INTRODUCTION
Hansen Technologies offers a complete line of industrial
quality Gas Detection Sensors, Monitors and Alert
Systems for refrigerants and other common gases.
These state-of-the-art gas detection products utilize a
range of sensing technologies to suit a given application.
Available in several configurations to meet various
application requirements with optimum accuracy and
reliability.
APPLICATIONS
Hansen Gas Sensors are suitable for use in industrial
refrigeration engine rooms, cold storage rooms,
processing rooms, truck docks, and for relief valve vent
lines. They are also suitable for use in supermarkets,
and large institutional and commercial buildings.
Typical gas detection applications include Ammonia,
Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Hydrocarbons, HFCs, HCFCs
and CFCs.
ADVANTAGES
Hansen uses a wide variety of sensing technologies
including electrochemical, semiconductor and infrared
sensors to selectively detect most gases. These sensors
continuously determine the level of gas present in the
surrounding environment. The analog outputs (4-20mA
or 0-10V DC) can interface with nearly any existing
monitor, computer or PLC controller.
The sensing elements (except Basic and Extreme Gas
Sensors) are mounted externally on the enclosure. This
helps to provide quick response to potential leaks,
particularly in still air. Electronics are sealed in a NEMA4
enclosure (except Basic Gas Sensor) which protects them
from moisture, dust and the surrounding gases, which in
the case of ammonia can shorten the life of electronics.
The sensing elements are easily replaced.
Gas Sensors have built-in visual and audible alarms.
An auxiliary one amp SPDT relay output is standard.
Testing and recalibration procedures are simple.

GAS SENSOR LOCATION
Sensors should be located in an accessible area
for maintenance and testing, but away from moving
equipment that could accidentally come in contact with
the sensor. Avoid thermal extremes (close to heaters)
and do not place unprotected in direct, strong drafts/
airflows, near exit doors, or areas where falling water or
condensing moisture are present. If high humidity is
always present, power up the unit as soon as possible,
as long term exposure can shorten the life of the gas
sensing element. Select the unit for harsh environments
where a condensing atmosphere may be present. In
blast freezers, mount the gas sensor below the coil to
avoid high moisture and steam during defrost.
The two generally accepted methods of locating sensors
are “Point” and “Perimeter” detection. “Point” detection
is where sensors are located near the most likely sources
of leakage. “Perimeter” detection is where sensors
completely surround the area in question. The size and
nature of the area will help to decide which method is
the most appropriate. Air flow should be considered
in a ventilated room. Place sensors downstream of
potential leak points.
Any sensor which is to be used for detecting a gas
with a vapor density greater that one (i.e. heavier
than air) should generally be located nearer ground
level. Conversely, for any lighter than air gases such
as ammonia, the sensor needs to be located higher up.
Typically ammonia sensors are mounted 12˝ - 24˝ (.3 to

.5m) from the ceiling. Sensors should not be located
too close to the ceiling as hot air trapped under the
ceiling may act to buffer the target gases from reaching
the sensor.
The number of sensors in each area is a function of local
codes and regulations and the customers’ guidelines
for gas detection.

GAS DETECTION SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
There are a number of typical installation configurations to meet national and local codes.
RELIEF VALVE VENT LINE
Often the vent line is extended high above the ground or roof. The sensor element can be installed near the outlet of
the vent line and the gas sensor electronics mounted at a convenient height for servicing. A small length of tubing
can be run for injecting test gas near the sensor element. Install a plug with a small opening to allow a small air flow
to clear fugitive gases and detected gas after a release. Hansen recommends the alarm setting at 5000 PPM.
For water diffuser systems where the relief valve vent piping is diverted into a water diffusion tank, install the vent
line sensor on the diffusion tank exhaust vent, not on the piping to the diffusion tank.
LOCAL AND REMOTE VISUAL/AUDIBLE ALARM
Sometimes it may be advantageous to have both local and remote displays and alarms. A display/alarm control
inside or just outside of a room can be monitored and the same display/alarm or a Hansen monitor in the control
room can also alert the operator to an abnormal condition in the plant.
STAND ALONE CONTROL
The Hansen Gas Sensor can operate as a stand alone device. All that is needed is a 24V AC/DC power supply for
the gas sensor and auxiliary devices for light, horn or digital readout, such as the Hansen GAS Alert System.

