SERIES 3000 MKIII TECHNICAL MANUAL

5.1 Mounting and location of detectors

Caution: The location of the detectors should be made in accordance with any relevant
local and national legislation, standards or codes of practice. Always replace detectors
with a detector of the same type.
The detector should be mounted where the gas is most likely to be present. The following points should
be noted when locating gas detectors.
• When locating detectors consider the possible damage caused by natural events e.g. rain or flooding.
• Consider ease of access for functional testing and servicing.
• Consider how escaping gas may behave due to natural or forced air currents.
Note: The placement of detectors should be determined following the advice of experts having specialist
knowledge of gas dispersion, experts having knowledge of the process plant system and equipment
involved, safety and engineering personnel. The agreement reached on the location of detectors should
be recorded.
Mount the Series 3000 MkIII with the sensor pointing downwards. Integral mounting lugs (suitable for
M8 bolts) are provided on the Series 3000 MkIII transmitter housing for mounting the detector to a wall.
An optional pipe mounting bracket (part number SPXCDMTBR) is available for mounting to a pipe /
pole of diameter 20.0¬-80.0mm (0.8" to 3.1").
