1-1. Preface
Thank you for choosing our fixed-type combustible gas detector head GD-D58 series. Please check that
the model number of the product you purchased is included in the specifications on this manual.
This manual explains how to use the detector head and its specifications. It contains information required
for using the detector head properly. Not only the first-time users but also the users who have already used
the product must read and understand the operating manual to enhance the knowledge and experience
before using the detector head.
Note that the detector head cannot be used by itself. Be sure to use it in combination with the dedicated
indicator/alarm unit. Read also the operating manual of the indicator/alarm unit.
1-2. Purpose of use
This detector head is a fixed type gas detector head which detects combustible gases.
Use this detector head in combination with an indicator/alarm unit that indicates a gas concentration
and triggers an alarm.
The detector head detects combustible gases and outputs voltages according to gas concentrations.
The indicator/alarm unit both indicates a gas concentration and, if a preset concentration level is
exceeded, triggers an alarm.
The detector head is a safety unit, not an analyzer or densitometer which performs
quantitative/qualitative analysis/measurement for gases. Please fully understand the features of the
detector head before using it, so that it can be used properly.
The detector head draws air with the built-in pump and detects abnormalities in the air caused by
presence of gases or other reasons (leak) with the built-in gas sensor.
The detector head has a built-in low flow rate detection function and can trigger a fault alarm when the
flow rate inside the tubing drops below a fixed rate.
The detector head has two types of power supply specifications.
