1.0 General Description
Series 6000 gas detectors are versatile, self-contained dual gas
sensor monitors, used for automated ventilation control and/or
warning systems. They can easily be networked together, with or
without a central controller into groups.

3.0 Installation
3.1 Sensor Placement
Coverage
Guidelines for sensor placement of diffusion type sensors are
based on the reasonable delay for gas to get from the source to
the sensor. All sensors are created equal in this regard.
• For air quality control of exhaust emissions and
accumulations of toxic gases the generally acceptable
maximumradiusofcoverageis50feet(15meters).
Approximately7500squarefeet(700squaremeters).
• For leak detection of combustible gases, ammonia,
refrigerationgasesthemaximumradiusis30feet(10meters)
since they can escape more quickly and the risk is greater.
The radius of coverage of any sensor does not extend beyond
any obstruction that impedes natural circulation of air. This
includes walls, stairs, elevators, shelving with solid ll, tool
chests, etc. The sensor must “see” the area of coverage; if not,
anothersensor(s)isrequired.
Mounting Heights
Mounting heights for gas sensors are based on their density,
relative to air. There are three groups;
1. Lighter than air and will be more concentrated near the
ceiling;hydrogen,methane(naturalgas),ammonia,helium.
Install at 1 to 3 feet from ceiling.
2. Similar density to air and will be diluted in air equally at
all levels; - carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen
sulde,oxygen,carbondioxide.Installfrom3feet(1
meter)offoortoonehalfoftheceilingheight.Forvehicle
emissions carbon monoxide detectors combined with
nitrogendioxidedetectorsareinstalledat3to5feet(1
to2meters)fromtheoorwhentheceilingis7to10feet
high. If the ceiling height is higher than 10 feet, for example

for heavy equipment, the carbon monoxide detectors are
installedat3to5feet(1to1.5meters)fromtheooras
per the requirements of the Canada building code and the
nitrogendioxidedetectorsshouldbeinstalledat50%ofthe
ceiling height and above the vehicle height. If the exhaust
pipes of diesel vehicles are below the vehicles, then the
nitrogen dioxide detectors should be installed at 3 to 5 feet
(1to1.5meters)fromtheoor.Inallcasesthedetectors
must be installed above obstructions blocking circulation of
air in front of the detectors; example, maintenance garages
in automobile dealerships where tool chests, work tables and
storage racks typically line all walls.
3. Heavier than air andwillconcentrateneartheoor;-HFCs,
HCFCs,propane,chlorine,mostorganicvapors(consult
Opera),butane.Install1-3feet(30cmto1meter)fromoor.
For all types of sensors avoid drafts, obstacles, aerosols, silicones.
Place sensors in the center of its coverage area as much as
possible.
