F-Gas Detector Instructions The placement of sensors should be determined following advice of experts having specialist knowledge of gas dispersion and the plant processing equipment as well as safety and engineering issues. The agreement reached on the locations of sensors should be recorded. Gently prize-open the flaps using a screw driver being careful to not damage the flaps (see fig.
F-Gas Detector Instructions Mount device vertically to the wall using the 4 screw holes (fig. 7) with the cable gland pointing downwards. Figure 7: mounting holes Mounting hole spacing: 127.5mm x 62.5mm. Mounting hole diameter: 4mm. Warning: never install the detector with the front panel facing upwards. Doing so may lead to the IR sensor filter becoming blocked by dust/contaminants which could prevent gas from reaching the sensor.
F-Gas Detector Gas Detector Instructions The analog current output is able to The analog current output is able to indicate several different conditions. This complies with several different conditions. This complies with the NAMUR NE43 standards: the NAMUR NE43 standards: 0 to 2.8mA Fault 3.2 to 3.6mA...

F-Gas Detector Instructions 4. Operating the transmitter using the key-pad The control panel (figure 10) of the transmitter is integrated in the front cover. This is required if zero or span calibration has to be carried out. The following operating and display functions are available: Display elements: STATUS STATUS-LED 3-colours (red, yellow, green)
4.5. Maintenance Crowcon recommends the detector is zeroed and tested with gas every 12 months as a minimum. The sensor may be zeroed in clean air, and the target gas must be applied at a known concentration to verify correct sensor response.
F-Gas Detector Instructions The STATUS-LED will then change to signalization, flashing red for 3 seconds and the change to “Regular operation” mode indicated by the STATUS-LED light up green. Generally, maintenance mode will also be exited without taking over any changes if the user has not made any entries for 30 minutes.
F-Gas Detector Instructions Keep the ZERO pressed for 3 seconds. Now, the user must apply the correct sample gas for the ZERO-calibration using the available calibration adapter (typically air or nitrogen. In case of doubt, please contact the supplier). If a stable value is found within a time window (60 seconds) regarding the concentration and this value is found in a plausible value range, the ZERO-LED will change from flashing yellow to steady yellow.

F-Gas Detector Instructions Now, the user is able to set the desired concentration value of the output signal by using the UP and DOWN keys. For this, the relevant set value can be monitored live at the analogue output. Pressing the UP or DOWN keys for longer will lead to an auto-repeat. This feature is helpful for the adjustment for a larger range.
