Junction Box
The stainless steel, corrosion resistant junction box allows you to install the detector at a
mounting site that is remote from a controller, and it protects the detector wiring
connections. Two conduit hubs allow you to mount the detector to the junction box and
connect the wiring from the detector to a controller. An O-ring seals the interface between
the junction box cover and the junction box base.
The terminal block within the junction box facilitates the wiring process. A cover on the
front of the junction box allows access to the interior of the junction box. A locking set
screw on the junction box cover allows you to secure the junction box cover and prevent it
from being removed.
Installation
This section describes procedures to mount the CO detector in the monitoring
environment and wire the detector to a controller.
Mounting the CO Detector
1.
Select a mounting site that is representative of the monitoring environment. Consider
the following when you select the mounting site.
•
Select a site where the detector is not likely to be bumped or disturbed. Make sure
there is sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration
procedures.
•
Select a site where the target gas is likely to be found first.
NOTE:
If your application does not require a specific mounting site, mount the detector
at approximately breathing level.
