Merlin GM100 Introduction General Description This equipment has been designed to meet the requirements of high specification requirements of customised solutions. Available with single and dual gas detection capability, designed for all areas being directly connected to low voltage supply. The equipment is to be installed in non-classified, non-hazardous, permanent locations and is intended to continuously monitor the ambient air for dangerous gas/air concentrations.

Merlin GM100 Avoid environmental conditions outside of this specification that could potentially impede the accuracy and operation of the equipment such as condensation; vibration; temperature, pressure, the presence of other gases, electromagnetic interference, and draft zones. The audible alarm will only sound if the buzzer switch is turned on. Following over or under range indications, recalibrate the sensor to ensure continued accuracy.
Merlin GM100 Coverage 50ft radius per detector is a reasonable guide (15.2 metres), therefore multiple detectors may be required to adequately protect property and persons. However, coverage should be determined by those who have knowledge of gas dispersion, target gas characteristics, the environment, process plant system(s) and intended functions etc., and in consultation with both safety and electrical engineering personnel.
Merlin GM100 Mounting Instructions Position at a location with minimum noise, vibration, and environmental variation. Damage when creating entry points or attempting to remove the circuit board may void any warranty. Avoid environmental conditions outside of this specification that could potentially impede the accuracy and operation of the equipment such as condensation;...
Merlin GM100 Power & Digital RS485 Wiring Warranty may be void if damage occurs to the circuit board from use of solid core wire attached directly to terminals. The equipment requires a continual supply of electrical power – it will not work without power. The equipment is powered by low voltage 12-24V DC or AC.
Merlin GM100 To avoid water entering the rear of the monitor the sealing gasket should be adhered to the rear of the monitor using the self-adhesive tape, positioning squarely to the rear of the enclosure and firmly press into position. Fixing screws can we screwed through the gasket to secure the monitor to a wall. Apply the Solid Neoprene adhesive foam sheet to seal the rear fixing holes It is recommended to carry out regular maintenance, the side gas vent holes should be brush-cleaned to avoid them being clogged, the frequency will depend on the environmental conditions.

Merlin GM100 Commissioning Overview We recommend all gas detection equipment be commissioned by competent/trained engineers. Gas detectors are factory calibrated when shipped under ambient conditions, however, we recommend the detectors response and alarm signals are tested and validated once installed and subsequently every 6-18 months thereafter to retain optimum safety.
Merlin GM100 Maintenance Service Reminder The service message is factory set as OFF and can be set up from the configuration menu. The service message acts as a reminder to carry out a periodic check of the sensor. Once a service message has been set and the period has been reached, an indication (S) will be displayed on the screen.

Merlin GM100 Calibration Procedure To enter calibration, enter configuration menu, use the < > buttons to access [Calibration] and press [OK]. Use the < and > buttons to select the module to be Press OK to confirm the gas type. calibrated S1 or S2 and press OK.
Merlin GM100 Calibration failed [NOK] NOK displayed in yellow indicates the calibration has failed and results haven’t been saved, the calibration should be repeated following the parameters as specified at the start of the procedure. Now press OK and then < to select BACK, wait 10 sec for a time out to return to normal operation or Press OK to return to the Menu.
Merlin GM100 Bump Test Procedure Take normal precautions when using cylinders, they should always be stored in the vertical position and secured to prevent them from falling over. Ensure valve/regulators are screwed and secured tight before use and ensure valves are closed after use. Ensure all test gas is within the expiration date.
Merlin GM100 Additional Information Sensor Principle - Electrochemical Electrochemical sensors measure the partial pressure of gases under atmospheric conditions. The monitored ambient air diffuses through a membrane into the liquid electrolyte in the sensor. The electrolyte contains a measuring electrode, a counter-electrode, and a reference electrode. An electronic “potentiated” circuit ensures a constant electrical voltage between measuring electrode and reference electrode.
