Product Identification and Type
The products are named D-Guard

S. The products classification are either as loop-powered toxic
and flammable gas detectors (no relays or sounder), or as 3-wire connected toxic and flammable gas detectors
when fitted with either the relay option (R version) or both relay and sounder (S version).
Individual detectors are identified by a unique serial number located on the product identification plate fixed to
the side of the enclosure. Reference to this label is important to correctly identify the product build and gas
type. Detectors must only be used in applications for which they are compatible.

S are non-Ex certified detectors and MUST NOT be used in applications requiring
explosion protected Ex certified equipment.
The gas type and range detectable by the unit are set by the combination of an appropriate sensor type being
installed and by configuration via the set-up menus.
However
- for the product to remain compliant with its
warranty, end users are
NOT
permitted to change the gas type measured by substitution of sensor type. This is
only permitted to be carried out by Gastech or an approved Gastech representative.
If changes to the gas sensor type are carried out by the end user, product warranty will be
invalidated.
End users may change the gas measurement
range and displayed gas name
via the configuration
menus and / or HART communications, however Gastech will not accept responsibility for, nor accept
liability for damage or injury caused by instruments rendered unsuitable for any particular application
following such changes. The facility for configuring the detector from within its operating system is
primarily intended for use by GasTech appointed distributors and service teams.
The following table specifies the default 'as-supplied' product variations.
