The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-
Conditioning Engineers, Inc Standard ANSI/ASHRAE 15-
2004 Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration states:
8.11.2 Each machinery room shall contain a detector,
located in an area where refrigerant from a leak will
concentrate, which shall activate an alarm and mechan-
ical ventilation ....
The International Conference of Building Official Uniform
Mechanical Code, 2000 states:
SECTION 1121 - DETECTION AND ALARM
SYSTEM
1121.1 General. Alarm shall be activated whenever the
refrigerant vapor Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)
is exceeded. In other than machinery rooms, such
systems shall also automatically stop the flow of
refrigerant to evaporators within the space and stop
the flow of refrigerant in all supply lines leaving the
machinery room whenever the refrigerant vapor con-
centration is detected at or above 50 percent of the
IDLH [Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health] or 25
percent of the LEL (lower explosive limit).
The SHERLOCK 102, and 202 Refrigerant Gas Monitor was
designed to meet these and other requirements.
Monitoring Panel
The SHERLOCK 102 and 202 Control Module is an ETL
listed, hard wired, permanently mounted electronic control
panel that is capable of monitoring the analog output signal
of up to two SHERLOCK Refrigerant Gas Sensors or one
SHERLOCK Refrigerant Gas Sensors and one SHERLOCK
Oxygen Depletion Sensors. The Control Module will activate
four Form C SPDT relay contacts based upon the programmed
alarm setpoints of each sensor. The relays are referred to as K1,
K2 for the first alarm level and K3, K4 for the second alarm
level. There is optional zone isolation alarm relay (K5 & K6)
for each Sensor. The Control Module can be located in the area
to be monitored, or in a separate location, typically outside of
the monitored room.
Monitoring Points
Each monitoring point consists of an analog signal generat-
ing sensor connected to the control module via discrete, three
conductor cable. Each sensor can be mounted up to 1000 feet
(longer run with special cable) away in locations where leaked
refrigerant is likely to concentrate.
THE SHERLOCK REFRIGERANT GAS MONITOR
The Sherlock gas sensors are available in three varieties:
Ceramic Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) or Solid
State Sensor
Non-Dispersive, Pyro-Electric Infrared Sensor.
Ammonia & Oxygen Depletion Electro-chemical Sensor.
CMOS or Solid State Sensor
The SHERLOCK CMOS (Solid State) Sensor utilizes a Tin
-Oxide filiment, heated to 400°F, to detect the presence of
oxygen molecules within the air. At this temperature, Oxygen
molecules cling to the filament. When a molecule of an organic
compound or a halogen strikes the filament, it displaces an oxy-
gen molecule thus increasing the resistive value of the filament.
This change in resistance is processed by the sensor circuitry
to produce an analog output signal, which sent to the Control
Module as the sensor reading.
Sensors are available in configurations that detect refrigerant
gases by class; CFC/HCFC, HFC and Ammonia. These sensors
produce a non-linear output signal that generally corresponds to
the concentration of refrigerant in the air.
NOTE: These sensors, due to their nature, are susceptible
to detection of non-refrigerant gases and cannot distinguish
the presence of different refrigerant gases, only that there is
a gas present. The CMOS sensor will detect high concen-
trations of gasoline, diesel, and propane exhaust and fumes
from solvents, paints, cleansers, and others (Please call
Genesis Customer Support for more information).
Infrared Sensor
The SHERLOCK Non-Dispersive, Pyro-Electric Infrared Sensor
utilizes a detection chamber with an infrared light emmiter and
an infrared Pyro-Electric photo sensor with a filtering lens. The
IR sensor will detect the presence of a certain gas by measur-
ing the change in the intensity of light measured by the photo
sensor. Each sensor is designed to detect only infrared light of
a specific wavelength corresponding to the refrigerant gas to
be monitored. This change in light intensity is processed by the
sensor circuitry to produce an analog output signal, which sent
to the Control Module as the sensor reading.
Sensors are available in specific configurations that detect cer-
tain refrigerant gases. Check with Genesis International for a
current list a available gas sensors.
These sensors produce a linear output signal that corresponds to
the concentration of refrigerant in the air. The Control Module
will translate the analog signal and display the readings in Parts
per Million values.
