The ESU fan and gas detector must be connected to a Crowcon Gasmaster or Vortex control panel, which will monitor the fan to ensure a sample is being drawn and display the gas level and activate alarms.

If the gas to be monitored is potentially explosive, for example heavy hydrocarbon gases which can accumulate in drains, the version certified for use in a hazardous area must be used. It is important to note the conditions for connecting and use of the ESU to ensure compliance with the hazardous area certification.
3. If the fuse is OK and the fan is not blocked it is likely that the fan has failed. Replace the fan only with the correct part supplied by Crowcon. Alternative fans must not be used. When replacing fans on certified ESU’s, it is essential that the fan cable gland is screwed securely into the fan junction box, and retained using Loctite 222 thread locking compound.
6. SPECIFICATIONS Important Notice: ESU is designed for rapid detection of significant releases of dense toxic gases such as chlorine, or a build-up of flammable vapours. The operating principle of the ESU results in a diluted gas sample being introduced to the gas detector(s), and therefore the gas level indicated by the sensor will be lower than the actual gas levels present at the release source.

9. APPENDIX C – VORTEX CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS Once the ESU fan has been connected to the relevant Vortex input channel as described in Section 2, the Vortex control panel must be configured to provide the fan monitoring function. The following instructions describe configuration using the Vortex PC software supplied with the Vortex panel.

c) Fault relay logic configuration With the fan running normally the channel display should read 20-30. To test that the Vortex relay outputs operate correctly open the ESU and carefully slow the fan by resting a finger on the inner- hub, the Vortex display should rise above 40 at which point the Level 1 Fan Slow relay should activate.
