To determine your sensor type and options, check the shipping carton. Checked
items are included in the carton. Also check the sensor ID label located on the sen-
sor module. The carton label identifies:
-
Type of unit supplied [Gas Monitor, Gas Monitor Less Sensor, or
Sensing Module]
-
Type of gas [combustible gas, toxic gas or oxygen]
-
Range [% LEL, PPM [parts per million], or %]
-
Output [3 wire, 4 to 20 mA]

Installing Your Gas Monitor
For further information see installation drawings in the appendix.
Generally, the ULTIMA X Series Gas Monitors or remote sensing module should be
mounted close to the area where a leak is likely to occur or where the gas is expect-
ed. Install the ULTIMA X Series Gas Monitors or the remote sensing module at a
high level [ceiling] or low level [floor], depending on the density of the gas most likely
to be found.
Attention!
Mount the ULTIMA Gas Monitor or the remote sensor module with the
sensor inlet fitting [
downward; otherwise, the inlet may become clogged with particulate
matter or liquids.
Mount the ULTIMA XIR Gas Monitor or Remote Sensing Module with the
sensor inlet fitting extended horizontally from the main enclosure
matter on the monitor's optical surfaces.
Do not paint the ULTIMA X Series Gas Monitors. If painting is done in an
area where a sensor is located, exercise CAUTION to ensure paint is not
deposited on the sensor inlet fitting. Such paint deposits would interfere
with the diffusion process, whereby a sample of the monitored atmos-
phere diffuses into the sensor. In addition, solvents in the paint may
cause an alarm condition to occur.
Protect the ULTIMA X Series Gas Monitors from extreme vibration. Do
not mount sensing head in direct sunlight as this may cause overheating
of the sensor.