Electro-Chemical Ammonia Sensor
The SHERLOCK Electro-Chemical Ammonia Sensor utilizes
a chemical cell to determine the concentration of Ammonia in
the air. The chemical cell produces small chemical reaction
with Ammonia molecules, thus producing a voltage drop across
the cell. When the concentration of Ammonia goes up, the
voltage drop across the cell changes. This change in voltage is

processed by the sensor circuitry to produce an analog output
signal, which is sent to the Control Module as the sensor read-
ing. The range is 0-500 ppm.
Oxygen Depletion Sensor
The SHERLOCK Oxygen Depletion Electro-chemical Sensor
utilizes a chemical cell to determine the concentration of
oxygen in the air. The chemical cell produces small chemical
reaction with oxygen molecules, thus producing a voltage drop
across the cell. When the concentration of oxygen changes,
the voltage drop across the cell changes. This change in volt-
age is processed by the sensor circuitry to produce an analog
output signal, which sent to the Control Module as the sensor
reading.
Alarm Level Settings
The SHERLOCK 2-Series allows you to set a unique Level
1 Alarm Setpoint and delay and Level 2 Alarm Setpoint and
delay for each individual sensor. These relays can be active
Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.). When an
Alarm Setpoint is exceeded, after the user set delay, corre-
sponding alarm relays are activated Each Alarm Setpoint has a
programable Alarm Delay, 1 to 120 minutes. Sensor readings
are required to exceed an Alarm Setpoint for the programmed
amount of time before the control activates the corresponding
alarm relay contacts. For example, if the Alarm Setpoint is
200 and the Alarm Delay is five minutes, the control will enter
an alarm condition only if the sensor detects a level of 200 or
higher for more than five minutes.
Alarm Indication
All alarms are logged to indicate which sensor went in and out
of any of the two alarm levels, the time and date of the alarm.
The alarm log stores the last 10 alarms. When a sensor is in
alarm, a red alarm light on the front panel will flash and the on-
board beeper will sound and the display will show the activated
alarm level.
Alarm Relay Contacts
The SHERLOCK 2-Series provides two fused SPDT (Single
Pole Double Throw) relay outputs for each alarm level that
switch positions in the event of an alarm condition. Level 1
Alarm activates #1 (REFR LEAK LEVEL 1) and #2 (REFR
LEAK LEVEL 1 SILENCEABLE) relays. Level 2 Alarm
activates #3 (REFR LEAK LEVEL 2) and #4 (REFR LEAK
LEVEL 2 SILENCEABLE) relays. One alarm relay on each
level can be silenced (returned to non-alarm state), (#2 REFR
LEAK LEVEL 1 SILENCEABLE / #4 REFR LEAK LEVEL
2 SILENCEABLE) when the ALARM CLEAR button on the
front panel is pushed. The other 2 alarm relays will remain
active until the alarm condition is cleared. The SHERLOCK
2-Series can be programmed so that the alarm is cleared auto-
matically when the air is cleared below the alarm setpoint
(UNLATCHED) The relays can also be programmed so the
alarm is latched “ON” until the alarm is manually reset. The
relays can be configured so the relays are "Energized to Alarm"
(where the C-NC contacts open on alarm) or "De-Energized to
Alarm" (where the relay is energized during normal operations
and the C-NC contacts close on alarm).
Zone isolation Alarm Relays (Factory Installed Option)
Optional zone isolation alarm relay (#5 SENSOR A ZONE, #6
SENSOR A ZONE SILENCE-ABLE, #7 SENSOR B ZONE,
#8 SENSOR B ZONE SILENCE-ABLE). Each sensor can be
programmed to activate by level 1 or level 1 & 2 alarm. One
relay is silenceable and one is non-silenceable. This is a factory
installed option and cannot be retro-fitted in the field.
Analog Signal Generator (Factory Installed Option)
The SHERLOCK 102 and 202 has an optional 4-20 mA analog
output generator for each sensor. Either of these signals can be
incorporated to any commercially used monitoring and alarm-
ing system or in-house Data Management System. This option
can only be installed in the factory and cannot be retro-fitted in
the field.
Systems Sensor Open Monitoring
The SHERLOCK 2-Series constantly monitors the wiring
to the sensors. Should any of the activated sensor wires be
cut or disconnected, “SENSOR ALARM” will appear on the
SHERLOCK display, the#1 (REFR LEAK LEVEL 1) and #2
(REFR LEAK LEVEL 1 SILENCEABLE) relays will be acti-
vated and the condition is logged.
