Note: 

In all installations, the sensor element in SS housing points down relative to grade (Fig. 1). Improper sensor

orientation may result in false reading and permanent sensor damage.

3.5.3  Local Electrical Codes

Sensor and transmitter assemblies should be installed in accordance with all local electrical codes. Use appropriate

conduit seals. Drains & breathers are recommended. The sensor assemblies are CSA-NRTL approved for Class I;

Groups B, C, D; Div. 1 environments.

Note:

An appropriate conduit seal must be located within 18" of the sensor assembly. Crouse Hinds type EYS2,

EYD2 or equivalent are suitable for this purpose.

3.5.5  Installation Procedure

a)

Remove the junction box cover and un-plug the control circuit by grasping the two thumb screws and pulling outward.

b)

Securely mount the sensor junction box in accordance with recommended practice and proper orientation (see fig. 1 & 2).

c)

Observing correct polarity, terminate 3 conductor field wiring to the sensor base connector board in accordance

with the detail shown in Figure 3.

d)

Replace the plug-in transmitter circuit and replace the junction box cover.

3.5.6  Remote Mounting Applications

Some sensor mounting applications require that the gas sensor head be remotely mounted away from the sensor

transmitter. This is usually true in instances where the gas sensor head must be mounted in a location that is diff i-

cult to access. Such a location creates problems for maintenance and calibration activities. Detcon provides the TP-

524C sensor in a remote-mount conf iguration in which the sensor (Model TP-524C-RS) and the transmitter (Model

TP-524C-RT) are provided in their own condulet housing and are interfaced together with a four conductor cable.
