    Merlin Gas Detector Installation & Operation Instructions Installation Introduction Failure to observe the following may cause injury to persons and/or property. General Installation must be carried out by a licenced and insured contractor and installed in areas at risk of gas leaks e.g., near boilers, valves, or meters, located in positions determined by those who have knowledge of gas...
  • Page 5: Mounting Instructions

    After executing the mounting/connections – secure the front cover with all M4 bolts and insert security caps provided. Make a note of the installation date on the label located on the side of the unit. We recommend all Merlin safety and health monitoring equipment is commissioned by a competent/trained engineer to ensure correct installation and operation.
  • Page 6: Circuit Board Overview

    Merlin Gas Detector Installation & Operation Instructions Circuit Board Overview Be careful when creating access for cables – Damage to circuit boards will void any warranty. Any damage attempting to remove the circuit board parts may void any warranty. Detectors must be earthed/grounded for electrical safety and to limit the effects of EMC or R/F interference.
  • Page 7: Wiring To Gdpx+ Or Gdp2X Controller

    Merlin Gas Detector Installation & Operation Instructions Wiring to GDPX+ or GDP2X Controller The detector must be earthed/grounded for electrical safety and limit the effects of R/F & EMC interference. Where cable runs may exceed 100 yards from one control panel – Contact your supplier.
  • Page 8: Network Address Switches

    Merlin Gas Detector Installation & Operation Instructions Network Address Switches We recommend a plan, map and/or marking the detector enclosures detailing ID and location! ID Switches must be configured for each detector connected to receive and display accurate data! When wiring multiple detectors, it is important to identify each detector installed for the control panel to receive and display accurate data corresponding with the correct device.
  • Page 9: Wiring To Merlin 'S' Controllers

    Merlin Gas Detector Installation & Operation Instructions Wiring to Merlin ‘S’ Controllers Power is supplied to a detector via the GDP terminal [+ / -] and using the ‘S’ panel [GAS DETECTOR] terminal [+ / -]. For a BMS alarm relay use [COM] and [NC] on the detector and the [open/close] switch terminal on the panel.
  • Page 10: Commissioning

    Commissioning Overview Merlin sensors are designed to operate in a wide range of harsh environments and conditions. However, it is important that exposure to high concentrations of solvent vapours is avoided, both during storage and operation. We recommend all Merlin gas detection equipment be commissioned by competent/trained engineers to ensure correct installation and operation.
  • Page 11: Operation

    Merlin Gas Detector Installation & Operation Instructions Operation Initial Power Up - Start Up Sequence On connecting power, the detector enters ‘sensor stabilisation’ phase for approximately 60 seconds – during this period the screen will display an ‘initialisation’ message indicating that the device is not yet ready for gas detection.
  • Page 12: Care & Maintenance

    Care & Maintenance Overview Merlin sensors are designed to operate in a wide range of harsh environments and conditions. However, it is important that exposure to high concentrations of solvent vapours is avoided, both during storage and operation. Regular maintenance and calibration of the sensors by trained technicians is recommended. Inspections and services must be documented and executed at regular intervals.
  • Page 13: Typical Sensor Life Expectancy

    Merlin Gas Detector Installation & Operation Instructions Typical Sensor Life Expectancy The End-of-Life message is approximate from the first five (5) hours of continuous power! The End of Life will depend on the type of gas your detector is targeting and may vary depending on its application...
