1. Very high gas concentrations The measuring method of PQ series detector based on heat produced by reaction on the oxidation of a flammable gas when pellistor sensor used. There is not enough oxygen in the sensor to perform oxidation process correctly in case of high gas concentrations. Hence the measuring signal decreases at high gas concentrations and even can lead to measuring signal within the measuring range again.
PQ Series gas detectors for monitoring a very wide range of toxic and flammable gases and oxygen. PQ series are available as Flameproof (Ex db) detectors suitable for use in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas. Please refer to the certification label on the detector junction box to identify the type of certification that relates to the product supplied.

Directive 2014/34/EU and marked by the device category II 2G. Thus this detector is suitable to be operated in hazardous areas with potentially explosive atmospheres of zone 1 and zone 2. The PQ series detector comprises a gas sensor type Ex-proof (protection type flameproof enclosure db type).
Detector body The detector enclosure has four threaded entries. The two cable entries either side of the upper part of the transmitter housing are for connecting the power source, signal output and relay contacts to associated signalling equipment. The bottom entry allows direct connection of the sensor socket.
Sensor Head Table 1: Detector body types and entry specifications The Prosense sensor head designed to detect flammable, toxic and oxygen gases. Sensor head may include Infrared, pellistor and a wide range of toxic gas sensors based on electrochemical cell (ECC) technology.

Prosense may provide cable gland together with detector in regards to customer requests. The cable gland provided by Prosense has ATEX certification and provides at least IP65 level protection. The cable glands are only suitable for fixed installations. Cable gland body should be fixed to related entry with 20Nm torque.
• in places where temperature is outside the admissible operating range, • corrosive environments, • inside air vents. • environments where silicon can be found. Prosense PQ series detector has mounting two mounting holes on detector body to fix detector directly to a surface: Mounting hole Mounting hole Diagram 6: Mounting holes PRS-UM-PQ-EN-Rev.05-18.06.2020...
Caution: All electrical connections should be made in accordance with any relevant local or national legislation, standards or codes of practice. Prosense detectors can operate between 12 - 24 VDC. The connection socket located on main board as given in Diagram-11 (page 19) and details given in below table 2:...

Minimum power consumption of the detector without any optional module is 1W. The current required to drive the detector at the minimum voltage is (I = P / V) : 1.0 / 12 = 85mA (I detector). Maximum power consumption of the detector when optional relay modules installed and all relays are active is 4.0W.
Cabling The use of industrial grade, suitably shielded field cable is recommended. The best practices shown that, screened 3 cores (plus screen 90% coverage), suitably mechanically protected copper cable with a suitable explosion-proof gland, or ¾” NPT steel conduit, depending on the distance between signal received or control panel and detector 0.5 to 2.5 mm2 (20 to 13 AWG) conductors can give better results.
Detector grounding Internal Ground connection: Each detector has grounding screw which utilizes grounding for detector main PCB to detector body. The screw should be located correctly and fixed for all times. In case of any maintenance activity this screw should be checked and fixed to make sure for proper grounding.
Default configuration Prosense detectors preconfigured to provide signal from analogue output depending on the detector and gas type: Function Value/Setting Meaning 2.0 mA Fault 2.0 mA to 3 mA Warm-up Signal output Calibration mode 4.0 mA to 20.0 mA Normal gas measurement 21.0 –...
RS485 serial communication output: mode resulting with reducing signal level to 2mA. Prosense PQ series detector has RS485 serial communication output on main board. Connection ports are located on a different socket nearby analogue output and power input ports. User should prepare two wire additional cables when RS485 communication used. To use the detector with RS485 serial communication, a four-wire connection should be done which are energy input (V +, V-) ports and RS485 (A, B) ports.
The relay module set to NO (Normally Open – De-Energised) position at factory. The Fault relay is set to NO (Normally Open – Energised). It will be de-energized in case of power failure. This helps user to easily identify any power outage on detector side. The alarm levels are also adjustable via using SW1 and SW2 alarm level pins.
System Status The Prosense PQ detector has a screen to show status messages and measurement levels online. Also it has five LEDs to show power, fault, alarm1, alarm2 and alarm3 status. If all is fine the green power LED will lit and screen will show the gas that detector measuring, current level of gas detector reading, data and time information, ambient temperature and a bar to show level of current gas measurement.
7. Check the screen. It will run self check tests and report the results. All tests should end with OK. In case of any ERROR message contact Prosense. 8. When test completed the screen will show monitoring screen with detector information and WARMUP message on status line.
Commissioning PQN 1. Remove the detector cover 2. Configure the detector's analogue output signal and power input connections correctly 3. Check that all electrical connections are terminated correctly 4. Switch On the external power supply to feed the detector 5. Using a Digital Multi Meter (DMM), check the Supply Voltage at the terminals V+ (24V) and V- (0V), this should be a minimum supply voltage of 12VDC (Maximum supply voltage is 24VDC) 6.

Once set, confirm value with Enter key and move to the next digit. Set Calibration Cycle Prosense recommends performing calibration with six months period. Hence this default value is set to detector in factory. Detector will be faulted when calibration period expire. If user wants to use different calibration period this should be set via using the option “Cal...
During this time you should apply necessary gas for zero level. For catalytic, pellistor and electrochemical sensors use clean air gas, for infrared sensors use N2 gas. For more details contact Prosense. Detector will automatically perform zero calibration while gas applied to Span Calibration sensor during this period.
Typical life of a toxic gas sensor which made by electrochemical component is dependent on the application, frequency and amount of gas exposure. Under normal conditions (visual inspection in 3 months period and test/recalibration in 6 months period), the Prosense Servicing Oxygen and other toxic sensors have an expected life equal to or greater than 24 months.
Sensor replacement: The Flammable Catalytic and Toxic ECC cells that are used with the Prosense Sensor Head have limited serviceable parts. Detector must be diagnosed by service personnel when they have reached the end of their operational life or faced with a fault to follow correct procedure.
