Sensor Installation 1S30 Sensors The 1S30 sensor is available as a single detector or dual detector package. The 1S30A single detector version is depicted below showing the location of the detection window and the approximate coverage zone: Detection window Coverage Zone The recommended spacing for the 1S30A single detectors is approximately 5 - 6 m to ensure adequate detection overlap.
Page 9
The 1S30B Dual detector version provides an additional detection window for dual zones of coverage as depicted below : Detection windows The recommended spacing for the 1S30B single detectors is approximately 5 - 6 m to ensure adequate detection overlap, this combination provides an overall coverage zone of approximately 10 - 12 m.
The 1S30A and 1S30B sensors may also be mixed to provide various coverage combinations, again spacing’s of approximately 5 - 6 m should be observed to ensure adequate detection overlap. 10 - 12m Sensor Placement Sensors need to be mounted to provide full coverage of the switchgear cubicles to be protected. Where the protected zone is larger than the sensor coverage then the use of multiple sensors is required.
