35-3001-01H Hydrogen Sample-Draw Detector • 3

The housing door is hinged on the left side and is secured by two latches on the right side. The 
flowmeter and status LEDs are visible through a window in the housing door. 

Four mounting feet are attached to the back of the housing (one at each corner). Use the mounting 
feet to install the housing to a vertical surface. 

Sample Fittings

The sample fittings are located on the left side of the bottom of the housing. The inlet fitting is near 
the front of the housing and the exhaust fitting is near the back of the housing. The sample fittings 
accept 1/4 in. rigid tubing. See the Installation section on page 6 to connect tubing to the sample 
fittings.

Particle Filter

A particle filter with a tubing stub on one end is shipped with the instrument but it is not factory 
installed. If the particle filter is installed directly to the inlet fitting, the tubing stub must be used. If 
the particle filter is installed somewhere else, like at the end of the inlet line, the tubing stub can be 
used or removed.

Conduit Hub

One 3/4” conduit hub is located on the right side of the bottom of the housing. It is used for routing 
wiring into the housing by using conduit or an appropriate cable bushing.

Internal Components

This section describes the sample-draw detector’s internal components (see Figure 1). Figure 2 
illustrates how the gas sample moves through the flow system.

Main Circuit Board

The main circuit board includes the detector/amp terminal strip, interconnect terminal strip, oxygen 
sensor terminal strip, pump connector, and flowmeter circuit board connector (see Figure 1).
