INSTALLATION OF DETECTORS.
6.1.
Place of installation.
The place of installation has a significant impact on the detector's work. The detector should be
mounted:
•
as close as possible to the potential source of gas - no more than 9 m,
•
away from ventilation openings, doors or windows,
•
in a place with free flow of ambient air,
•
in a place with no sun exposure, far from heat sources,
•
in a place not impacted by mechanical damage, vibrations and strong electromagnetic fields,
•
in a place not impacted by direct influence of outside air, water vapour, liquids and car exhaust,
exhaust gases from furnaces and dust.
CO detectors should be mounted at a height of about
1.5-2 m
(i.e. at the height of the head of a person
of an average height).
LPG detectors should be mounted at a height of
15 cm
away from the hollows in the ground.
CNG detectors should be mounted at a height
not lower than 30 cm
below the ceiling or on the ceiling.
6.2.
Mounting position.
Detectors of the PSG-6000 series are recommended to be installed in a vertical position with the gas
inlet down, this position guarantees the best protection against dust and splashes. In the case of
methane detectors, due to the mounting height, a horizontal position (increased susceptibility to dust
accumulation in the gas inlet element) or ceiling mounting is possible although not recommended.
Installation with the gas inlet directed upwards is not allowed, in this position the detector is exposed
to splashes of water and excessive accumulation of dust in the gas inlet. Mounting positions are shown
in Figure 4.
For propane-butane detectors, due to the low mounting height in places exposed to mechanical
damage, it is recommended to use a suitable cover.
