Product description
E2610 series gas detectors are compact and easy-to-use instruments. The devices utilize
novel fully calibrated and temperature compensated gas sensors with excellent
repeatability, stability, and long lifetime.
Two relays with switch-over contact may be used for remote signaling or ventilation
control. Flashing LED and an internal buzzer give alarms at two setpoints.
Safety requirements
Misuse will impair the protection of the product. Always adhere to the safety provisions
applicable in the country of use.
Do not perform any maintenance operation with the power on. Do not let water or foreign
objects inside the device.
Removal of the PCB from the enclosure voids the warranty. Do not touch the electronic
components directly, as they are sensitive to static electricity.
Connection diagrams can be found in the connections section. The device might not
perform correctly or be damaged if the wrong power supply is connected.
External circuits connected to the equipment should have sufficient insulation rating
according to the environmental conditions and equipment power.
A disconnecting device that is marked as such and easily accessible should be included in
the installation of this product.
Operating conditions
The device should be used both in a non-hazardous indoor area and in a basic
electromagnetic environment, where the latter is defined in EN 61326-1. Avoid strong
mechanical shock and vibrations. Avoid corrosive atmosphere and areas highly
contaminated with dust, oil mist, etc. Keep the instrument away from direct sunlight. A
sudden temperature or humidity change might affect the sensitivity of the sensor.
