PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The DGi-TT7-E is designed to monitor poisoning risk induced by the presence of toxic gases or vapours (hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide, ammonia...). The DGi-TT7-O is designed to monitor the oxygen concentration in %vol either for inerting (scales 1 or 5%vol.) or in breathable atmosphere control (Scale 0-25%vol). Both versions are equipped with electrochemical cells.
1.2. DGi-TT7-E The DGi-TT7-E is a MultiTox detector based on a transducer with electrochemical cell, which requires oxygen to function properly. The measuring principle is based on a redox reaction. In the event of a long period without oxygen, the measurement will not be representative of gases or vapours concentration.
1.6. Technical specifications Each detector is constructed as follows: • A wall-mounted support secured by three screws and including cable gland (M20) (optional). There are 2 standard entries and an optional one. • A stainless steel explosion-proof housing containing: • A set of tropicalized electronic cards •...
• Explosion proof “d” for the DG-TT7-S versions. They cannot be removed when the detector is powered. They are common to all Simtronics MultiTox products in order to reduce the number of spares parts. • DGi-RT7-E / DGi-RT7-O et DG-RT7-S: Network versions for Syntel loop, •...

The maximum communication distance is between 7 to 9 m. MultiTox : DGi-TT7-E/O &...
4.3. Electric Connection Never adjust electric connections when detectors are powered. Maintenance must be undertaken by qualified staff. Observe safety site rules. MultiTox are sensors with standard current output 4-20mA or 0-22mA. The connection can be on 3 or 4 wires. The 4 wires configuration allows insulation between the signal and power loops.
Page 21
4.3.1. Installation recommendation This detector version is supplied in an electronic version Type-C. The terminal V- is isolated from the electric ground of the housing detector supplied with configurable current output type C (4-20 mA, factory configuration). But it can be modified in format 0-22 mA by the user, using one of the menus of the TLU 600.
Page 22
4.3.2. Connection of the electrical ground braid Use a shield connection clamp (not supplied) to connect the shielding of the cable to the electric ground of the housing (see § below). 4.3.3. Grounding A M4 screw passes through the body of the enclosure, enabling the electronic ground of the housing to be connected to the local ground.

OPERATION 6.1. Environmental conditions The lifetime of the electrochemical cartridges for toxic gas detector depends on the operating environment related to temperature, humidity and high exposures. One will take care to avoid long exposures to a hot and dry atmosphere (T°> 30°C and RH<10%), and gas exposures 4 times higher to the scale.
6.2. Inhibition Maintenance Inhibition is temporary. It appears during power up and maintenance. Inhibition stops automatically when the operator gets out of the maintenance menus or after 10 minutes if communication with the TLU has been interrupted. Maintenance inhibition can be configured in "frozen" mode (factory setting) or in "free" mode.
6.4. Alarm indication When an alarm status is confirmed, the backlight turns red. Moreover, the display indicates the alarm level and the current concentration. The remaining information which is usually recorded in the display cycle are not provided anymore, in order to keep the detection and current alarm level as a priority. If the alarm memorization is enabled, the backlight remains red and the alarm indication appears in the display cycle until the alarm is acknowledged with the TLU or until the detector is powered off, then powered on again.
6.5. Display indication The 4 Digits display provides several information, depending on the state of the device: TARTING • Display cycle : concentration and measuring scale (meas then % or ppm then gas) • Alternately indicates the inhibition mode and the remaining warming up time ORMAL OPERATING MODE The digital readout provides the following information: •...
6.6. Wireless communication tool TLU600 All settings and tests of detectors can be done by the wireless communication tool TLU600. This communication tool and its software are compatible with all Simtronics detectors: MultiFlame, MultiTox and MultiXplo. Communication is made via infrared link (IrDA), similar but more efficient than infrared links for computers.
