R22, R123, R134a, R404a, R407c, R410a, etc) user specified  

Target Gas Range:   

0-1000ppm 

Gas supply: 

 

By diffusion (atmospheric pressure) 

Alarm Relay: 

 

Adjustable alarm level with on board buzzer, 5 second alarm validation period 

Fault/ Alarm Warning:

 

Fault; Red LED, Alarm; Red LED and on board buzzer 

Operating Temperature: 

0 to 40 °C 

Operating Air Pressure: 

800 to 1200 hPa

 

Operating Humidity: 

0 % to 95 % rel. humidity (not condensing) 

Accuracy of Reading:

 

1% FS

(1)

 

Sensor Start Up Time:

 

<2 minutes 

Sensor Accurate After: 

<30 minutes 

Response Time:

 

 

Approx. 30secs 

Zero Drift: 

 

 

≤2% FS

(1)

 p.a 

Span Drift: 

 

 

≤2% FS

(1)

 p.a 

Enclosure Size:

 

    

Clipsal single gang switch plate (116 x 76mm)  

 

 

 

 

In wall dimensions 73 x 53 x 48 (L, W, D) 

 

Note: 
1. FS = Full Scale  

 

The sensor requires a peak current of 400mA at 24V DC with a repetition rate of 250msecs, please ensure 
the external power supply can meet this demand.
