GG-NH3 Warning Use this product only in the manner described in this manual. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Calibration Technologies, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. This equipment should be installed by qualified personnel.
GG-NH3 General Description Installation Locating the sensor The GG-NH3 sensor is a +24 VDC, three-wire, 4/20 mA sensor for ammonia which utilizes proven electro- One of the most important considerations when chemcial sensor technology for fast and accurate leak installing the GG-NH3 sensor is that it must be easily detection.
GG-NH3 Installation Guidelines: • Remove and discard protective cell label. • Always mount sensor vertically. 6.5" • Locate sensor to be easily accessible for calibration 2.0" and maintenance. • Mount sensor close to potential leak source. • Mount sensor in "breathing zone" (4'-5' above floor) for optimum personnel protection.
GG-NH3 Wiring Electrical wiring must comply with all applicable codes. Electrical Power: 24 VDC regulated, 350 mA. Output: Linear 4/20 mA output. Monitoring equipment may have a maximum input impedance of 700 ohms. Cable Recommendation: 20/3 shielded cable (General Cable C2525A or equivalent). Length of cable to sensor should be no greater than 1,500 feet.
Calibration • Once the output signal has peaked (or 2 minutes maximum) adjust the Span pot until the correct The GG-NH3 sensor comes factory calibrated and output is achieved (see Figure 2). With full-scale should require only minimal adjustment after span gas, the calculated span value is 200 mV.

GG-NH3 Fault (red) LED: • Blinks once per second if SafeCell test fails. • On steady if supply voltage is less than 10VDC or SafeCell test fails for six hours. Status (amber) LED: • Blinks once per second if RFI is detected.
Maintenance Sensor Life: The electrochemical cells are extremely reliable, but several things can cause depletion of the The GG-NH3 sensor is designed for long life and chemistry within the cell including: minimal maintenance. For proper operation, it is • A period of time essential that the test and calibration schedule be •...
GG-NH3 Specifications Power (green) LED: Blinks once per second for 60 seconds during power-up. If supply voltage is too Input Power: +24 VDC, 350 mA low (<10 VDC) or improperly grounded, green LED Detection Principle: Electrochemical will blink once per second continuously. Stays steady Detection Method: Diffusion on to indicate power.
