Combustible gases
E2638R-LEL detector-transmitter is sensitive to light hydrocarbon gases (acetylene,
methane, propane, butane) and hydrogen.
See Annex 2 for more detailed information concerning the prorerties of the detected
gases.
NOTE Transmitter with catalytic type sensor is nit available for acetylene detection.
Installation guidelines
(See Installation and connections section for general information.)
For gases lighter than air install the sensor higher than potential leakage/generation
source or near the ceiling. Combustible gases lighter than air are hydrogen (0,07 of air
density), methane (0,55 of air density) and acetylene (0.90 of air density).
Propane and butane are heavier than air (1.55 and 2.0 of air density respectively) and
tend to sink. It is recommended to place the sensor lower than potential leakage or
generation sourse.
Calibration
E2638R-LEL devices have been calibrated by Manufacturer with standard gas
mixtures before delivery. Provided that the sensor is used under moderate
conditions, the recommended recalibration interval for metal oxide sensor is 12
months. Catalytic sensors are more sensitive to the environment and require field
recalibration every 3...6 months. Please contact your dealer for more information.
Maintenance
Do not perform any maintenance operation with the power on.
Clean the device with soft damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents. Do
not immerse the device into water or any cleaning media.
