GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.0 CAUTION: FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE OPERATED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING OR SERVICING. ATTENTION: POUR DES RAISONS DE SÉCURITÉ, CET ÉQUIPEMENT DOIT ÊTRE UTILISÉ, ENTRETENU ET RÉPARÉ...
GDS-58DXP is suitable for the intended use. ▪ The GDS-58DXP is designed and constructed to measure the level of certain gases in ambient air. Accuracy in atmospheres containing steam or inert gases cannot be guaranteed.
The GDS-58DXP consists of a gas detector coupled with an integrated pump / flow switch and wiring junction box. The Run / Cal valve selects between the sample input and local calibration gas input. The Visual Flow Indicator shows GREEN if flow is OK, and RED if flow is blocked or the pump fails.
Figure 2-2: GDS-58DXP Flow Diagram GDS-58DXP SENSOR TECHNOLOGY For toxic gases the GDS-58DXP supports a range of electrochemical (“echem”) sensors for toxic gases and oxygen levels. These sensors use chemical reactions to sense the presence of gases such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and many others.
The sample pump used on the GDS-58DXP is capable of lifting liquid water to a height of 15 ft / 5m, and if the end of the sample line is placed in liquid water, the pump will draw water through the inlet filter, flame arrestors, sample pump, flow switch and flow meter and sensor flow cell, resulting in damage to the components.
GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.00 In addition to end-of-line filters & probes, the GDS-58DXP offers three choices for inlet filters that are directly integrated into the unit. These filters are mounted on the left side, in-between the flame arrestor and Run/Cal valve.
Using a GDS-58DXP with a #20-0141 Duct Sample Kit simplifies installation, maintenance and calibration and samples a larger cross-section of the duct stream.
GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.00 3 HARDWARE The GDS-58DXP consists of two NEMA 7 explosion-proof enclosures that contain the sample pump and flow switch (left side) and GASMAX DSX gas monitor, sensor, and flow cell (right side). Gas enters the left side enclosure via explosion proof flame arrestors, passes through the flow meter and into the sensor.
GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.0 4 INSTALLATION SELECTING A LOCATION As compared to a fixed-point gas detector, the GDS-58DXP sample draw system provides a good deal of flexibility when choosing a mounting location. Consider the following when considering where to install the GDS-58DXP: •...
To access signal and power connections, remove the cover on the wiring junction box mounted on the right side of the GDS-58DXP. Power, ground (common) and signal outputs are shown in figure 5-4 below. Connect power to TB1 pin 1 and ground to TB1 pin 6. Additional+24V (TB1 pin 2) and Common (TB1 pin 5) connections are available for local strobes or horns.
4000 feet without a repeater. For MODBUS data signals, GDS Corp recommends 20GA to 24GA shielded cable. Daisy-chain power distribution may require larger gauge wire since it is critical that the supply voltage for the GDS-58DXP at the far end of the string not fall below 22VDC during power-up.
OPTIONAL MODBUS WIRING JUNCTION BOX [MJBJ] If the GDS-58DXP is to be used in a MODBUS daisy chain configuration, GDS Corp recommends the addition of the MODBUS Wiring Junction Box (see Fig. 4-3). This option minimizes the need to access...
GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.00 5 CALIBRATION Calibration is critically important to ensure correct operation of the GDS-58DXP. The built-in CAL MODE function is designed to make calibration quick, easy and error free; a successful ZERO and SPAN calibration requires only four keystrokes.

GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE Before beginning calibration, make sure you have the following items: A cylinder of calibration gas, fixed flow regulator and a length of flexible tubing. A cylinder of ‘zero air’ may be necessary if the absence of target gas cannot be confirmed in the sample area.

GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.00 Wait for the ZERO CAL COMPLETE screen to ZERO CAL appear. The system will return to the Calibration 1. COMPLETE Menu. DONE, STOPPING Remove the cylinder or ZERO AIR and attach a cylinder of SPAN GAS to the Run/Cal valve.
UNDERSTANDING THE USER INTERFACE Once installed, apply power to the GDS-58DXP and verify that the LCD display is active. There are three magnetic switches on the face of the GDS-58DXP, arranged to the left, right and below the display. The left-side switch is “DOWN”...

PROGRAMMING ALARM LEVELS The GDS-58DXP has three alarm levels that activate each of the three alarm relays. Each alarm can be set to a different level and can be programmed to trigger when the input goes ABOVE the alarm value (HIGH) or BELOW the alarm value (LOW).

GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.0 With the cursor as shown, use the UP and DOWN keys to THRESHOLD [VALUE] set the alarm level. When complete, press ENTER. ACTIVE MODE HIGH/LOW PREVIOUS MENU Press the DOWN key to select ACTIVE MODE. Use the UP or THRESHOLD [VALUE] DOWN keys to select the alarm mode.

GDS-58DXP Operation & Maintenance Manual, Revision 1.00 PROGRAMMING RELAYS Each LOW, MID and HIGH alarm setting is logically connected to the LOW, MID and HIGH alarm relays. When operating in dual channel mode, the relay output is a LOGICAL OR from each of the two channels.

3) Install the sample inlet and exhaust tubing 4) Set the Run/Cal valve to the RUN position and apply power to the GDS-58DXP. Verify that the flow meter shows ~0.5 liters / minute or more. Allow the unit to warm up for the recommended time.
The flow switch is sealed and does not have any user-serviceable parts. In the event that water or other liquid enters the GDS-58DXP, the flow meter, flow switch and flame arrestors may need to be replaced or cleaned thoroughly. The flame arrestors can be cleaned and dried using compressed air or heat.
Sensor reading during span calibration too low – sensor may be defective. RECEIVING DEVICE (4-20mA) AND GDS-58DXP DISPLAYED VALUES DON’T MATCH • Check that zero and full-scale range values match between GDS-58DXP and receiving device (controller). • Check for high impedance shorts to ground on 4-20mA wiring.
