3.0 Installation
3.1 Receipt of Equipment
All equipment shipped by General Monitors is pre-packed in shock absorbing containers,
which provide protection against physical damage (original containers should be kept for
future shipping or storage needs).
Shipping container contents should be carefully removed and checked against the packing
list. If any damage has occurred, or there is any discrepancy in the order, please notify
General Monitors as soon as possible.
All correspondence with General Monitors must specify the equipment part number and serial
number.
The factory tests each unit; however, a complete system checkout is suggested upon initial
installation to ensure system integrity.
WARNING:
Installation and maintenance must be carried out by suitably skilled and
competent personnel only.
3.2 Tools Required
“5 mm” Allen head wrench to remove enclosure lid (included with gas detector).
Flat-head screwdriver maximum 3/16” (5 mm) width for terminal block connections
(included with gas detector).
Adjustable wrench for conduit or cable gland connections (not included).
3.3 Choosing Product Locations
There are no standard rules for sensor placement, since the optimum sensor location is
different for each application. The customer must evaluate conditions at the facility to make
this determination. Generally, the Model S4000CH Intelligent Sensor should be easily
accessible for calibration checks.
The sensor should be mounted pointing down to prevent water build-up on the
sensor head.
The sensor should not be placed where contaminating substances may coat it.
Although the S4000CH is RFI resistant, it should not be mounted in close proximity to
radio transmitters or similar equipment.
Locate the S4000CH where prevailing air currents contain the maximum
concentration of gas.
Locate the S4000CH near possible sources of gas leaks.
Observe the S4000CH’s temperature specification and locate the unit away from
concentrated sources of heat.
