Preliminary information

1.1

Purpose

Alpa EcoWent XT is a 3-threshold gas detector for detecting the presence of hazardous concentrations of

carbon monoxide in the surrounding atmosphere, incl. in such facilities as garages and underground car
parks.

The   Alpa EcoWent XT   Gas   Detector   is   not   intended   for   use   in   potentially   explosive
atmospheres.

An electrochemical sensor was used as an element detecting the presence of a hazardous gas. This solution

is characterized by a high resistance to the change of environmental conditions, such as temperature,
humidity,  pressure.  The Alpa EcoWent XT Gas  Detector  is also  characterized  by high resistance to  the

presence of disturbing factors (e.g. methane, isobutane, carbon dioxide), which eliminates generation of
false alarms.
The CO (carbon monoxide) sensor demonstrates a slight sensitivity to hydrogen and ethanol vapours,

however, in typical applications, these gases occur sporadically and in small quantities. More details on
electrochemical sensors can be found in Appendix [2].
Basic operational features include:

safe, low-voltage installation,
ease of installation,
possibility to connect the components in a "bus system" or a "star system",
possibility to connect the Alpa EcoDet XT detector (we obtain a cooperating pair of CO and LPG

detectors),
possibility to calibrate the detector by replacing the sensor plate (shortening the calibration time),
three alarm threshold,
detector failure and loop breaking indication,
long term, stable operation.

These features, at an extremely attractive price, make Alpa EcoWent XT Gas Detector an ideal solution for
low cost applications, e.g. in public construction.

1.2

Description of operation

The Alpa EcoWent XT Gas Detector is one of the elements of the Gas Safety System. It performs cyclical
measurements   of   gas   concentration   in   the   air.   Information   about   exceeding   a   certain   threshold   is

transmitted using the controls located on the side part of the housing (see Figure 2) and output current
signal. In addition, if it works in an alarm loop system (see Section  6.2,  6.3), at its input (via an XT

T- connector) a current signal can be passed from the next detector – Alpa EcoWent XT or Alpa EcoDet XT.
This signal is compared with the local value and a signal corresponding to a status of a higher priority is

transmitted to the output (see Table 1).
