I. INTRODUCTION
1. General Information
300 Series gas detectors are designed to measure combustible toxic gases or vapors and oxygen.
With robust materials, a specifically-adapted design, appropriate accessories, INOX bolts, and a
polyamide case (IP66) (IP55 for the CO
2
version), 300 series detectors are designed to withstand the
roughest conditions.

II. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
For use in explosive atmospheres: in accordance with the European directive ATEX 94/9/EC, you
must read the “Particular Specifications” paragraph.
1. INSTALLING THE DETECTORS
1.1 Layout
While the measuring sensor is always located on the underside of the detector, several factors
determine where the detector should be located:
•
If the gas being measured is lighter than the air, place the detector near the ceiling.
•
If the gas is heavier than the air (CO
2
and Freons, for example) place the detector close to the
floor.
•
Near offtake points.
•
Generally, in locations where gas may accumulate, taking into consideration both
- the effects of temperature, and
- the direction of winds.
