5. Installation
▪
Leave a distance of more than 30mm from each side of the detector for
removal purpose.
▪
Leave a distance of more than 50mm from the top of the detector to allow the
cover to slide open.
▪
Leave enough space for cable wiring below the detector.
NOTE
▪
Avoid strong mechanical shock, impact or vibration to the detector by dropping or
bumping. Failure to do so may impair the performance of the detector.
▪
Do not install the detector in the following conditions.
- Outdoors
- Exposure to water spray
- Outside the following operating temperature/humidity
-10 to +50 °C (no rapid temperature change)
0 to 85% RH (no condensation)
- Presence of corrosive gas
- Exposure to impact or vibration
- Presence of high frequencies or a magnetic field
- Exposure to electrical noise
- Exposure to dust
- Exposure to high winds (higher than 6 m/s or 13.4 mph)
▪
Install the detector in a location that ensures easy access for maintenance.
▪
Install the detector vertically with the sensor on top. Proper gas detection is not possible
if installed inverted, at an angle, or horizontally.
▪
CO
2
is heavier than air, so the recommended sensor height is 150 cm (head height)
unless otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations. Install the unit with its gas
detection port free from obstructions.
▪
Secure the cover by tightening the two fastening screws. Proper gas detection is not
possible if the cover is not tightly closed.
▪
Do not use or store the detector where alcohols, acetone, or volatile oil is present. That
may compromise the product
’s detection performance.
▪
Do not use or store the detector where chlorine or corrosive gas is present. That may
compromise the product
’s detection performance.
▪
Exposure to alkali metals especially salt spray) or other inorganic elements may
contaminate the sensor and compromise the detection performance.
▪
Accurate measurement is not possible, if installed beyond standard sea-level
atmospheric pressure range (e.g. at high-altitude).
▪
CAUTION
▪
This product is not explosion-proof equipment and should not be installed in a hazardous
area.
▪
Do not use the product at an area where the CO
2
concentration is less than 360 ppm.