Setback Alarm Settings
In some locations the sensor may be expected to function in two
different environments. For example, the sensor may have to
perform in still air (i.e. with the exhaust fan off) and in moving
air ( i.e. with the exhaust fan on), or the sensor may be used in a
location where changes in air quality, perhaps caused by the use
of propane powered floor buffers, elevates the sensor readings.
The SHERLOCK 2-Series provides a feature called SETBACK
to accommodate alternate environments under which the sen-
sor would operate. SETBACK provides a second ALARM
SETPOINT and a second ALARM DELAY enabling the sen-
sor to perform in this second environment. The SHERLOCK
2-Series switches to the second set of parameters when a dry
contact (i.e. air flow switch, sail switch or timer switch) closes
or on a daily time schedule.
Each sensor can be programmed with one of five SETBACK
options:
1) No SETBACK
2) SETBACK triggered by setback input 1 and the
Setback Clock
3) SETBACK triggered by setback input 2 only
Each sensor can be programmed with only one SETBACK
option; however, different sensors may be programmed to fol-
low different options.
Genesis International Inc. offers a variety of external alarms
for office use - A Remote Alarm, Remote Alarm with Strobe,
Automatic Alarm Dialer as well as for mechanical room use -
a Strobe Light and a combination Horn / Strobe as well as a
Stackable Beacon.

(Also see manual 44-0295 IR Sensor (44-0221 Obsolete)
The SHERLOCK Non-Dispersive IR Refrigerant Gas Sensor
was designed to monitor for the presence of refrigerant gases
within an enclosed space. The sensor is mounted within the
space to be monitored and connected by cable to a SHERLOCK
System. The IR sensor is calibrated to a specific refrigerant
gas. The IR comes in two Temperature ranges depending upon
the monitoring environments: Machine room and Extended for
refrigerated applications in NEMA 3R Aluminum (Pictured).
Water-tight ABS fiberglass housing for Wash down protection
(NEMA 3R) and Stainless Steel enclosure are also available.
The IR Sensor is a reliable method of monitoring for refriger-
ant gas leaks in environments that have air quality problems.
The IR will eliminate many false alarms in environments that
contain gasoline, diesel, and propane exhaust and fumes from
solvents, paints, cleansers, and others.

Potentiometers. If you have an old style sensor with a housing
that opens to show the entire inside of the sensor, please call
Genesis for a specific manual or technical advice before making
any changes to the potentiometer positions. The Sherlock IR
Sensor contains several potentiometers used in factory testing
and calibration and turning them without factory guidance can
ruin the sensor. For all new IR sensors these potentiometers are
located inside the main part of the housing and there should be
no need to open this part of the sensor to make any adjustments.
It is not recommended to do so as this could void the warranty
and cause permanent damage to the sensor.

CMOS Sensor Component Description and Use.
Jumper Shorting Pins
The Sherlock CMOS Sensor has a ten pin, five position jumper
block, marked as position 0 to 4. This jumper block allows the
user to adjust the performance of the CMOS sensor based upon
the ambient temperature. The normal, factory set position is
position 0.
Once the sensor has "warmed-up" (at least 30 minutes), set the
jumper so the sensor reading is between 0 and 80. Once the
reading has stabilized, perform the Zero Calibration procedure.
Potentiometers. The Sherlock CMOS Sensor contains a poten-
tiometer used for field calibration procedures.
Light Emitting Diode
LED L1 - LED L1 will indicate whether if the sensor is con-
nected properly and is powered up.
Status Condition

ON Steady Sensor is operating properly.
Operating Range.
The Sherlock CMOS Sensor has an effective range of 0 to 1000
ppm (gas and control dependant)
0 to 0.3 VDC - Sensor Malfunction
Temperature Adjustment: Jumper Placement
#0 60 to 120 F
#1 50 to 120 F
#2 30 to 80 F
#3 0 to 40 F
#4 -20 to 20 F
Set the jumper for the temperature range the sensor will most
likely experience.
(When Adjusting the potentiometer, the jumper needs to be
at setting number one or no adjustment will be seen.)
Use only watertight fittings, either conduit fittings or cable
retention fittings. Mount conduit on the bottom side of the-
housing to prevent moisture from dripping on the control
board.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Placement
The Sherlock CMOS Refrigerant Sensor must be placed in loca-
tions where a refrigerant gas leak is likely to occur or where
leaked refrigerant gas is likely to concentrate so as to provide
warning of a potentially hazardous condition. Mounting loca-
tions are dependent upon the type of application refrigerant.
All mounting locations should be a fixed, well supported wall,
pole or frame and in locations that will prevent damage from
fork trucks, carts, and other moveable devices.
For Halocarbon refrigerants (heavier than air), such as R11,
R22, R123, R-134a, etc..., place the sensor Genesis part number
82-0100 (60-0113) or 82-0101(60-0128) 18 to 24 inches off the
floor.
For NH3Ammonia, (Lighter than air) Genesis part number
82-0102 (60-0129) place the sensor 18 to 24 inches from the
ceiling. If circulation in the room is such that an ammonia dis-
charge will contnue to move around the room a second sensor
can be added and place 5 to 8 feet above the floor for additional
monitoring.
Sensor cable shall have the minimum specifications:
For cable runs of 0 to 100 feet. -- 22 AWG, Twisted Pair/Triad,
Stranded Wire. (Belden 8443 or equivalent)
For cable runs of 100 to 1000 feet -- 18 AWG, Twisted Pair/

The SHERLOCK Ammonia (NH3) Electro-Chemical Cell
Refrigerant Gas Sensor was designed to monitor for the pres-
ence of Ammonia refrigerant gases within an enclosed space.
The sensor is mounted within the space to be monitored and
connected by cable to a SHERLOCK System. The Electro-
Chemical Sensor Cell comes in a NEMA 3R Grey plastic box.
(Pictured) or a NEMA 3R ABS Washdown Housing.
The Electro-Chemical Sensor Cell is a reliable method of
monitoring for a low level refrigerant gas leaks in environments
that have air quality problems. The Electro-Chemical Sensor
Cell sensor will eliminate many false alarms in environments
that contain gasoline, diesel, and propane exhaust and fumes
from solvents, paints, cleansers, and others (Please call Genesis
Customer Support for more information).
The LED on the front of the sensor remains lit when the sensor
is operating withing parameters. The LED will flash when the
sensor element needs to be changed. After changing the sen-
sor element, a push button on the sensor will reset the timer for
when the next time the element needs to be changed out.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION
MONITOR AND SENSOR LOCATION
The SHERLOCK 2-Series is a permanently mounted device
which can be located in any convenient location within 800
feet of each sensor. For single runs under 100 feet, a standard
3 wire, 22 AWG cable should be used. For single runs over
100 feet and below 1000 feet, a shielded, 18 AWG 3 wire cable
should be used. Ideally the SHERLOCK 102/202 should be
mounted outside the room being monitored and wired back to
a circuit breaker panel. This way the user can check the room
conditions without putting themselves in any danger.
Any location for the SHERLOCK 2-Series and the sensors must
be free from contact with the elements such as steam, water, oil,
rain or snow.
The monitor should be kept within a temperature range of 32ºF
and 120ºF. While the IR sensors can operate in a range of -45ºF
to 120ºF. For low temperature models, consult the factory.
Sensor Placement.
The SHERLOCK Refrigerant Gas Sensor must be placed in
locations that a refrigerant gas leak is likely to occur and where
leaked refrigerant gas is likely to concentrate so as to provide
warning of a potentially hazardous condition. Mounting loca-
tions are dependent upon the application and monitored refriger-
ant gas.
All mounting locations must be a fixed, well supported wall,
pole or frame. Sensors must be placed in locations that will
prevent damage from fork trucks, carts, and other moveable
devices.
For Halocarbon refrigerants, such as R11, R22, R123, etc...,
place the sensor 18 to 24 inches off the floor. For Ammonia,
place the sensor 18 to 24 inches from the ceiling.
HVAC/Refrigeration Machinery Room -- Prior to placement of
the Refrigerant Gas Leak Sensors, the room air currents need
to be determined. Air currents can be determined through the
use of smoke candles or any other accepted field-expedient
method. The air currents of every potential condition should be
determined.
Exhaust Fan On -- The air currents with the machinery
room exhaust fan must be determined. Identify locations
that are "downwind" of the portential leak source. Located
one sensor near the air intake duct of the exhaust fan, but
not directly in the duct so the sensor is not subject to the full
force of the duct air.
Exhaust Fan Off -- In applications where the machinery
room exhaust fan can be shut off, identify air currents
of the machine room with the fan off. Locate a position
"downwind" of the potential leak source with the fan off.
This location may be ommited if teh exhaust fan is to be
operated contiuously.
Refrigerated Room -- Determine the direction of the discharge
air from the evaporator coil.
