ASSEMBLING
Positioning of the sensor
The KRM-X must be positioned in accordance with the applicable local regulations on ventilation
systems. Reliable smoke detection must be ensured. The air collecting tube may be cut to a length of
160 mm, depending on the cross-section of the ventilation duct. It must not be cut to less than this
minimum length of 160 mm. Using the KS-X mounting bracket, this makes it possible to monitor ducts up
to <100 mm ø. There is no maximum width, height or diameter for air ventilation ducts monitored with the
600 mm long standard air collecting tube under the VdS approval/DIBt certification. The indicated airflow
direction must be observed when installing the tube adapter. The air collecting tube may be mounted
laterally, below or above the air duct – the location makes no difference.
In the ideal case, as far as is structurally possible, install the KRM-X in a location where flow meters etc.
are normally installed, so that there is a laminar airflow along the measuring tube. We recommend
mounting and installing the KRM-X at the same distance from heating, cooling and humidity devices and
in a similar way as flow sensors. The distance of the KRM-X to fittings, valves, filters, etc. should be 3
times the diagonal of the channel cross-section against the flow direction and 5 times with the flow
direction, if this is structurally possible. The KRM-X, including the air collecting tube, may not be installed
along the longitudinal edges of ventilation ducts (corner area). The KRM-X must be installed such that
the air collecting tube is constantly located in the air stream. In horizontal ventilation ducts the KRM-X,
including the air collecting tube, should be installed in the upper third of the ventilation duct or at the top
of the ventilation duct, if this is structurally possible.
