3 Installation and Operating Instructions

The following instructions are intended to serve as a guideline for the use of the Macurco RD-VRF Refrigerant Leak
Detector. It is not to be considered all-inclusive, nor is it intended to replace the policy and procedures for each
facility
This detector helps monitor for the presence and concentration level of a certain
specified airborne gas. Misuse may produce an inaccurate reading, which means that
higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could result in
overexposure and cause serious injury or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User
manual, or contact Technical Support at 1-844-325-3050.

3.1 Location

An RD-VRF is normally mounted low in the room on a wall or column one foot above the floor in a central area
where air movement is generally good. Use the same spacing as for smoke detectors, 30-foot centers, 900 square
feet per detector (84 sq. meters). The coverage depends on air movement within the room or facility. Extra
detectors may be needed near any areas where people work, or sleep, or where the air is stagnant. The RD-VRF
mounts on a 2 gang PVC electrical box supplied by the contractor. Do not install the RD-VRF inside another box
unless it has good air flow through it. Mount the unit near the discharge of the fan coil. Do NOT mount the RD-VRF
where the normal ambient temperature is below 14°F or exceeds 122°F (below -10°C or above 50°C).
High voltage terminals (120/240 VAC) are located within this detector, presenting a
hazard to service technicians. Only qualified technicians should open the detector case
and service the internal circuits. Ensure power is de-energized from the detector relays
prior to servicing the unit. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.
