GG-VL2-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.
General Description Installation Locating the sensor The GG-VL2-NH3 sensor is a +24 VDC, three-wire, 4/20 mA sensor for ammonia. It provides an industry Note: The ½” nipple of the supplied mounting kit standard linear 4/20 mA output signal compatible with should be welded to the relief header to allow airflow most gas detection systems and PLCs.
GG-VL2-NH3 Installation Guidelines: • Always assume system could discharge at any moment. Stay clear of discharge path and have escape route planned. • Make sure ammonia does not discharge onto sensor assembly or personnel working on sensor (i.e. mount sensor opposite side of discharge).
GG-VL2-NH3 Wiring Electrical wiring must comply with all applicable codes. Electrical Power: 24 VDC regulated, 80 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.
LED is not flashing. The GG-VL2-NH3 is designed with a unique safety • Adjust the zero pot until the sensor outputs 40 signal latching feature. When the signal reaches 1% mVdc from Test [-] to Test [+] (see Figure 3).