WIRING GAS SENSORS
Install the Hansen Gas Sensor in an area where operating
personnel can easily monitor the remote sensor. Refer
to Gas Sensor Location on page 3 for suggestions on
proper placement of Remote Sensors.
Use three-wire (VDC supply voltage), twisted pair
shielded cable such as Belden 8770 or equivalent to
connect the gas sensor to the gas monitor (page 13),
GAS Alert System (page 17), customer supplied PLC or
computer (page 18). When powering the gas sensor
from a VAC power supply use four-wire, twisted pair
shielded cable, such as Belden 82418 or equivalent.
Connect the power input wires to terminals ØV and +V.
Set applied voltage jumper to appropriate AC or DC
position. Extreme Gas Sensor requires an additional
external 24V AC or DC power supply wired with 18 AWG
cable. Refer to Fig. K for wiring details. Connect the
signal wire to terminal I for 4-20mA output or V terminal
for 1-5 volt output. The 4-20mA output is best for long
distances to the monitor and where electrical noise is
a problem. The voltage output is for short distances
within 10 feet (3 m) of the monitor. The maximum 4-20mA
cable length is 1000 ft (300 m).
Under no circumstances should the gas sensor low
voltage signal wires be in a common conduit, tray or
wiring panel with power wiring over 48 volts. Do not run
wires near variable frequency drive (VFD) equipment.
When using the gas sensors connected directly to a
customer supplied PLC or computer, refer to Fig. J for
wiring details.
Hansen recommends backup of gas detection system
with an uninterruptable power supply to provide battery
backup in the event of power failure.
INSTALLATION
Mounting the gas sensor varies by model. Refer
to Installation Dimensions below for mounting
requirements.
SENSING ELEMENT
Typical sensor life is based on normal operating
conditions. Exposure to high levels of the target gas
will shorten these times. The typical sensor life of the
electrochemical gas sensor element is 2-3 years; typical
sensor life for semiconductor element is 7-8 years; and
typical sensor life for infrared element is 8-10 years.
Recalibration should be performed at least once a year.
Calibration can be performed locally at sensor installation
site. If desired results cannot be achieved or if signal
reads 0.5mA, replacement of the sensor element may be
required. See Sensor Element Replacement section
for further instruction.
Note: Insurance companies, local and state agencies
may require more frequent testing and calibration; refer
to insurance carrier mandates as well as local and state
codes.

SETTING ADJUSTMENTS OF SENSORS
There are several selectable features included in the
Hansen Gas Sensor. Refer to pages 6 and 7 for the
adjustable features. Note the adjustment screws on
the circuit board for the electrochemical sensor have
a different layout then the semiconductor sensor. The
jumpers may be moved without shutting off the power.
With the use of a 12-24V AC/DC power source, these
sensors can be set to the customers specifications
prior to mounting the gas sensor in the engine room or
refrigerated area.
Relay and Horn Set Point
The adjustment screw A sets the trip point for the relay
and the alarm horn. A 0-5V scale measures the full sensing
range of the Gas Sensor. The trip point voltage can be
measured at points ØV and REF1 located on the board.
Refer to pages 6 and 7 for location of the reference pin
REF1. A 100 PPM range gas sensor reading 2.5 volts at
the reference pin would be equivalent to half the range
or 50 PPM. Default factory setting is 50% of range.
Note that the set point of the relay is independent
of the set points to the Gas Detection Monitor. To
assist in selecting the correct voltage for the desired
PPM set point, refer to Table 1 below.
VOLTAGE PPM RANGE
5 100 250 500 3000 10,000
4 80 200 400 2400 8000
3 60 150 300 1800 6000
2 40 100 200 1200 4000
1 20 50 100 600 2000
.5 10 25 50 300 1000
TABLE 1
Setting Minimum or Maximum Relay Set Point
There is a practical limit for setting the minimum or
maximum relay set point. There is the tolerance of the
electronic board and the test meter. It is recommended
to keep the relay set point between 10% and 95% of
the range.
Time Delay
A time delay for the operation of the relay and alarm horn
can be selected using jumpers JP5 and JP6. Default
factory setting is zero.
Alarm Horn
Alarm horn is 40dB at 2 feet for Basic Sensor; all other
models not audible with cover closed. The alarm horn
can be disabled using jumper JP2. Default factory
setting is enabled.
Adjustment of the Detection Range
Adjustment Screw Z sets the zero (0 PPM) and Adjustment
Screw S sets the span. (full range = 1000PPM, for
instance). The output of the sensor circuit can be
monitored via test points ØV and VS. The full range
equals 5 volts DC. See Calibration Procedures for
further details.
GAS SENSOR OPERATION
On power up the internal relay will energize switching
from the normally closed position to the normally open
position. In addition, the sensor will go through an
initial warm-up delay for five minutes. At this time, the
I and V outputs are 0. This is indicated by the green
LED flashing approximately every second. After five
minutes, the green LED stays on continuously, indicating
power to the gas sensor and ready for service. The gas
sensor also sends a milliamp output signal to the gas
detection monitor, PLC, or computer. This output signal
is proportional to the amount of the specific gas being
monitored in the air around the gas sensor. If signal
reads 0.5mA, it is an indication the sensing element has
failed or disconnected. Verify proper installation and
refer to testing and calibration procedures.
Fail Safe Operation
Hansen Gas Sensors feature a one amp SPDT alarm
relay for fail safe operation. In the event of a sensor
element failure, power loss or gas leak detection, the
internal relay will be de-energized. This relay can be
used to trigger an external alarm.
Start Up Test
Once the installation of the gas sensors and monitors
is complete, the entire gas sensor system should be
tested. Normally, two people are required—one person
using a small amount of the target gas to “bump” each
sensor in turn, a second person at the monitor location
to verify the sensor is connected to the correct input,
responds to the target gas and causes the lights and
alarms to respond.
Gas Sensor Testing
Field testing of the gas sensor is normally done for three
reasons. The first is to determine if the gas sensor is
responding to the specific gas. This test is sometimes
called a “bump” test. The frequency of the test is usually
stated in the facilities Process Safety Management (PSM)
document, but not less than every six months.
The second reason for gas sensor testing is to be sure
the gas sensor is properly calibrated. Depending on the
sensing element type, the sensor sensitivity will change
with time. In particular, electrochemical sensors use a
material that is depleted with time. The length of time
varies depending on the amount of exposure to the target
gas, the ambient temperature and humidity, and changes
to temperature and humidity range. Atmospheres that
are very dry or very humid will shorten the life of a
sensing element.
The third reason is to be sure the gas sensor output
triggers the alarms on the monitor, PLC, Gas Alert System,
horn or lights. Gas sensors should be recalibrated at
least once a year or sooner where the gas sensor is
frequently exposed to low concentrations of the target
gas. Semiconductor and infrared sensors should be
checked annually. All sensor types should be recalibrated
immediately after exposure to a large concentration of
the target gas.
Note: Insurance companies, local and state agencies
may require more frequent testing and calibration;
refer to insurance carrier mandates as well as local
and state codes.
Calibration of Electrochemical Sensors
Read the calibration instructions completely before
proceeding. If in doubt about a procedure, please
contact Hansen Technologies for further assistance.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
Refer to Fig. E for calibration of Hansen sensors.
Equipment required:
Hansen calibration kit, stopwatch, hex wrench; 5/32˝,
long nose pliers, 24V AC/DC power supply, voltmeter,
2 minigrabber voltmeter leads and calibration gas for
the specific sensor.
Setup:
Be sure the system is made safe during1.
calibration. The 4-20mA output and internal relay
will be active during calibration.
Be sure the gas sensor has been powered up2.
for a minimum 24 hours to stabilize the sensing
element.
Verify the green LED is illuminated and the red3.
LED is off.
Disable the internal horn by removing JP2 jumper.4.
Zero Calibration:
Set the voltmeter to the appropriate DC range. The5.
sensor element output is measured in DC volts;
zero volts equals zero PPM and 5 volts equals the
gas sensor PPM rating. (i.e. 100PPM, 250PPM).
Attach the voltmeter leads to the VS, (+) lead from
the voltmeter, V0, (-) lead of the voltmeter.
Be sure the ambient atmosphere around the gas6.
sensor is free of the target gas.
Adjust the zero potentiometer (Z) until the voltage7.
reading on the voltmeter reads between zero
volts and +/- 0.090VDC.
Span Calibration:
Always perform the zero calibration before doing1.
the span calibration.
Place the boot over the sensor element. Use2.
the correct concentration of calibration gas for
the full range of the sensor. In other word, for a
gas sensor with a range of 0 to 250 PPM, use a
250 PPM calibration gas when setting the span.
If full range calibration gas is not available, a
calibration gas of less than full range can be used
then adjust to the corresponding output voltage.
This may result in some loss of accuracy.
3a. Gas sensors (except Vent line).
Start the flow of gas. Observe the output, it
should begin to increase after 5 seconds. Leave
the gas flow on and observe the voltage. The
sensor voltage will slowly climb toward 5VDC.
When the voltage does not change by more than
+/- 0.010 volts per 15 seconds the sensor output
voltage is considered to be stable. Adjust the
span potentiometer (S) so the output voltage
reads between 4.95 to 5.00 volts DC.
3b. Vent line gas sensors.
Start the flow of gas. Observe the output, it
should begin to increase after 5 seconds. Leave
the gas flow on and observe the voltage. The
sensor voltage will ramp up very quickly crest
then decrease quickly. At this point, adjust the
span potentiometer (S) so the output reads
between 4.95 to 5.00 volts DC.
4. Stop the flow of gas and remove the boot from the
sensor element. Verify the sensor voltage output
begins to decrease.
5. Do not attempt to re-adjust the zero or span
calibration until another 24 hours of powered
operation has passed.
6. Enable system. Verify proper operation.
7. Enable the internal horn by installing JP2 jumper.
Electrochemical Sensor Only (Zero Offset)
If the gas sensor is calibrated in the environment for
which it will be used a final zero adjustment will not be
necessary. If the gas sensor will be calibrated at one
temperature (70ºF, 21ºC) then moved to its operating
environment (-4ºF, -20ºC) a maximum zero offset of 2%

