Installation
Oxygen excess
Since oxygen weighs more or less the same as air, unless there is forced or natural air
circulation, it tends to spread at the point of the leak.
So, the excess oxygen detectors must be installed near any likely leakage points, in
order to detect the excess oxygen as quickly as possible.
Oxygen deficiency
Detection of oxygen deficiency has the purpose of indirectly detecting the presence of
other gases that deplete the oxygen in the air, therefore causing asphyxiation problems,
for example.
In this case, the detectors must be located at the breathing height of the occupants in
the premises.
Take into consideration the following specific installation guidelines, as well as the
above instructions, for location of the detectors.
The detectors must be installed:
1. where accidental gas leakages are possible
2. at least 1.5m away from heat sources or from vent holes
3. not in spaces where ventilation is poor and where gas pockets may form
4. away from hindrances to natural gas flow
5. away from equipment that may leak gas during normal operations
6. in environments with a temperature range of -20°C to 50°C and relative humidity
below 90% (non-condensing)
7.
Disconnect equipment from the power supply when mounting and dismantling
detectors.

Cabling:
CAUTION: Make the area safe and ensure that the device power supply is off
before cabling and configuration operations.
Install the sensor in compliance with laws in force.
The cable gland provided on the housing is used for cable entry.
Ground the sensor using the internal grounding system.
Refer to the Control Unit manual for all cabling information (cable type and
specifications, bus topology, length of connections etc.) and configuration.
Depending on the connecting distance, use at least 4-core cable, min. diameter
