DUAL SENSOR GAS ALARM
A dual sensor unit supporting separate analogue 4~20mA and millivolt signal inputs,
sensor operation is continuous with alternating displayed gas readings at five second
intervals. Function selection and adjustment is accessible via the front membrane panel
or laptop connection to J11 USB port.
Installation
CONTROL UNIT: The control unit should be mounted in a position which is accessible and in the field of vision. Mains should be from a fused supply.
SENSORS: The positioning of sensors depends upon the type of gas to be monitored and its density with respect to air. See G973
Heavy Gases (Propane, Butane) – locate at 15 to 20 cm from floor level.
Lighter Gases (Methane, Natural Gas, Ammonia, Hydrogen) – locate at 5 to 10cm from the ceiling.
Carbon Monoxide Locate at 1.5 metres above floor level.
All equipment should be mounted away from direct heat and in accordance with its IP rating.

On power up the unit will be inhibited for a 120 second warm up period displayed as a countdown on the display (this may be overidden by
pressing 1), a two sensor unit display readout will alternate at 5 second intervals, each reading may be held or released by pressing 1. To access the
main menu press 2 followed by the entry code 231, pressing 1 or 3 will allow travel through the menu and adjustment of settings, pressing 2 enables
access into the selected menu field and on completion pressing 2 will confirm your selection.

The 102 may have been supplied without configured sensors (no
sensors enabled), in this case the following adjustments should be
carried out.
Channel 1 mV signal sensor (main menu 2)
Sensor supply may be measured between the two sensor voltage
test pins SV and TP10, adjust as required using the sensor supply
adjustment potentiometer SV, see sensor cell supply table.
The initial sensor zero adjustment is achieved by turning the zero
potentiometer RV4 until D9 zero LED just turns green. Test gas
should be applied to the sensor and a coarse adjustment made
using the gain calibration potentiometer RV3.
Channel 2 4~20mA signal sensor (main menu 3)
See sensor transmitters Tox/O2C1882 Flam C1883
Ensure the sensor is in clean air, measure across test pins TP1/TP2
for a reading of 4mV = 4mA.
From this point on all further /future fine adjustments and settings
may be made through the menus.
