Preliminary information The SmArtGas 4 gas detector is a device designed as a components of the Gas Safety System dedicated for operation in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres and under heavy-duty industrial conditions with broad range of ambient parameters variations (high temperatures, corrosive gases, moisture and dust). The key feature of the device, indispensable to guarantee safe and unproblematic operation is its conformity to requirements of the ATEX EU Directive and IECEx standards.
www.atestgaz.pl Basic functionalities Non-invasive calibration and configuration – the gas detector can be calibrated and parametrized (e.g. the alarm thresholds) in hazardous areas without opening the housing or turning off other parts of the gas safety system (only for RS-485). Ability to calibrate gas detectors mounted at inaccessible locations.
www.atestgaz.pl Cable glands and blanking plugs The cable gland and blanking plug are replaceable elements. To select spare ones please obey the following rules: ATEX and IECEx certificates, degree of explosion protection (Ex code) – no worse than the detector (see Table 11), operating temperature range (see Table 11), appropriate mounting thread –...
www.atestgaz.pl Mode Description Lock Gas concentration is above the overload value (the default value is 100% LEL). The detector is locked (see Appendix [3]) – the last value of the concentration is shut. The detector does not make measurements. It is possible to unlock the condition by means of sending the applicable command from the control unit or from the superior system.
www.atestgaz.pl The calibration procedure is described in Section 6.6.2.2. In addition, the calibration procedure for gas detectors furnished with the FL.C head must be carried out with consideration of the following constraints: flow rate of a reference gas must be not less than 0.5 ltr./min, wind velocity nearby the detector must not exceed 0.5 m/s.
www.atestgaz.pl Despite the power supply voltage for the Gas Safety System is off, dangerous voltage may persist across terminals of the control unit. Such a voltage may come from another system controlled by the same unit, for instance ventilation, that use one output pin of the control unit.

User interface A detailed description of the user interface is provided in the Attachment [5]. Life cycle Transportation The device can be shipped in the same way as new equipment of that type.
www.atestgaz.pl 6.2.3 Electric network The applied flameproof cable glands allows to introduce cables with diameters of a specific range. The suggested cable types are included in the Guide – "Sigma Gas Safety System" (POD-070-ENG). When performing electrical connections, it is necessary to observe the following order: make sure that the connected cables are disconnected from any electrical circuits and potentials, make sure that during installation there is no risk of explosion or fire, unlock the detector cover by loosening the cover locking screw which is located on the periphery,...
www.atestgaz.pl The cable shield shall be isolated and slightly protrude from the cable entry inside the detector. The shield cannot be connected to any device point. A detailed description of the preparation of the cable and connecting the cable to the detector is provided in Appendix [6].
www.atestgaz.pl The detector behaviour after power on is described in Table 3. If a test of the gas detection system is required, supply test gas to the gas detector and make sure that the detector behaviour is in line with the specification. It is recommended that –...

www.atestgaz.pl During calibration the following is determined: the degree of characteristics drift, the degree of sinter contamination (measuring the response time T90), the degree of sensor wear, The calibration also includes checks of the following explosion proof properties: tightness of cables in cable glands, retighten glands when necessary, symptoms of a flameproof housing damage.

Gas detectors SmArtGas 4 are designed for operation in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres. Thus, its explosion-proof properties must be verified and maintained on regular basis in the following way: checking and cleaning inserts made of sintered material (dry cleaning with a brush or a cloth), checking of the cable gland with verification of its sound installation and lack of damage.
