The MSA Gas Detector Series 47K is designed to continuously monitor the atmosphere for the presence of potentially explosive gas or vapour in air in the range 0 to 100% LEL. It is designed for use as an integral part of an MSA fixed gas detection system for the protection of industrial plant and workers.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death. The only method of verifying the correct operation of the sensor is to carry out a span check using a known concentration of calibration gas in air. For response curves contact your national MSA office. Series 47K...
The MSA Gas Detector Series 47K is designed to continuously monitor the atmosphere for the presence of potentially explosive gas or vapour in air in the range 0 to 100% LEL. It is designed for use as an integral part of an MSA fixed gas detection system for the protection of industrial plant and workers.

2 Description *) Extended range: The sensor extended temperature range is greater than the maximum specified in EN 60079-29-1. It is therefore strongly recommended that if used above +55 °C or below -25 °C the sensor is calibrated at the operating temperature.
• The specified environmental conditions must be adhered to. • Position the height of the MSA Gas detector Series 47K according to the density of gas or vapour to be measured. • The proper installation location must be chosen to ensure that the sintered disc of the MSA Gas detector Series 47K is kept dry and dust-free.
The maximum cable length depends on the maximum permissible load, the cross section of the conductor and the conductor material. The maximum permissible load [loop resistance] is 36 ohms for the MSA Control units SUPREMA [for MSA Control unit 9010/9020 refer to the control unit manual].
[Classified areas] • Refer to the MSA controller instruction manual for the sensor connection details. • Where an earth connection to the junction box/ sensor is required use the earth terminal provided on the outside of the junction box.
Failure to follow this caution can result in minor or moderate injury. Allow a warm-up time of at least 30 minutes before calibrating the gas sensor. Perform an initial calibration following the instructions in Section 5.1 Calibration and the manual for the relevant MSA controller. Series 47K...
5 Maintenance and Service Maintenance and Service There are no serviceable or adjustable parts within the sensor assembly and any attempt to dismantle the assembly or access it will invalidate the sensor approvals and manufacturers guarantee. Maintenance and service may only be performed by authorised and suitably qualified personnel. CAUTION! To guarantee the nonambiguity of the series 47K catalytic sensor operation ensure [e.g.
5 Maintenance and Service Gas flow rate : 1.0 l/min Stabilization time : depending on gas type between 2 and 4 min CAUTION! Use span gas with a concentration of approximately 50% of the measuring range. In no case should the span gas concentration be less than 25% of the full scale value of the measuring range.
5 Maintenance and Service new sensors and may vary after aging or poisoning.Unless otherwise stated, they refer to an ambient temperature of 20 °C. If using a reference gas to calibrate the gas detector the displayed values may vary by up to ±20% from the target gas concentration.
