1.1 GENERAL
The 705 ECC Sensor (Figure 1) is a hydrogen sulphide toxic
gas detector certified for installation in a hazardous area.
This version uses an electrochemical sensor, in conjunction
with an electronic circuit to form a 2-wire 4 - 20mA transmitter.
The sensor comprises an aluminium housing containing an
electrochemical cell with a sintered stainless steel disc
forming the face of the sensor. The housing has a 47mm AF
body with a 3/4 NPT mounting thread at one end and an
M36 accessory thread on the other end. A plastic Filter
Housing screws on to the accessory thread that holds the
Hydrophobic Barrier in position, if accessories are not fitted.
There are a number of accessories available for the 705
Sensor which utilise the M36 accessory thread. Refer to
Section 8 for alternative systems to which the 705 Sensor
can be connected.
Note: New Sensors are despatched with a protection disc
in place of the Hydrophobic Barrier. This disc should
not be removed until the sensor is installed or
commissioned.

1.2 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The sensor contains an Electrochemical Cell which generates
an electrical current in proportion to gas concentration within
the cell. Since the current output from the cell is in microamps,
this is amplified and processed by the electronics in the
terminal enclosure. The resulting signal, in the range 4 -
20mA and representing 0 - 50ppm H2S, can then be wired to
equipment in the safe area to provide alarm and concentration
indications.
1.3 ACCESSORIES
1.3.1 General
The following accessories are available for use with the
sensors:
a. Collecting Cone (Figure 2).
b. Weather Protection Housing (Figure 3).
c. Sample Flow Housing (Figure 4).
d. Hydrophobic Barrier.
e. Gassing Point Assembly (Figure 5).
1.3.2 Collecting Cone
The detection of a lighter than air gas is enhanced by the use
of a Collecting Cone. The cone fits onto the sensor accessory
thread in place of the Filter Housing and retains the
Hydrophobic Barrier.
A nozzle on the cone permits gassing of the sensor with the
cone in position. The test gas is applied either direct to the
nozzle or via a permanently connected pipeline when the
sensor is in an inaccessible location.

1.3.3 Weather Protection Housing
The Weather Protection Housing, fitted to a sensor installed
in an exposed location, affords protection from driving rain
from vertical to 30° below horizontal. When mounted close
to the ground, protection is afforded from heavy rain
rebounding off the ground. It also reduces contamination
from industrial waste and enables the application of test gas
in high wind speeds without significant error.
The housing is fitted to the sensor accessory thread in place
of the Filter Housing and retains the Hydrophobic Barrier.
Incorporated in the housing is a nozzle to facilitate gassing
of the sensor with the Weather Protection Housing in position,
either by direct application to the nozzle or via a permanently
connected pipeline. The nozzle is free to rotate within the
housing to allow removal from the sensor without
disconnecting a permanently connected pipeline, when
changing the Hydrophobic Barrier and cleaning the sensor.

1.3.4 Sample Flow Housing
A Sample Flow Housing provides a facility to allow sampling
of a closed system by means of two pipelines. The flow
housing is fitted to the sensor accessory thread by a locking
ring that enables the housing to be removed without
disconnecting the pipeline. The Hydrophobic Barrier is
retained by the housing and interfaces with a gasket bonded
to the housing.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.3.5 Gassing Point Assembly
The Gassing Point Assembl assembly can be fixed in a
convenient position and permanently connected by suitable
tubing to an inaccessible sensor, thus simplifying the
application of test gas when checking sensor calibration. A
DIN Rail Mounting Assembly (00785-A-0069) is available to
enable five gassing point assemblies to be mounted side by
side.
1.3.6 Hydrophobic Barrier
The Hydrophobic Barrier consists of a layer of stainless
steel mesh with a rubber rim. A hydrophobic barrier of PTFE
is bonded to the stainless steel surface.
This MUST be fitted with the white surface faceing outwards.
