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. If use in safety unit, the analog signal output of the detector 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.

Outline of the Product
1-1. Preface
Thank you for choosing our smart transmitter/gas detector head SD-1D-AS(TYPE GP H)(TYPE NC H).
Please check that the model number of the product you purchased is included in the specifications on this
manual.
This manual explains how to use the detector and its specifications. It contains information required for
using the detector properly. Not only the first-time users but also the users who have already used the
product must read and understand the operating manual to enhance the knowledge and experience before
using the detector.
The detector has two types of TYPE GP H and TYPE NC H. In this manual, instructions of TYPE GP H
(such as an example of LED display) are described as example.
1-2. Purpose of use
The detector is a fixed type gas detector head that detects leak of combustible gases and that performs
the alarm activation when the gas concentration is over the setting value.
This detector is a safety unit, not an analyzer or densitometer which performs quantitative/qualitative
analysis/measurement for gases. Please fully understand the features of the detector before using it,
so that it can be used properly.
The detector detects abnormalities in the air caused by presence of gases or other reasons (leak) with
the built-in gas sensor. The concentrations of detected gases are displayed on the seven-segment
LED.
The detector draws a gas by an aspirator using compressed air to perform gas detection.
The detector outputs gas concentration in 4 – 20 mA.
The detector has HART communication function.

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 arrester).
(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,
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.
