cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum Rev. B | 2022.09 Be careful not to trap the wire outside the enclosure when closing the door. 3 SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS The cGas Ammonia Vent Line Detector comes with a catalytic ammonia sensor potted inside the 5cm / 2 in long pipe fitting that protrudes from the back of the enclosure.
Rev. B | 2022.09 cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum 4 INSTALLATION The cGas Ammonia Vent Line Detector is intended to be permanently mounted indoors on the ammonia vent relief stack above the pressure relief valve. If the device is not installed within two weeks of delivery, the sensor may require a longer warm up time to stabilize (approximately 48 hours) and provide accurate readings.
cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum Rev. B | 2022.09 NOTE: A calibration label should be applied after every calibration to confirm work performed and the date it was confirmed. If a controller is involved, the alarm set points should be indicated on a label on the front door of the enclosure so anyone working in the environment can be aware.
Rev. B | 2022.09 cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum 5.2 Set Calibration Gas Value Check to make sure that the calibration gas value set in the transmitter matches the gas concentration of the calibration gas you are using. How much gas the sensor detects is directly related to the Calibration Gas setting and the actual concentration of calibration gas used during calibration.
cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum Rev. B | 2022.09 Ammonia is a reactive gas and can adhere to surfaces which can reduce the amount of gas that reaches the sensor. When calibrating an ammonia sensor use a length of tubing no longer than 0.6 to 1 m / 2 to 3 ft.
Rev. B | 2022.09 cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum NOTE: To exit the Span Calibration at any time, press ENTER. From the main display, press ENTER. Enter passcode 3032 using the UP button and ENTER button. Enter Password 3032 Press ENTER to access the Calibrate Menu.
cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum Rev. B | 2022.09 5.6.1 Calibration Adapter Plug Doesn’t Fit Use a slight twisting motion as you gently push the calibration adapter plug (p/n: CET-7000- CAP) into the sensor opening. If it is hard to insert, moisten the O-ring seal slightly then try re-inserting it.

Rev. B | 2022.09 cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum The replacement sensor comes potted in a 2” pipe with the wires attached to a Plug & Play smart board that plugs into the main board. The image in Section 4.3 Interior Enclosure shows the sensor installed. NOTE: In order to remove the smart board from the interior of the enclosure, the transmitter needs to be removed from vent stack.
cGas Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter - Addendum Rev. B | 2022.09 7 MAINTENANCE There are no serviceable elements other than the calibration instructions outlined in this manual. There are no replaceable components except the sensor. The cGas Ammonia Vent Line Detector requires no assembly and very little maintenance. The transmitter should be regularly inspected and monitored for possible damaging conditions.
