Gas Leak Detection GLD
Page 1 of 4
Description
The GLD gas leak detection range is suitable for use in Boiler
Rooms and other Commercial applications to provide safety and
shut down functions in the event of gas leakage.
Control units are available in 1, 2 or 3 channels for connection to
1, 2 or 3 remote sensors. They are mounted in DIN rail housings
with the option of panel or wall mount enclosures.
Output relays to operate auxiliary devices such as Solenoid Gas
Valves or Sirens and fault remote signalling are fitted to all units.
Power supply is 230Vac or 12-24Vdc and sensors are available
for both Natural Gas, LPG/Propane and Carbon Monoxide.

Installation
Detector
The detector must be sited in a dry space in which the relevant
ambient limits shown in the Technical Specification are observed.
If sited in a space classified as “Dangerous” it must be installed
in a cabinet for electrical devices constructed according to the
regulations in force for the danger class involved.
The controller can be installed on a DIN rail or in a DIN
modular enclosure.
Sensors
The correct siting of the sensors is essential for efficient
operation and depends on the type of gas to be monitored and
its density in respect of air:
Methane-natural gas (light): 10…50 cm from the ceiling
LPG-propane (heavy): 10…50 cm. from the floor
CO-carbon monoxide: 150…200 cm. from the floor
It is advisable to position the sensors at a certain distance from
the gas appliances so as to avoid triggering unnecessary alarms:
Boilers & calorifiers : 1…2 meters
Gas cookers : 2…3 meters
Shut-off solenoid valve
This must be installed on the gas feed pipe, possibly
outside the
space controlled, in a place which is easily accessible and is
protected from bad weather.
In LPG installations the valve must be installed
downstream of
the pressure reducing valve
(30 ... 40 mbar).
