3.2.2 Detection Location Guidelines
There are no standard rules for detector placement since the optimum sensor location is unique
for each application. Before installing the TS4000, check the conditions at the installation site to
make this determination. The following guidelines can assist in determining the best possible
placement of the TS4000:
To Find a Suitable Installation Location
1. Locate the TS4000 near potential gas leak sources and away from excessive heat, light,
wind, dust, water, vibration, shock, and radio frequency interference (RFI). For
Environmental Specifications, refer to Section 9.5.
2. Ensure the installation location has sufficient space to accommodate the Base Unit,
Interface Module, electrochemical cell, and all necessary cabling.
3. Mount the TS4000 with the electrochemical cell pointing down and in an easily accessible
location for reading of the LED display and calibration checks.
WARNING:
Operation above or below temperature limits may cause unstable readings,
resulting in false alarms or alarm failures. For Environmental Specifications, refer
to Section 9.5.
Electrochemical cells may be affected by exposure to certain gases. While General Monitors
uses extremely selective cells, some cross-sensitivity may occur. The more important
combinations to keep in mind are listed in the table below:
