1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the KD-12 Diffusion type Gas Detector.
In order to ensure the correct and safe operation of this product, be sure to read this
manual before use.
This product detects oxygen leaks and oxygen deficiency in working environments of
semiconductor manufacturing plants. It displays the oxygen concentration and also
outputs an analog signal (4 to 20 mA DC) indicating the oxygen concentration to an
external device. If a preset oxygen concentration is reached, the red alarm lamp and
alarm relays will operate, making this Detector useful in monitoring oxygen
concentrations.
Maintenance and inspection are indispensable to the reliable performance of the Gas
Detection/Alarm System. Be sure to perform the maintenance checks described in this
manual.
Explanation of Symbols
The following symbols are used to indicate and classify precautions in this manual.
DANGER

serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates information that, if not heeded, could possibly result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates information that, if not heeded, could result in minor injury, or
damage to the product.
MEMO Indicates advice on handling the product.

6. Wiring Method
6-1. Wiring Work
Be sure to provide explosion-proof wiring if the product is to be used in a hazardous area.
Cable Work
Use a shielded cable, such as CVV-S with a thickness of 1.25 to 2.00 mm2. Lay all cables
in protective tubes, such as metal conduits or carbon steel pipes, or other protective
structure, such as a concrete duct.
When using the external contact function of the product, which requires a five-conductor
cable, make sure that the maximum diameter of the cable conductor is 1.25 mm2. When
using only the analog signal function, which requires a three-conductor cable, without the
external contact function, make sure that the diameter of the cable conductor is 12.5 mm2
or 2.00 mm2.
CAUTION
All necessary work for the product including wiring and installation should be carried out
by suitably trained personnel in accordance with applicable code of practice.
Inspection, maintenance and repair of the equipment should be carried out by suitably
trained personnel in accordance with applicable code of practice.
WARNING
The cable entry device and blanking elements shall be of ATEX certified in type of
explosion protection flameproof enclosure ‘’d’’, suitable for the condition of use and
correctly installed.
Unused apertures shall be closed with suitable ATEX certified blanking elements.

14
6-2. Wiring and Connection
Connecting Power Supply and Signal Wires
Provide dedicated breakers, if needed, to lines that are connected to peripheral devices,
such as indicator units and signal converters.
Use a dedicated cable, such as CVV-S (with a thickness of 1.25 to 2.00 mm2).
Make sure that the power supplied to the product is within the specified voltage range.
Make sure that the load resistance of the signal line, including the resistance of the wire, is
300 ohm or less.
WARNING
Before opening the casing cover of the gas detector, be sure to turn off the product and
all devices (e.g., indicator unit and signal converter) connected to the product.
If the power is turned ON, the power supply may become a source of ignition.
Be sure to ground the product to prevent electric shocks.
Shall use a conductor which is at least M4 size by solderless, for external earthing.
Shall place the stainless steel plain washer between casing and terminal.
CAUTION
Wire the connecting terminals correctly.
Separate connection cables from power lines as far as possible.
When closing the casing cover, make sure that the power supply cords, harness, and
O-ring are not caught in the casing cover.

6-2. Wiring and Connection (Continued)
MEMO
If the main unit is grounded on the power supply side, do not connect a shielded cable
to the ground terminal (E) in the gas detector, or otherwise two-point grounding will result.

6-2. Wiring and Connection (Continued)
Typical Connection Procedure
(1) Prepare a power supply that can provide 24 V.
(Do not turn on the power supply before wiring the main unit.)
(2) Loosen the hexagon socket bolts on the four corners of the main unit using the
provided hexagon wrench with a nominal diameter of 4 mm, and open the casing
cover of the main unit.
(3) Press the lever of the terminal block with a flat-blade screwdriver.
(4) The clamp will open. Insert the lead wire.
(5) Connect the positive side of the power supply to the 24 V+ terminal.
(6) Connect the negative side of the power supply to the GND terminal.
(7) The lead wire will be automatically secured when the screwdriver is lifted.
(8) Check that the power supply cords are securely connected to the terminals. This
completes the power supply preparations.
(9) Wire the analog signal and external contact terminals, if required.
(10) Tighten the hexagon socket bolts (tightening torque: 0.8-2.4 Nm) on the four corners
of the main unit and close the casing cover of the main unit.
CAUTION
When lowering the lever of the terminal block, be careful not to allow the flat-blade
screwdriver to slip off of the lever. Otherwise, the flat-blade screwdriver may damage the
sensor unit code or circuit board.
When closing the casing cover, make sure that the power supply cord, harness, and O-ring
are not caught by the casing cover.

7. Precautions before Use
In Case of Oxygen Deficiency
WARNING
If there is a alarm, take the necessary measures specified by your company.
If a gas leak occurs indoors, open the windows and doors to ventilate the room.
Check the gas leakage location and promptly take the necessary measures.
Measure the gas concentration with a portable gas detector and confirm the safety before
entering the detection site.
DANGER
Always enter the detection site after making sure that it has approximately the same
oxygen concentration as the atmosphere. If the concentration of oxygen is below 18.0
vol%, it may result in death due to anoxia.
CAUTION
Before turning ON any of the devices (e.g., indicator unit, signal converter) connected to
the product, recheck that all of the connections are correct. Make sure that the gas
detector and indicator unit or signal converter, in particular, are connected properly.
