Secure the gas detector to the mounting location (e.g., furnace’s wall) by using the flange. The flange specifications are given below. The sensor unit’s outside diameter is HEX32. The mounting hole which the sensor unit and probe fit through should be 36 mm in dia. or more. For fine adjustment of the direction of the detector face, untighten the two hexagonal screws to adjust the face to the right position, and then retighten the screws to firmly secure the detector.
Page 15
The case cover of the detector needs be able to open during installation, wiring, or sensor replacement. Make sure to keep sufficient space so that the cover can be opened to 90° or more. (Dimensions are in mm)
Wiring 6.1. Guideline Use explosion-proof wiring when installing the detector in a hazardous area. WARNING Before opening any part of the gas detector, ensure no explosive atmosphere is present. The cable gland (not included) shall be ATEX/UKEx/IECEx-certified as “Flameproof Enclosure ‘db’”, and shall meet the special conditions of use on page 2.
6.2. Wiring/Connection WARNING Before opening the case cover of the gas detector, be sure to eliminate possible source of ignition. Disconnect the power supply to the detector and all devices connected to it (e.g., indicator unit and signal converter). ...

Terminal Block Wiring Procedure CAUTION Do not touch or let any tool (e.g., flat-head screwdriver, wrench) touch the inside surface of the case or case cover. Keep joint surfaces clean and free from any damage. Contaminates such as scratches, fingerprints, dirt and oil may adversely affect the explosion-proof characteristics of the device.
(5) Insert the tip of each wire into the slot. Connect the (PWR+) wire to the slot marked “ 24V(+)” . Connect the (PWR-) wire to the slot marked “GND ” . Connect the (Analog 4-20mA) wire to the slot marked “Signal ” . As needed, connect the external relay contact wires to the slots marked “ZA ”...
Display at Power-up (Warm-up) CAUTION Check that there is no gas present before powering on the gas detector. When the sensor output is not stable, the external relay contact may possibly activate. To prevent possible activation of the external relay contact after the warm-up is complete, release the interlocks of the external devices, if needed.

DANGER Ensure that there is no open flame or source of ignition when handling a flammable gas. (4) Check the gas concentration value of he prepared gas. a. Check that the reagent inside the gasbag completely evaporates. b. Use a portable gas detector to measure the concentration value from the outlet of the gasbag.
11.3. Calibration CAUTION For calibration with actual gas, the detector needs to be removed from the external equipment (e.g., drying furnace). For calibration, use the dedicated calibration cap (sold separately). After use in connection with a high-temperature furnace, the probe and its surrounding area become very hot.
Zero Adjustment CAUTION To prevent possible activation of the external relay contact during the zero adjustment, set the detector to maintenance mode or release the interlocks of the external devices, if needed. Perform a zero adjustment in a place where there is no target or interfering gas in the ambient atmosphere.
Fine Span Adjustment CAUTION To prevent possible activation of the external relay contact during the fine span adjustment, set the detector to maintenance mode or release the interlocks of the external devices, if needed. Only New Cosmos technician or personnel who have completed a maintenance seminar can perform a span adjustment.
Coarse Span Adjustment Perform coarse span adjustment, if is displayed. CAUTION To prevent possible activation of the external relay contact during the coarse span adjustment, set the detector to maintenance mode or release the interlocks of the external devices, if needed. ...
Full-scale and Alarm Set Values Display NOTE Use the magnetic stick for the switch operation. Carefully handle the magnetic stick during operation or setting, because it has a strong attractive force. Refer to 3 “Package Contents” for full information. ...
Test Mode Test mode is used to set the test value. CAUTION To prevent possible activation of the external relay contact during the test mode, set the detector to maintenance mode or release the interlocks of the external devices, if needed.
11.4. Sensor Unit Replacement WARNING Disconnect the power supply to the gas detector before replacing the sensor unit. Failure to do so may cause a source of ignition. CAUTION Only New Cosmos technician or personnel who have completed a maintenance seminar can replace the sensor unit.

Warranty The warranty period is one (1) year from the date of purchase. You are entitled to the limited warranty, if the product malfunctions due to a manufacturing defect during normal use in accordance with the instruction manual, specifications and labels. 1.
Detection Principles Catalytic Sensor Catalytic combustion occurs on the catalytic layer applied on a platinum coil even if the gas concentration is well below the lower combustion limit. This causes a rise in temperature of the platinum coil and increases its electrical resistance. This change is read as a differential voltage using a bridge circuit.
