MECHANICAL INSTALLATION. 2.1.1 GENERAL. The GD133 Sensor is designed to be installed with the junction box and Flame Arrestor Assembly with the Guard pointing downward. A typical installation for the GD133 Sensor is shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. Sensor Unit Installation and Orientation.
Liquid Teflon, to the gland threads and install the appropriate sealing washers. When the GD133 is used in conjunction with a calibration cup for checking operation the junction box must be mounted at least 10mm away from a vertical surface.
It is likely that the GD133 Sensor will remain stable at its initial calibration settings for long periods (typically 3 years) and on-site calibration is NOT required. Please refer to 4.1 (Routine Maintenance) for details of how to check the output from the sensor.
TQ Environmental Ltd 3.3 OUTPUT CURRENT FAULT CONDITIONS. The GD133 provides differing current output levels between 0mA and 4mA to indicate various sensor fault conditions. Indicated Current Description Output 0.5mA Warm up after application of power to the unit until the GD133 has completed its self-testing.
In this case, any small adjustment of the output can be corrected on the control system receiving the signal from the GD133. Please refer to the documentation associated with the control system for details on how to carry out any adjustment which is necessary.
