Installation
Detector Environment
The Detector is designed for use indoor safe non- explosive
atmospheres only. It should be installed at a suitable height
adjacent to the Gas Chromatograph it is connected to. Please
see the
Tubing lengths
section for further details on maximum
distances from the GC for maximum performance of the
detector.
Performance of the Detector (like all sophisticated
equipment) is affected by ambient conditions. Note should
also be taken to the proximity of Air Conditioning outlets.
These can sometimes give rise to “pockets” of air with high
relative humidity. Operation of the unit within such a pocket
could adversely affect its performance. Please refer to the
drawing below for the general dimensions of the unit.
Maximum Ambient Conditions: 40°C (dry bulb) 90%RH (Max) Non-Condensing
Location
The detector can be located on a flat surface or wall mounted for operation -
this will ensure that you can locate it within the maximum distance required for
the unit to successfully monitor for Hydrogen leaks.
The Peak Hydrogen Detector is supplied with a bracket to allow a simple way
to mount the unit to a wall near the GC.
Use 2 x M4 Screws or equivalent (not supplied) for mounting the bracket to the
wall. You will then be able to lower the detector unit onto the wall bracket. The
wall mounting has been specially designed to allow greater serviceability by
enabling the unit to be taken down off of the wall for service and maintenance
work to be carried out, without having to remove the wall bracket.
