    At the end of their working life, electrochemical sensors for oxygen and carbon monoxide detectors should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. Alternatively they can be securely packaged and returned to OGS clearly marked for disposal. Electrochemical sensors should not be incinerated as this may cause the cell to emit toxic fumes.

    Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Merlin Detector-X Installation Typical Location & Positioning Our detectors should be installed in safe areas only at risk of gas leaks e.g. over boilers, valves or meters. Take in to account the design of the air flow patterns within the zone area. Detectors should be installed in the correct orientation, as recommended, and ease of access should be accounted for to allow for any servicing, recalibration and other forms of maintenance.

    Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Merlin Detector-X Wiring a Detector (GDP2X or GDPX+ Control Panel) 24vdc power supply from the control panel and communication cables are wired to control panels (GDP2X or GDPX+). Both control panel and detector terminals are marked as [DETECTOR CHAIN + - D+ D-]. [SHEILD WIRE] detector terminals should be used for earthing/grounding and shield wires connected to any Earth/Ground terminal on the control panel.

    Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual Merlin Detector-X Split Detector Chain from Control Panel example. Reversing the [D+] and [D-] connections of any device can lead to the whole system to stop working owing to reverse polarity found on the terminals. In order to avoid this problem, it is recommended that the cable of same colour should be used to connect all [D+] terminals together and similarly cable of same colour to be used to connect all [D-] terminals together.
