500 Ohms at 20 VDC 
200 Ohms at 12 VDC 

 
Hazardous Locations Enclosures: 
 

 

Expl. Proof: CL1. Div 1, Gr. A, B, C, D  

 

 

CSA, FM, ATEX Approval 

 
Temperature 

-40 C to +50 C (-40 F to +122 F) 

 
Humidity 

0 - 99 % RH (Non- Condensing) 

 
Calibration recommendation:  every 90 days max. 

 

* Please allow 24 hours warm-up time period before calibrating 
 

2.  INSTALLATION 

 
Sensor orientation should be pointing downwards.  
 
Mounting  height  is  dependent  upon  whether a gas is heavier or lighter than air: Methane (natural gas), 
Hydrogen  and  Ammonia  are  lighter  than  air,  sensors  should  be  placed  close  to  the  ceiling.  Most  other 
combustible gases are heavier than air and the sensor should be placed close to the floor.  
 
Take note of any barriers, which may cause the gas to collect. Note likely sources of gas and place the 
sensors near them.