Low-level Alarm:
- Visual Warning Yellow LED
- Audible Warning Intermittent
- Relay SPDT Energized
High level alarm:
- Visual Warning Red LED
- Audible Warning Continuous
- Relay SPDT Energized
The Model HLM2 two channel monitor has the alarm
built in.
The Model HLM6 six channel monitor has an externally
mounted horn. A device rated up to 12V DC at 100mA
maximum may be connected to CN11, see Fig. G. The
high level SPDT relay may be set for Normal Operation
(normally closed position with no power) or Fail-Safe
Operation (relay energized when power to monitor is
applied). The Fail-Safe Operation is initialized by setting
Jumper JP1 over pins 2 and 3.
Low level alarms reset automatically when the detected
gas dissipates. High level alarm condition requires a
manual reset (user to press the reset button on the
topside of the monitor). Please note that a high level
alarm condition can only be reset 30-60 seconds after
the gas clears from the sensor.
The audible alarm produced by the horn may be disabled
by turning the key switch off. The key switch is located
on the topside of the monitor.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Hansen Technologies Gas Detection Monitor should
be located in an accessible area, away from moving
equipment that could accidentally come in contact with
the unit. Avoid thermal extremes (close to heaters).
Monitor must be protected from direct strong drafts/
airflows and areas where falling water or condensing
moisture is present.
WIRING OF GAS DETECTION MONITORS
Install the Hansen Gas Detection Monitor on a wall or in
an electrical panel in an area where operating personnel
will easily monitor the leak detection system. There are
three mounting holes on the back of the panel. Remove
the front cover and disconnect the grounding wire to
access the mounting holes. Attach the monitor to the
wall using the appropriate mounting screws.
Hansen Gas Detection Monitors are available for use
with two or six sensors. For larger systems, use multiple
Gas Detection Monitors. Alternately, the gas sensors
can be used directly with a customer supplied computer
or PLC and software.
Connect specified AC power to the Gas Detection
Monitor. Size the circuit for a minimum 5 amps for 120V
or 2 amps for 230V. Use two wire plus ground with
minimum 18 gauge wire (.823mm sq.) for 120V service
or .75mm sq. wire for 230V service. Bring power into
the bottom of the enclosure. Seal any excess conduit or
cable entries. See page 13 for terminal connections.
Extreme Gas Sensor requires an additional external
24V AC or DC power supply. Refer to Fig. K for wiring
details.

Note: There is a 5 minute delay before the green power light
on the gas monitor is energized. This is to allow the Gas
Sensor to stabilize and not give off false information.
The Hansen models HLM2 and HLM6 have both low
level alarm and high level alarm single pole double
throw (SPDT) relays. HLM2 low level alarm relay is on
the CN5 terminal and the high level alarm relay is on
the CN4 terminal.
The Hansen model HLM6 has the low level alarm on CN10
terminal and the high level alarm on CN9 terminal. In
addition, model HLM6 has a fault output on CN12.
The HLM6 includes two additional outputs on terminal
block CN11. CN11 (+12V and BUZZ) are used to drive an
external alarm horn (included). CN11 (+12V and 0V) is
an uncommitted, fuse (FS8) protected, voltage output
(12V DC@100mA) available to power external relays,
etc. It may be used in conjunction with the low level,
high level and/or fault output to provide a switched 12V
DC output.
In addition to the power line fuses or circuit breakers,
each monitor has an internal power line fuse. The fuse
rating is listed in Table 3 below.

RELAY SET POINTS FOR GAS DETECTION
MONITORS
Gas Detection Monitors are equipped with two relays—
low level and high level. Shipped from the factory, the
relays are set for 20% and 60% of the output of the
sensor. In other words, a 250 PPM sensor will activate
the low level alarm at 50 PPM and the high level alarm
at 150 PPM. The relay settings can be field adjusted.
Refer to page 13 for details.
CALIBRATING HLM6 MONITOR
Use a voltmeter to monitor the voltage on the calibration
pins. The voltage range is from 0.4V DC to 2.0V DC.
The voltage range corresponds to the 4-20mA range.
(ie. 0.4V DC equals 4mA, 2.0V DC equals 20mA).
For the low level alarm relay setting, measure the voltage
across Calibration Pins 2 and 4. Set the desired low
level alarm relay using the Low Level Alarm Pot which
is located closest to the calibration pins. This setting
applies to the six channels.
For the high level alarm relay setting, measure the voltage
across Calibration Pins 1 and 4. Set the desired high
level alarm relay using the High Level Alarm Pot which is
located furthest from the calibration pins. This setting
applies to the six channels.
CALIBRATING HLM2 MONITOR
Use a voltmeter to monitor the voltage on the calibration
pins. The voltage range is from 0.4 V DC to 2.0V DC.
The voltage range corresponds to the 4-20mA range.
(i.e. 0.4V DC equals 4mA, 2.0V DC equals 20mA).
For the low level alarm relay setting, measure the voltage
across Calibration Pins 2 and 4. Set the desired low
level alarm relay using the Low Level Alarm Pot which
is located closest to the calibration pins. This setting
applies to both channels.
For the high level alarm relay setting, measure the voltage
across Calibration Pins 1 and 4. Set the desired high
level alarm relay using the High Level Alarm Pot which is
located furthest from the calibration pins. This setting
applies to both channels.

INSTALLATION OF GAS ALERT SYSTEM
The GAS Alert System is shipped factory calibrated and
tested; ready to use. Mount in a location safe and easily
accessible. Avoid thermal extremes and areas where
falling water or condensation moisture is present.
The GAS Alert System can be mounted to any solid flat
surface. Two options are available for mounting; screw
the base to a solid flat surface or clip-on to a DIN-rail.
The lower cover must be removed to access the two
mounting holes for screw mounting. Attach to the wall
with the appropriate mounting screws. Replace the
cover when complete.
WIRING GAS ALERT SYSTEM
The GAS Alert System can be used as a standalone,
locally monitored system or as part of a larger gas
monitoring and signaling system. The lower cover to
the terminal compartment must be removed to gain
access for wiring. Knockouts are available for ¼˝ and
½˝ conduit or liquid tight cable clamps. To use as a
standalone system one gas sensor is required. The
gas sensor is powered via the GAS Alert System. The
gas sensor 4-20mA signal is fed back to the GAS Alert
System to allow for a numeric readout of the actual
PPM value measured. The gas sensor internal relay is
wired to the GAS Alert System to trigger the signaling
lamp and sounder. The GAS Alert System signal lamp
and sounder will clear when the gas level as detected
by the gas sensor drops below the adjusted trip point.
The default setting from the factory for a specified gas
sensor is half the total range. For typical wiring refer
to page 17.
To use as part of a larger gas monitoring and signaling
system, each GAS Alert System will be mated with a
gas sensor. The 4-20mA signal can be used to drive
the GAS Alert System device, plus a larger monitoring
system or PLC monitoring signaling system. For typical
wiring refer to Fig. I.
