Page 4: Installation
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Parksafe Gas Detector INSTALLATION Planning Our detectors should be installed in areas at risk of gas accumulation. Take in to account the design of the air flow patterns within the parking zone area. Detectors should be installed in the correct orientation, as recommended by the manufacturer, and ease of access should be accounted for to allow for any bump tests and other forms of maintenance and identification. -
Page 5: Mounting
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Parksafe Gas Detector Mounting Unpack all the parts! Designed for surface mounting, it must be installed by a licensed, insured contractor. 1. Carefully remove the front cover of the unit by removing the four screws with a screwdriver. -
Page 6: Wiring Your Detector
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Parksafe Gas Detector Wiring your Detector Power and Modbus data are wired between detectors with the first connected to a control panel DETECTOR CHAIN terminal. For MODBUS communications, a shielded cable is used. The shielding can be of 2 types: braided [mesh of thin conducting wires] or foil (consisting of a thin sheet of metal covering the twisted wires). -
Page 7: Creating A Detector Chain
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Parksafe Gas Detector Creating a Detector Chain Up to 16 Parksafe detectors can be connected, chained in a parallel ‘daisy chain’ method up to approx. 500 yards from the panel depending on chain configuration, wire type for power and condition. Any other way may cause issues or damage to the overall system. -
Page 8: Quick Tips
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Parksafe Gas Detector Quick Tips CONNECTION: The best way to connect devices in a MODBUS RTU is a ‘DAISY CHAIN’ method. MAXIMUM DISTANCE: You may encounter problems when powering gas sensors beyond 500 yards from one control panel, in this instance, contact your supplier. -
