The Source and Detector
The open path between the source and detector and the immediate
surroundings should be kept clear of obscuration that might hinder the
free movement of air in the protected area or block the infrared beam.

Guidance Tips for Gas Detector Locations
Guidance tips for gas detector locations in order to provide the best
detection coverage:
•
Below potential leak source for heavier than air gases.
•
Above potential leak sources for lighter than air gases.
•
Near to leak sources along the expected leak trajectory, taking into
account prevailing wind directions.
•
Between leak source and potential ignition sources.
