SAFETY
Ensure that you read and understand this handbook BEFORE installing/operating the equipment.
Pay particular attention to the Safety Warnings.
WARNINGS
1. Thisgasdetectionequipmentiscertiedforandintendedforuseinpotentiallyhazardous
areas. Install and use the equipment in accordance with current local and national
regulations.
2. Refertothecontroldrawingsincludedinthisdocumentwheninstallingthecertied
components.
3. Operators should be fully aware of the action to be taken if the gas concentration exceeds
alarm level.
4. Donotmodifyoraltertheconstructionofanyoftheunitsasessentialsafetyandcertication
requirements may be invalidated.
5. The equipment is not suitable for use in oxygen enriched atmospheres (>21%V/V). Oxygen
decientatmospheres(<10%V/V)maysuppresssomesensoroutputs.
6. The equipment is intended for use at atmospheric pressure only and should not be used in
pressures exceeding 1.1 bar.
Transmitter Unit only
1. INPUT VOLTAGE MUST NOT EXCEED THE STATED MAXIMUM (32V DC) AS
ESSENTIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS MAY BE INVALIDATED AND THE UNIT MAY BE
PERMANENTLY DAMAGED.
2. Alarmsshouldnotberesetuntilitisconrmedthatgasisnot present.
3. Hazardousvoltagesmayexistatalarmcontacts.Ensurepowerisdisconnectedatsource
prior to servicing contacts.
4. Gas events occurring while accessing the Transmitter Unit menus will not be reported locally.
5. Overrangeammablegasreadingsmayindicateanexplosiveconcentrationofgas.
Certied Sensor only
1. WheninstalledtomeasureammablegasitisessentialthateithertheTransmitterunitor
controlnetworkisconguredtolatchtheoverrangecondition.IftheTransmitterunitlocal
relays are used this should be achieved by enabling the overrange latching function of the
Transmitterunit.Depletionofoxygenasaconsequenceofdisplacementbyammablegas
canresultinthegasreadingreturningtozero.
2. Change gas cartridges using the procedure described in this handbook. Failure to correctly
follow the procedure could result in the wrong cartridge being installed, and possibly non-
detection of events. Alternatively, extraneous alarms could be triggered by chemicals
detected but not of concern at a particular location.
3. Sensor cartridges may contain corrosive solutions. Dispose of in accordance with local and
national regulations.
4. Duringusage,assomegasesmaybehazardous,outletsfromaccessories,etc.,e.g.Flow
Housing, should exhaust to a safe area.

SAFETY
CAUTIONS
1. Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed for
performance by CSA.
2. Refer to local or national regulations relative to installation and use at the site.
Note: This equipment is designed and constructed to prevent ignition sources arising,
even in the event of frequent disturbances or equipment operating faults. The
electrical input is protected with a fuse.
3. Installation should consider not only optimum siting for gas detection related to potential
leak points, gas characteristics and ventilation but also placement where the potential for
mechanical damage is minimised or avoided.
4. Observe precautions for handling electrostatic discharge sensitive devices when accessing
the interior of the Transmitter Unit.
5. Calibrationproceduresshouldonlybeperformedbyqualiedpersonnel.
6. Ensure that when forcing signals on the Transmitter Unit’s output that the effects on the
network and controller are understood.
7. EnsurethattheApexTransmitterUnitorJunctionBoxamepathisnotdamagedduring
dismantlingprocedures.Theamepathisformedbythematingsurfacesoftheunit’stop
and base.
8. During installation/maintenance only use the supplied parts. Replacement with alternatives
willinvalidatecertication.
9. Exposuretouorinatedhydrocarbonsorsiliconeswillpoisonthesensorbeadsoncatalytic
sensor cartridges. If a sensor is known to have been poisoned then it must be re-calibrated.
Ifnotsurethenowgasoverthesensorandifthereadingisincorrectre-calibratewithinthe
cartridge’s tolerance value.
10.OnlycartridgeswiththefollowingpartnumberscanbettedtotheCertiedSensor:
 2110B30x0,31x0,32x0,33x0,34x0,35x0series
2110B3700-2110B3999range
 Note: CertiedtoCSA C22.2 No. 152onlywhenttedwithspeciccartridges.
 Seespecicationsfordetails.
11.Donotusetheunitwherethetemperatureislowerthan-40°C(-40°F)orhigherthan
+65°C(149°F).
12. Exposures to gas above the recommended range may result in ambiguous readings and
may require subsequent re-calibration of the sensor.
13. Review cartridge data sheets for operating temperatures and humidities, which are
determined on a cartridge by cartridge basis.
14.Disposeofinaccordancewithlocaldisposalregulations.Materialsused:

1. INTRODUCTION
ApexisagasdetectionsystemthatconsistsofaTransmitterUnit,acertiedgassensorandaset
ofaccessories.TheTransmitterUnit,CertiedSensorandCertiedJunctionBoxaccessoryareall
certiedforuseinpotentiallyhazardousareasandareprotectedagainstwateranddustingress
to IP67.
Typical working environments are oil and gas distribution, petroleum extraction and chemical
manufacture.
System installation is straightforward. Components should be installed in accordance with the
procedures described in this handbook and to local or national installation codes of practice.
The Transmitter Unit acts as the local system controller and features a large LCD screen and
four control buttons that are used for operator interaction. Control of the system is implemented via
a system of software-driven hierarchical menus that include such operations as cartridge change,
systemconguration,etc.Remotecontrolofthesystemcanbemadeviaanoptional
digital interface.
TheTransmitterUnitcanhavetheCertiedSensorttedtoitlocallyormountedremotelyusinga
CertiedJunctionBoxandadditionalcablingupto100metreslong.
TheTransmitterUnitprovidesa4-20mAoutput,aswellasanoptionaldigitaloutput.Relaysfor
operating locally-wired devices, such as lights, horns, etc. are included. The range of accessories
enhances operation of the system and includes a collecting cone, weather protection, etc.
TheCertiedSensoriscompatiblewitharangeofmorethan40sensorcartridgesthatusecatalytic
bead,thicklmandelectrochemicalcells.
The interchangeable sensor cartridge determines which gas is monitored. All gas cartridges are fully
calibrated when supplied.
TheCertiedSensorusesintrinsicallysafecircuitstodrivethecartridges.Cartridgesmaytherefore
be exchanged without powering down even in the presence of an explosive gas atmosphere.
Field calibration of the sensor, if required, is also possible. The cartridges available are listed in
Appendix A.
The output from the sensor provides a gas concentration reading that is displayed on the LCD
screenonthefrontoftheTransmitterUnitandisalsotransmittedonthe4-20mAoutputandthe
optional digital interface.
