Hydrogen Sulfide
Colorless toxic, corrosive and flammable gas with a smell of rotten eggs. Occurs in natural
gas, volcanic gases, petroleum, and some sources of well water. It results from the
anaerobic decay of sulfur-containing proteins, e.g. in sewers.
Synonyms: Hydrosulfuric acid, Sewer gas, Sulfuretted hydrogen.

Odor
The characteristic smell of rotten eggs. Above 30 ppm, the odor is
described as sweet or sickeningly sweet.
Odor threshold
0.01-1.5 ppm
Note: Sense of smell becomes rapidly fatigued and can NOT be
relied upon to warn of the continuous presence of H2S.
Hazards
Highly flammable, explosive gas.
Broad-spectrum poison, mostly affecting the nervous system. At
low concentrations causes eye irritation, a sore throat and cough,
nausea, shortness of breath, and pulmonary edema. Long-term,
low-level exposure results in fatigue, loss of appetite, headache,
poor memory, irritability, and dizziness. Exposure to high levels
can induce immediate collapse, with loss of breathing and a high
probability of death.

Product description
E2608 series detectors-transmitters belong to the PluraSens® family of multifunctional
measurement instruments. The instruments utilize gas sensors of various types with
excellent repeatability, stability, and long lifetime.
E2608 series provides two independent analog outputs OUT1 and OUT2, user-selectable to
4-20 mA or 0-10 V. RS485 Modbus RTU digital communication interface allows easy
instrument configuration and integration into various automation systems.
Two relays RE1 and RE2 with closing dry contacts can be used to switch alarm sirens,
ventilation fans, shut-off valves, or other actuators. Remote probe, duct mount version and
24 VAC or 230 VAC power supply options are available.
The version of your detector-transmitter is marked on the package. If the symbol ⚠ is
marked on the equipment, consult the documentation for further information.
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 electrical 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 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.

Installation guidelines
Before proceeding with the installation it is mandatory to read the Safety requirements
section and make sure to comply with all listed instructions. Installation standards EN
60079-29-2 and EN 45544-4 are also recommended for further instructions and related
information about the installation. During the installation of the detector-transmitter the
following points must be considered:
●Application (air quality control or leakage detection)
●Properties of the space under investigation (room geometry, direction, and
velocity of airflows, etc.),
●Hydrogen sulfide is slightly heavier than air and spreads evenly in the room. The
recommended location is close to the potential leakage source.
●The device should be accessible for maintenance and repair.
The aforementioned conditions above will affect the coverage area of the device. however,
the coverage area for a detector-transmitter is usually between 2.5 to 5 meters radius.
For early leakage detection install the sensor as close as possible to the potential leakage
sources (flanges, valves, pressure reducers, pumps, etc.), taking into consideration other
points listed above.
For general area monitoring without definite leakage sources, the detector-transmitters
should be distributed evenly in the room.
For personal safety control, the detector-transmitters are installed in the breathing zone (at
the height of the head of people or animals). The recommended sensor position is vertical,
pointing downwards.
Wall mount version
Attach the mounting lugs to the back of the detector-transmitter using the provided
screws. Screw the device to the wall through the mounting lug holes (for dimensions see
the drawing in the next section).
Duct mount version
Cut a hole with a diameter of 36...45 mm in the air duct at the chosen mounting place.
Place the rubber flange aligning the holes in the flange and the air-duct and fix the flange
with four self-tapping screws. Pass the sensor probe through the flange and adjust it to the
appropriate depth. Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the
detector-transmitter.

Sensor probe handling
The wall-mount version of the detector-transmitter is available with a remote probe (see
drawing below for dimensions). The remote probe is connected to the main unit with a
shielded cable. The default connection cable length is 3 m.
A) Wall mount remote probe with fixing clamp (default version),
B) Remote probe with rubber flange and three self-tapping screws (on request)
The sensor probes of all types are equipped with a hydrophobic microporous PTFE filter to
protect the sensor from dust, dirt, and water drops. The filter should be replaced if it gets
strongly contaminated. To replace the PTFE filter, unscrew the sensor head cap and
remove the old filter. Place a new filter into the nut and tighten it again.
NOTE! Never stab or press the filter near its center where the sensor is located since this
may damage the sensor. Do not remove the filter as it may cause the device to show
incorrect values and/or break the sensor.
The recommended orientation of the sensor probe is vertical with the sensor tip pointing
downwards. This prevents the possible accumulation of condensed water on the sensor
protection filter.
Gas sensor replacement procedures
1. Remove the sensor head cap from the device (or the remote probe),
2. Remove the PTFE filter (if it is not removed within the cap),
3. Remove the O-ring rubber,
4. Detach the electrochemical sensor from the device,
5. Insert the new electrochemical sensor inside,
6. Put back the O-ring rubber, PTFE filter, and the head cap, respectively.

Electrical connections
Unscrew four lid screws and detach the lid from the device. Use the M16 cable gland to let
in cables of the power supply and of the external devices. Attach the power cable to the
device without turning it on. Using the connection diagram below, connect the analog
outputs and digital interface terminals to the relevant devices according to your tasks.
