Page 6: Product Description
Two models are available of this gas detector: GS01 with fixed antenna GS01-EA with extended antenna All information in this manual for the GS01 also applies for the GS01-EA unless explicitly otherwise noted. Measuring principle The GS01 detector utilises infrared absorption spectroscopy. The fundament is the Beer-Lambert Law, which relates the absorption of light to the properties of the material through which the light is travelling. -
Page 7: Instrument Description
Instrument description The GS01 consists of the main housing (316L stainless steel) with mounting bracket, the measuring cell, an antenna (note that the GS01-EA features an antenna connector instead), and the battery compartment (cf. Figure 1-1). Attached to the main housing are the following detachable parts: •... -

Page 10: Installation
The detector is mounted with its long axis horizontally. For the standard GS01 make sure, to the extent possible, that the antenna is vertical (pointing up or down) and that local radio shadowing is kept at a minimum. The GS01-EA may be mounted in any horizontal orientation. -
Page 11: Grounding
The external antenna is connected to the detector with the antenna cable as shown in Figure 2-2. The properties of the antenna cable supplied by GasSecure are shown in Table 2-1. The GS01-EA detector is certified with the coaxial cable and the omni-directional antenna in Table 5-1. Note that the approved cable length range is 0-30 m. -

Page 13: Commissioning
GasSecure GS01 Hardware Manual COMMISSIONING The GS01 detector(s) is (are) set up in a wireless sensor network with a gateway and router. The exact commissioning procedure depends on the selected type of gateway. Therefore, this manual must be used together with the relevant documentation written for the respective gateway. -
Page 14: Table 3-1: Isa100 Objects
GasSecure GS01 Hardware Manual is sent as User Application - Analog Input Object with the attribute “Process Value” (PV). Note that the user may choose which gas configuration to read out by selecting the corresponding PV object (Methane or Propane) for publication. The device health information is compiled and sent as User Application Management Object with the attribute “Diagnostic Status”... -
Page 15: Gs01 Data Format Details
Modification of LEL Regionally different conversion factors may apply for the display of measured concentrations in percent of the lower explosion limit (LEL). The GasSecure GS01 gas detector allows you to select one of two LEL categories, which basically correspond with common explosion limits in the USA (NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards ) and Europe IEC 60079-20), cf. -
Page 16: Communication Monitoring
“lost communication” is defined via the stale limit parameter. Please consult the gateway manual for information about setting this stale limit. GasSecure’s recommendation is a sampling interval of 2 sec (see Section 3.3.1) together with a stale limit of 30 times, so that “lost communication” is flagged after maximum 60 sec. - Page 17 GasSecure GS01 Hardware Manual Software tools, drivers, and files (e.g. CF) are available for download at http://tools.gassecure.com. This procedure can be carried out with an unprovisioned GS01 or with a GS01 that earlier has been provisioned to another gateway. 3.7.1...

Page 19: Modifications To An Existing Network
GasSecure GS01 Hardware Manual h) Power up the GS01 by inserting the battery pack. i) The GS01 device should join the network within 5-20 minutes, if it is within radio distance to the gateway and the gateway is set up properly. If the gateway is out of radio range, the GS01 device will try to connect for a period of 60 min and then enter a power-saving mode. -
Page 20: Visual And Functional Check
GasSecure GS01 Hardware Manual Visual and functional check The following activities are recommended before putting into operation the GS01 detector: • The axis of the detector shall be horizontal. • Verify the correct orientation of the weather cap (cf. Figure 2-1). -
