5 Deployment
Deployment is the process of placing detectors and HUB(s) throughout the work site and to be used in an
operational state. With the exception of the AC connector for the HUB, all other components are able to
operate in hazardous locations.
The detector and HUB must be oriented upright and should avoid direct sunlight if possible.
Detectors must have SensorShield and SunShield installed during deployment. Prior to deployment,
confirm that the detector is equipped with sensors to detect the target gasses by:
1) Note current gas reading. This is the initial gas reading.
2) Press the detector button to note next gas reading.
3) Continue to press detector button until the initial gas reading is displayed again.
Detectors must be oriented as shown below:
5.1 Network Detector Placement
5.1.1 Detector
The distance at which detectors are able to connect to another detector or HUB is reduced by physical
obstructions between the detectors and environmental conditions.
Any mention of maximum connection distance is understood to be under ideal conditions.
The interface feedback on the detector is the correct method to verify connections not distance alone, e.g.
network icon
and LED blinks green.
Push the detector button to update the strength of signal indicators within 20 seconds to assist in detector
placement. There is a time delay for a detector to update its network connectivity status as indicted by its
LED lights as follows:
• Connection lost, 3-5 minute delay.
• Connection acquired, 2 minute delay.
While deploying detectors, the top LED blinks green indicating the detector is connected to the HUB. If the
color of the LED light changes to light purple, this indicates the detector is not connected to the HUB. Move
closer to the HUB until the LED blinks greens indicating the connection is established or place another
detector from the same network in-between to facilitate a hop. A hop is defined as a communication to the
HUB by using a neighboring network detector as a repeater to reach the HUB.
