Introduction
Sensor Installation Locations
Sensor Installation Locations
The following suggestions should be considered to assure detection of
the target gas. Select the most suitable location for each sensor.
Air Currents: If there are fans, wind, or other sources of air
movement, gases may tend to rise or collect in
certain areas of a facility. The local air currents
should be assessed to aid in selecting the sensor
location. Air convection can often be more important
in determining gas concentration areas than factors
of Vapor Density.
Gas Emission As a rule, at least one sensor should be located in
Sources: close proximity to each point where an emission is
likely to occur.
Height: We suggest, dependent of air currents, that the
ToxyPoint be installed at approximately 3 to 5 feet
above ground or higher where CO emission is likely
to accumulate.
