Mounting the detector
The detector must be mounted vertically as the sensor pointing forward. Detector has to be
mounted such that the sensor's gas entrance area. The install location
• should be isolated from vibration, direct sun light and have temperature stability
• avoided external influences such as splashing water, oil, corrosive aerosols
• should have at least 30 cm free space beneath the sensor head to provide accessibility for
calibration work.
• should be in air flow between possible leak or collection point and possible source of ignition.
Prosense do not recommend installing detectors to:
• directly above a cooking unit,
• directly above a sink unit,
• close to an extractor unit,
• outdoor without protection against the rain,
• in places where temperature is outside the admissible operating range,
• corrosive environments,
• inside air vents.
• environments where silicon can be found.
Prosense SAFEVADER series detector has two mounting holes on detector body to fix detector
directly to a surface:
