DALEMANS. 1.1. Certification DALEMANS declares that the explosive gas detector D•TEX3F+ is certified for use in zone 2 explosive atmospheres and that it meets the provisions of the European Directives and the following standards: ▪...
Use in danger zones other than mines (group II – category 3); ▪ Use in zone 2 of explosive gaseous atmospheres; ▪ Operation at a temperature of 0 °C to +50 °C. Cable gland • Connection Detection head Figure 2: view of the D•TEX3F detector www.dalemans.com...
The density of a gas increases when the ambient temperature increases. ▪ For the installation of a detector at height, DALEMANS recommends the use of the “Collector cover D•LINE” (see "Spare parts and accessories”). Below are some examples of detector positions depending on the gas to be detected:...
The D•TEX3F+ may be mounted horizontally or vertically. ▪ For vertical assembly, the box’s cable glands can be oriented upwards or downwards but the cover must always be in the position below. BOTTOM BOTTOM Figure 4: vertical mounting of the D•TEX3F+ www.dalemans.com...
Wiring must comply with local standards and regulations. It must also meet the electrical requirements of the D•TEX3F+ detector. ▪ DALEMANS recommends the use of a flexible conductor cable in different colours. ▪ The section of the conductors must be between 0.75 and 1.5 mm and depends on the distance separating the detector from the alarm panel.
The gas detectors must be calibrated at least once a year to compensate for the loss of sensitivity of the sensors. This calibration must be carried out according to the procedure given by DALEMANS or by its local representative and, in any case, by qualified personnel having received appropriate training.
SPECIFICATIONS To guarantee safety and performance, any gas detection installation must be calibrated and maintained regularly according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
