(PT2E-160)

Operating Precautions
This detector is a gas detector that detects combustible gases in the air and triggers a gas alarm.
The gas detector is a safety unit, not an analyzer or densitometer which performs quantitative/qualitative
analysis/measurement for gases.
Please fully understand the following points before using it, so that it can be used properly.
1. This detector may be interfered by gases and vapors other than the gas to be detected.
Please note that the alarm may be triggered by interference. In addition, it may be fluctuated by
environmental (temperature, humidity, etc.) changes in the installation site.
2. The alarm must be set within a range where the performance of the detector can be ensured.
In facilities compliant with the High Pressure Gas Safety Act, an alarm setting below our standard
alarm setpoint may trigger a false alarm.
3. This is a safety unit, not a control unit.
The alarm contact output of the detector must be used for an external alarm lamp/buzzer, while the
alarm signal output must be used for an indicator or external recorder.
If these outputs are used to control other units, we shall not be responsible for any malfunctions.
4. The gas sensing part of the gas detection sensor installed in this detector is made of metal porous
sintered alloy permeated with an oxidation catalyst.
If silicon or sulfide compounds are accumulated on the surface of porous sintered alloy, the area of the
gas sensing part becomes smaller, which may results in serious deterioration of its sensitivity.
For safety reasons, do not use the detector under the presence of silicon or sulfide compounds even
though their amount is very small.
5. For maintenance of the detector, it must go through a regular maintenance, including replacement and
adjustment of the regular replacement parts as specified in the operating manual. In addition, because
this is a safety unit, it is recommended that a regular maintenance and a gas calibration are performed
every six months in accordance with the regulations.

NOTE
・Regarding the use, setting, and maintenance of gas detectors, it is recommended to refer to standards that
are appropriate for each country's regulations. Example) IEC 60079-29-2, EN 60079-29-2, NFPA 70.
4-2. Precautions for installation points
Do not install the detector in a place with vibrations or shocks.
The detector consists of sensitive electronic parts. The detector must be installed in a stable place without
vibrations or shocks and it cannot drop.
Do not install the detector in a place exposed to water, oil or chemicals.
When selecting installation points, avoid a place where the detector is exposed to water, oil or chemicals.
Do not install the detector in a place where the range of operating temperatures is exceeded.
The detector must be installed in a stable place where the operating temperature is maintained and do not
change suddenly.
Do not install the detector in a place exposed to direct sunlight or sudden changes in the temperature.
When selecting installation points, avoid a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight or radiant heat
(infrared rays emitted from a high-temperature object), and where the temperature changes suddenly.
Condensation may be formed inside the detector, or the detector cannot adjust to sudden changes in the
temperature.
CAUTION
This is a precision device. Because the detector may not provide the specified performance in some
places (environments), check the environment in the installation point, and then take appropriate actions
if necessary.
Because the detector plays an important role for safety and disaster prevention, as many units of the
detector as needed must be installed in appropriate points.
Because points where gases leak and remain easily are different depending on the types of gases and
the working areas, please decide carefully installation points and the number of units to be installed.

4 How to Use 4-3. Precautions for system designing
- 12 -
Keep the detector (and its cables) away from noise source devices.
When selecting installation points, avoid a place where high-frequency/high-voltage exist.
Do not install the detector in a place where maintenance of the detector cannot be performed or where
handling the detector involves dangers.
Regular maintenance of the detector must be performed.
Do not install the detector in a place where the machinery must be stopped when maintenance is performed
in its inside, where parts of the machinery must be removed to perform maintenance, or where the detector
cannot be removed because tubes or racks prevent access to it. Do not install the detector in a place where
maintenance involves dangers, for example, near a high-voltage cable.
Do not install the detector in machinery which is not properly grounded.
Before installing the detector in machinery, the machinery must be grounded properly.
Do not install the detector in a place where other gases exist around it.
The detector must not be installed in a place where other gases exist around it.
4-3. Precautions for system designing
Using a stable power supply
The external output and alarm contact of the detector may be activated when the power is turned on, when
momentary blackout occurs, or when the system is being stabilized. In such cases, use a UPS, or take
appropriate actions on the receiving side of output signals.
The detector must be provided with the following power supply.
Power supply
voltage 24 VDC±10%: Terminal voltage of the detector
Allowed time of
momentary blackout
Up to 10 milliseconds
(To recover from the momentary
blackout for 10 milliseconds or more,
restart the detector.)
Example of actions
To ensure continuous operation and
activation, install a UPS outside the
detector.
Others
Do not use it with a power supply of
large power load or high-frequency
noise.
Example of actions
Use a line filter to avoid the noise
source if necessary.
Introducing protective measures against lightning
If cables are installed outside the factory/plant, or if internal cables are installed in the same duct as the
cables coming from outside the factory/plant, "lightning" will cause problems. Because lightning acts as a
large emission source while cables act as a receiving antenna, devices connected to the cables may be
damaged.
Lightning cannot be prevented. Cables installed in a metal conduit or under the ground cannot be
completely protected from inductive lightning surge caused by lightning. Although complete elimination of
disasters caused by lightning is impossible, the following protective measures can be taken.
Protection against
lightning
Take appropriate measures in accordance with the importance of the facilities
and the environment.
Provide protection by a lightning arrester (cable safety retainer).
(Although inductive lightning surge can be transmitted through the cable, it is
prevented by installing a lightning arrester before the field devices and central
processing equipment. For information on how to use a lightning arrester,
CAUTION
An unstable power supply and noise may cause malfunctions or false alarms.
The descriptions in this section must be reflected on the designing of a system using the detector.

4 How to Use 4-3. Precautions for system designing
- 13 -
please contact the manufacturer.)
Grounding In addition to lightning, there are more sources of surge noise. To protect units
from these noise sources, the units must be grounded.
* The lightning arrester has a circuit to remove a surge voltage which damages field devices, so that signals
may be attenuated. Before installing a lightning arrester, verify that it works properly.
Proper use of alarm contact
The alarm contact of the detector is used to transmit signals to activate an external buzzer, an alarm lamp or
a rotating lamp. Do not use the detector for controlling purpose (e.g., controlling the shutdown valve.)
The specifications for the alarm contact of the detector are based on the resistant load conditions. If
inductive load is used at the alarm contact, the following errors will occur easily because counter
electromotive force is generated at the contact.
Deposition, defective insulation or defective contact at the relay contact
Damage of any electric parts due to high-voltage generated inside the detector
Abnormal operations by an out-of-control CPU
If load is to be activated, appropriate measures must be taken to stabilize the operation of the detector and
protect the alarm contact referring to the following information.
Relay it with an external relay at a lower voltage of 100 VAC or below (contact amplification). At the
same time, the surge absorbing part SK1 suitable for the specifications must be attached to the external
relay.
In addition, the surge absorbing part SK2 must be attached to the loaded side of the external relay if
necessary.
It may be recommended that the surge absorbing part should be attached to the contact for certain load
conditions. It must be attached to an appropriate position by checking how the load is activated.
CAUTION
In principal, do not activate inductive load at the alarm contact of the detector. (In particular, never use the
inductive load to activate a fluorescent lamp or motor.)
If inductive load is activated, relay it with an external relay (contact amplification). However, because the
coil of an external relay also involves inductive load, select a relay at a lower voltage (100 VAC or below),
and then protect the contact of the detector with an appropriate surge absorbing part, such as a CR circuit.
