To change the unit address on the GREEN INSTRUMENTS G16:

1. Press and hold the ZERO button for about 5 seconds until all signal strength LEDs turn ON.
2. Release the ZERO button, then press and hold the SPAN button until the unit address appears on the signal strength LEDs.
3. Press the ZERO button to change the unit address to the desired number (e.g., 1 or 2).
4. Release the ZERO button and check if the address is correct.
5. If correct, press and hold the SPAN button until all signal strength LEDs turn ON.
6. To save the new settings, press and hold the SPAN button, then immediately press and hold the ZERO button for about 5 seconds until all signal strength LEDs turn ON.

Addresses 3-15 are not in use.

The sensor status code (Green/Yellow/Red) on the GREEN INSTRUMENTS G16 is not changed manually. It changes automatically based on the system's alarm and warning status:

- Green: No alarm or warning
- Yellow: Active warning
- Red: Active alarm

These colors indicate the global alarm status and cannot be manually configured.

Check the equipment upon arrival, ensuring that the equipment has been transported properly. Check for the absence of any damage. If these are noted, immediately make a note on the delivery document.
Page 14: Installation
Caution Installation and operation of the G16 Smoke Density Monitor and associated equip- ment must be carried out by skilled personnel. Green Instruments A/S does not take any responsibility of the operation of the system and associated equipment whatsoever. The equipment must only be applied as specified by Green Instruments. If the equip- ment is used in a manner not specified by Green Instruments, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Page 15: Standard Installation
G16 Smoke Density Monitor 5.2 Standard Installation The Monitoring Unit can be configured with up to two sets of transceiver/reflector units. The installation of each monitoring point is similar to each other. Figure 5-1 illustrates the installation of a system with only one transceiver/reflector unit.

Page 17: Welding Sockets - Pre-Alignment
G16 Smoke Density Monitor 5.2.1 Welding Sockets – Pre-alignment The transceiver and reflector with air modules are installed on 200 mm long 1” socket pipes that are welded onto each side of the stack wall. It is recommended to shorten the welding sockets to match the thickness of the isolation to increase the stability of the in- stallation.
Page 18: Air Modules, Transceiver And Reflector
Installation 5.2.3 Air modules, Transceiver and Reflector After completing the welding of the sockets and the support and alignment brackets, the air modules can be mounted onto the welding sockets. To avoid gas leaks, it is recom- mended to use e.g. Teflon thread tape in between. Fix the air module in position with the lock screw.

G16 Smoke Density Monitor Figure 5-4: Mounting of Air Module and Reflector 5.2.5 Purge Air System Purge air is connected via the non-return valve, air distributor, and hoses to both air mod- ules. A sealing air kit (part no. 00031) includes the necessary parts.
Page 20: Control And Monitoring Unit
Installation 5.2.6 Control and Monitoring Unit The control and monitoring unit handles up to two (2) sets of transceiver/reflector units. It is recommended to install the control and monitoring unit in an easily accessible location. The information of the control and monitoring unit relevant for installation is provided in Figure 5-5.

Page 25: Set Laser Aligning Function
G16 Smoke Density Monitor • When the illumination changes to one of the LEDs on the left, it indicates that the reflecting beam becomes weaker, i.e. the beam is scattered or blocked, or the lenses become contaminated. When the illumination changes to the last LED to the left, it means the opacity level is just above the warning level.
Page 26: Set Unit Address
Menu Structure & Configuration Press and hold SPAN and ZERO buttons simultaneously and wait approximately 5 seconds until all signal strength LEDs are ON, there will be a steady light beam sending from the transceiver. Then release SPAN and ZERO, you will see one of the signal strength LED remains ON and the Alarm and/or Warning LED might be ON.