Halocarbon Refrigeraton Systems -- Mount the sensor
on a wall near the return air vents of the evaporator coil or
within between ten to twenty feet of a doorway exiting the
room to a space. Also 18 to 24 inches above the finished
floor. Use of a "J" box or some other form of protection for
the sensor may be necessary.
Ammonia Refrigeration Systems -- Mount the sensor on
a wall in the downwind air path of the discharge air, at least
20 feet or more from the coil or on the wall on the opposite
side of the room. 18 to 24 inches from the ceiling. Do not
place the sensor closer than 10 feet from the coil or directly
in the discharge air path to avoid temperature fluctuations
due to defrost and violent air circulation.
Mounting
The sensor must be mounted with the wire terminal blocks ori-
ented to the lower right and the sampling chamber in a vertical
position. Failure to mount the sensor in this fashion may result
in false or inaccurate readings and can allow moisture to enter
the housing and destroy the sensor.
Halo-Carbon, NEMA 1/Ammonia, R123, NEMA 1
Wall Mount. Use locally available wall mounting hardware,
such as molly-bolts or toggle bolts, to firmly affix the sensor to
the wall. The sensor can be mounted using the available screw
holes or a combination of the buttonhole and the two bottom
screw holes.
Pole Mounting. The sensor can be mount to a support pole by
utilizing Uni-Strut C braces. Attach the C-braces to the back
of the housing, perpendicular to the sensing chamber direction.
Attach clamps to the C-brace and run stainless steel band straps
around the pole and through the straps.
All Sensors, NEMA 3R
Wall Mount. Use locally available wall mounting hardware,
such as molly-bolts or toggle bolts, to firmly affix the sensor to
the wall. The sensor should be mounted using the mounting
feet mounted on the back of the housing. Ensure that all four
sets of mounting feet are accessible. Hold down the mounting
feet with the locally available wall mounting hardware.
Pole Mounting. The sensor can be mount to a support pole by
utilizing Uni-Strut type C braces. Attach the C-braces to the
back of the housing, perpendicular to the sensing chamber direc-
tion. Attach clamps to the C-brace and run stainless steel band
straps around the pole and through the straps.
All access holes must be drilled by the installation personnel.
Use only watertight fittings, either conduit fittings or cable
retention fittings. Mount conduit on the bottom side of the
housing to prevent moisture from dripping on the control
board.
The sensors should be located as close to potential leaks as pos-
sible. Refrigerants that are heavier than air will tend to settle
at the lowest point. Where there is a ready flow of air, a leak
will mix with the air and flow with the air stream. Under cer-
tain circumstances the best sensor location may require some
experimentation; however, we suggest the following sensor
locations:
COMPONENT INSTALLATION

44-00-0297 SHERLOCK102/202 REV. 4.1 05-02-15 21
Machine rooms with cycling exhaust fans:
Position the sensor about waist high, below the fan. DO
NOT mount the sensor in the fanhousing. The sensor set-
back should be assigned to any sensors mounted in a high
air flow path. A dry contact from the fan relay or a sail
switch will be needed to switch the SHERLOCK 2-Series
to the SETBACK mode.
Refrigeration pits piping troughs:
Position the sensor at least 12 inches above the lowest
point. If the piping trough is subject to the effects of the
machine room exhaust, use the sensor SETBACK feature.
Return air duct to the HVAC system:
Most any location in the main return duct will pick up leaks
in the sales area of the store. See NOTE below.
Ammonia, being lighter than air, will rise from the source;
therefore, ammonia sensors should be mounted above and
down wind from the source. Since halocarbon based refriger-
ants are heavier than air, the sensors detecting the presence of
these refrigerants should be located low and down wind from a
potential leak.
NOTE: When the sensor are mounted in an area that has air
of high velocity, measures must be taken to prevent the sensor
from being cooled while still allowing the sensor to sample the
air. One method is to mount the sensor inside a 3” diameter by
9” length plastic sewer pipe. A second method is to mount a
baffle in the air stream just ahead of the sensor. Air flow across
the sensor should never exceed 2 feet per second.

Cable Runs.
All cabling must avoid running parallel to high voltage (48VDC
or greater) or any AC voltage wiring. Cable must be greater than
12 inches from high voltage wiring or conduit. Avoid running
cable near all inductive loads, such as motors, fluorescent fix-
tures, transformers. Depending upon local codes, sensor cabling
may be run loose or be placed into conduit used exclusively for
