  • Page 4: Product Description

    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The GD10P has been designed with features that provide an effective response to the detection of gas hazards in a wide range of industrial environments from boiler plant rooms to offshore petrochemical installations. These infrared gas detectors differ from all other models, because they utilise silicon based solid-state infrared sources.

  • Page 7: Installation

    INSTALLATION The area in which the detector may be installed must be in accordance with the certification of the detector and in accordance with the standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned. 3.1. Positioning The detector should be mounted where gas leakage is most likely to occur. To detect methane, which is lighter than air, inside an enclosed area the detector should be mounted high in the area to be protected or immediately above potential leakage sites.

    3.3. Weather protection When the GD10P is mounted outdoors, the flow direction indicator must point upwards. See “Flow Direction Indicator” in Fig. 3.2 below. Orientation of the Weather Protection is performed as follows:  Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the Weather Protection ...

    The proper DD for GD10P can be downloaded from HART® Foundation website (search for Simtronics under “Product Catalog”  “Wired www.hartcomm.org Products”, or requested directly from Simtronics. The loading of the DD onto a specific communicator must be done according to the relevant user guide for that communicator.
  • Page 15 5.2.2. Connection For access to the detectors HART® features, connect an industry standard HART® communicator as shown in the following figures depending on the type of analogue interface (source or sink). Note that for the HART® communication to work properly, a minimum loop resistance is required in the current loop.

    MAINTENANCE The GD10P has no user adjustable parts. It is not recommended to open the GD10P, as this will change the internal atmosphere, and the initial calibration could be affected. Opening the GD10P voids all warranty offered at the time of sale. 6.1.
  • Page 21: Calibration Test

    Simtronics has no responsibility for faults introduced by on-site re-zeroing. The GD10 detector is calibrated and temperature tested in a controlled environment at the Simtronics factory. No further calibration is required during the life time of GD10P Page 21 of 32...
  • Page 22 the product, as the zero point and calibration will stay inside the given tolerances. This implies that slight offsets from the zero point of 4.0mA (0%LEL) is to be expected and values up to 4.5mA at room temperature are within specification. In some environments with excessive heat and/or vibration we have noticed that a higher percentage of the detectors develop an offset outside the specified tolerances.
