  • Page 5: A11 Sensor/Transmitter

    GasSens Gas Detection System Section 1 - Overview A11 Sensor/Transmitter Consists of an electrochemical gas sensor closely coupled to a NEMA 4X transmitter. This component measures gas concentration and converts the measurement to a digital signal for transmission to a receiver module. It must be mounted in the area where gas leakage or buildup is expected, and can either be wall mounted or supported by electrical conduit carrying interconnecting wiring.

  • Page 24: External Horn Relay

    GasSens Gas Detection System Section 2 - A14 Receiver Module Relays may be configured for either Fail-safe or Normal operation. The designation of normal or fail-safe refers to the operation of the relay coil during normal operation. A relay configured for Normal operation will have the relay coil energized when an alarm occurs and de-energized during normal operation.

  • Page 25: Operation

    GasSens Gas Detection System Section 2 - A14 Receiver Module OPERATION Startup Receiver front panels contain four LED bar indicators and a 4 digit LED display. The digital display indicates gas concentration in either PPM, PPB, or percent. The green LED bar is marked with the gas symbol and units of measurement (PPM, PPB, or %) specified on the customer order.

    GasSens Gas Detection System Section 2 - A14 Receiver Module When the Auto-Test is activated, the generator will turn on for a maximum of 5 minutes. If no sensor response is detected during this time, the generator will turn off and the receiver will wait for 15 minutes before initiating another Auto-Test.

  • Page 28: Manual Auto-Test

    GasSens Gas Detection System Section 2 - A14 Receiver Module Manual Auto-Test Gas detection systems purchased with the optional Auto-Test generator may be tested by manual activation of the generator from the receiver module.
