To ensure reliable operation, please read this instruction manual prior to use. The difference between PE-2CC and PE-2DC is the power source for the pump. The PE-2CC requires 100 VAC, while the PE-2DC requires 24 VDC for the pump’s power source.
2. General Precautions Carefully read this manual prior to use. Follow the precautions below to ensure safe operation. Only wire/install/use this product in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Only a qualified electrician with knowledge of wiring and installation procedures should perform wiring and installation.

6. Wiring Please refer to the indicator unit’s instruction manual along with this manual. 6-1. Wiring Connection Perform explosion-proof enclosure wiring when installing the gas detector in a hazardous area. (1) Wiring up to this product (here explained in case of using rigid steel conduits method) CAUTION ...
Page 11
Use parallel pipe threads (JIS B 0202) for connections between conduits, fittings, and joint boxes. This gas detector comes with PF3/4 female threads (G3/4). Engage at least five threads per connection, and then firmly tighten with a lock nut. Figure 7. Typical Layout (2) Wiring connection to this product There are two wiring connection methods, rigid steel conduit method and pressure-resistant gasket type cable gland method.
Page 12
Use cable whose outer diameter matches the inner diameter of the gasket by referring to the table below. Fully tighten the cable gland, to prevent the formation of a flame path for explosive gas or fire. Cable outer dia. Gasket inner dia.
Connect so that the PA and PB terminals should be respectively positive and negative. The required power supply for the pump is different between PE-2CC and PE-2DC. 100VAC is required by PE-2CC and 24VDC by PE-2DC. Wire the correct source.

7. Before Use CAUTION Before turning on the unit, check that all the components are connected correctly. The markings on the indicator unit and gas detector must match. 7-1. Precautions during Use DANGER Do not place your face closer to the exhaust port of the gas detector. Deoxygenated air or gas harmful to humans may be inhaled.
8. Maintenance Routine checks are carried out by the user, while annual inspections are performed by New Cosmos or its authorized representative. 8-1. Routine Check (1) Visual check (min. one per month) Check the gas detector for corrosion. Check the mounting brackets, screws, fittings, piping, etc. for corrosion. Visually check and replace any worn or damaged parts.
8-2. Annual Inspection (min. one per year) Important Notice for Annual Inspection In order to ensure the reliability of the gas detection and alarm system, it is vital to perform periodic maintenance and inspections. Further, it is necessary to perform inspections and calibrations by using actual gas (combustible or poisonous gas).

(B) When a commercially prepared gas cylinder is not available, Use a gas calibration kit (not included) and a pure gas cylinder (isobutane at 99vol% or more). Dilute pure isobutane with air to produce 0.9vol% (50%LEL) calibration gas. DANGER Ensure that there is no open flame or source of ignition when handling a flammable gas with the concentration exceeding the LEL.
Color combination defers depending on the sensor type. Tighten the terminal screws (M3x8) to secure the lead wires. (7) Install the top cover in the electronics case and tighten the four hex screws (M10). Return used gas sensors to New Cosmos Electric.

(1) Remove the two hex screws (M5x15 and M6x15) with spring washers from the unit with the hex wrenches (M5 and M6). (2) Slowly remove the manifold plate. Remove the three ring gaskets (P5, P6 and TPG-6). (3) Clean the manifold plate and gas detector’s surface with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.

(2) Failures and damages caused by disaster, earthquake, storm and flood, lightning, extreme climate, abnormal power supply voltage, excessive electromagnetic interferences, or other acts of God. (3) Failures and damages resulting from repair and/or modification by non-New Cosmos certified technicians. (4) Consumables and failures and damages resulting from improper consumable replacement.
Sensor element Figure 18. Hot Wire Semiconductor Sensor 11-3. Thermal Conductivity Sensor A thermal conductivity sensor is based on the principle that some gases have a different thermal conductivity from air. When a gas comes in contact with a heated platinum coil coated with an inert substance (sensor element), the gas will conduct the heat from the coil more or less efficiently than air.
12. Glossary Term Definition Flow meter Equipment for measuring the flow rate in the piping. Collecting cone Use for increased gas collection efficiency, and as a water deflection at the sampling port. Connected to the end of the sampling pipe/tube. Dust and water proof. Flameproof enclosure Enclosure in which the parts which can ignite an explosive (explosion-proof enclosure)
