    Flammable Gases. Performance Testing was completed by CSA Group on March 28, 2018. This Model FP-700 detector is performance tested only for methane gas measurement in the 0-100 % LEL (0-5% by volume) range and with use of Accessory PN 613-120000-700 Sensor Splashguard with integral Cal Port.
  • Page 10: Sensor Placement

    The undetected migration of gas clouds should not be allowed to approach concentrated personnel areas such as control rooms, maintenance or warehouse buildings. A more general and applicable thought toward selecting sensor location is combining leak source and perimeter protection in the best possible configuration.

  • Page 11: Sensor Contaminants And Interference

    2.3 Sensor Contaminants and Interference Detcon combustible gas sensors may be adversely affected by exposure to certain airborne substances. Loss of sensitivity or corrosion may be gradual if such materials are present in sufficient concentrations. The performance of the detector elements may be temporarily impaired during operation in the presence of substances described as inhibitors.
  • Page 12: Mounting Installation

    2.4 Mounting Installation The FP-700 sensor assembly is designed to be threaded into a ¾” Female NPT fitting of a standard cast metal, Explosion-Proof Enclosure or Junction Box. Thread the sensor up until tight (5 turns is typically expected) and until the display is pointed in the direction that sensor will normally be viewed and accessed.

Detcon FP-700 combustible gas sensors are factory calibrated prior to shipment, and should not require significant adjustment on start up. However, it is recommended that a complete calibration test and adjustment be performed 16 to 24 hours after power-up.

  • Page 32: Fault Diagnostic/Failsafe Features

    3.6.2 Fault Diagnostic/Failsafe Features Fail-Safe/Fault Supervision Model FP-700 sensors are designed for Fail-Safe operation. If any of the diagnostic faults listed below are active, the ITM Display will alternately scroll the message “Fault Detected” during normal operation. At any time while the “Fault Detected” message is scrolling, hold the programming magnet over PGM2 for 1 second to display the active fault(s).
  • Page 33 If a Loop Fault occurs, the 4-20mA signal will be set at 0mA until the fault condition is resolved. If the 4-20mA current loop is still out of tolerance, contact Detcon at Service@detcon.com, or contact Detcon customer service.
