1Product description
Compared with catalytic sensors, the GD10P and GD10PE has the following advantages:
•Presence of oxygen is not required for correct measurement, which makes the GD10P/PE
suitable even in an inert gas atmosphere.
•No possibility of poisoning of the detector since no chemical reaction occurs, i.e. silicon
vapors and H2S have no effect on the detector or the measurement.
•The gas flow rate has no influence on accuracy.
•There are no saturation effects which could lead to false measurements. Thus, the detector
is capable of measuring gas concentrations up to 100% vol.
•The detector has a continuous self-test function, and reports dirty optics and fault
conditions to the control system.
•Total system costs can be dramatically reduced with the GD10P/PE:
•High reliability results in low test frequency and no calibration costs.
GD10P and GD10PE are sensitive to absorption bands related to carbon - hydrogen bonds.
As a result, all molecules with this type of bond are susceptible to detection. The intensity of this
absorption line is, however, significantly dependent on the molecule under consideration.
In general, the larger the molecule is, the greater the absorption strength will be, and so the better
it is detected.
There is therefore some measurement interference between hydrocarbon vapor compounds since
their absorption bands share some spectral regions.
The level of interference depends on the relative position of these absorption bands, relative to
the working range of the interference filter.
1.1 GD10P Description
The GD10P has been designed with features that provide an effective response to the detection
of gas hazards in a wide range of industrial environments from boiler plant rooms to offshore
petrochemical installations.
These infrared gas detectors differ from all other models, because they use solid-state infrared
sources. The complete opto-mechanical design and construction is so stable that an ultra-fast
speed of response can be achieved whilst providing unparalleled service life and detector
stability, thus saving on maintenance and service costs.
We offer the longest combined detector and IR source warranty on the market.
Supplied with worldwide performance (CSA / IECEx / ATEX / INMETRO) and hazardous area
approvals.

1.2 GD10PE Description
The GD10PE is designed for critical applications involving large volumes of air with high velocity.
Places where you need fast reliable detection of low gas concentrations. GD10PE is in a class of
its own.
These infrared gas detectors differ from all other models, because they utilise silicon based solid-
state infrared sources. The complete opto mechanical design and construction is so stable that an
ultra-fast speed of response can be achieved whilst providing unparalleled service life and
detector stability, thus saving on maintenance and service costs.
We offer the longest combined detector and IR source warranty on the market.
Typical critical applications include the monitoring of air intakes for HVAC systems in living
quarters or generators, and monitoring for potential gas leakages in areas with high temperatures
in gas turbine packages.
The GD10PE is a stable instrument, and with a measuring range of 0 – 20%LEL the sensitivity for
the GD10PE is 5 times higher than standard point detectors.
The GD10PE is designed for installation in air ducts and for mounting through walls and
bulkheads in places such as pump rooms, but may also be used as a standalone point detector
in places where the properties of the GD10PE is required, such as low ppm level detection.
A weather protection accessory is used for exposed detector installations.
•Duct mounted close to the intake.
•Directly mounted on an air intake.
•General outdoor locations.
The detection concept is based on the measurement of infrared radiation passing through a
volume of gas.
Solid state IR-source
The silicon-based IR-source used in the GD10PE is insensitive to shock and vibration, and does
not need to be replaced during the detector service life.
No false gas alarms
A false alarm, resulting in a production shutdown is extremely expensive. The dual wavelength,
dual path concept, together with the electronic design, guarantees that there are no false gas
alarms.
No field recalibration
Field recalibration of gas detectors is time consuming (cost) and introduces a risk of mistakes
(safety). The GD10PE stays within the specifications for its service lifetime without recalibration.
The response time is among the fastest on the market, giving real world figures. We measure the
response from the actual gas release, taking delays of the weather protection, initial detection,
etc. into account. Trip levels down to 4%LEL combined with a response time in the range of 1
second (option) should cover even the most demanding requirements.

4Installation
Installation shall be in accordance with the standards in force, classification of
the zone, and in conformity with standard EN/IEC 60079-14, the editions in
force, or with other national and/or local standards.
4.1 Positioning
Both GD10P and GD10PE detectors should be mounted where gas leakage is most likely to
occur. To detect methane, which is lighter than air, inside an enclosed area the detector should
be mounted high in the area to be protected or immediately above potential leakage sites.
To detect gases heavier than air, e.g. propane, the detector should be mounted below the
potential leakage site.
The detector should be mounted in a place where maintenance, i.e. cleaning of the optics, is
easily performed.
The detector may be mounted in areas where no oxygen is present.
The detector may be mounted in areas with strong airflow
The detector can be mounted where it could be drenched by water.
However, immersion has its limits. It assumes that the cable glands have been correctly mounted.
Furthermore, the detector will trigger an optical fault. After immersion, the detector will require
cleaning because of the possible traces caused by immersion on the optical parts.
Finally, it is also important to check that the gas inlet tube is properly covered so that there is
nothing getting inside.
Please note that the 4 holes in each end of the GD10PE weather protection are for water
drainage, and should not be blocked.
Air velocity limits: none 15

Taking into account the principle of detection, a pressure variation will proportionally influence the measurement compared to
the calibration one (1013HPa).

4.2 GD10P Fixing
The detector is mounted by means of a projecting mounting leg using two M8 screws and
washers, or by means of the Duct Mounting Flange Kit (4 x M8 screws). The detector should
preferably be mounted so that the longitudinal axis of the detector is horizontal. This will prevent
accumulation of water and dust on the optics. The Weather Protection must always be oriented
correctly for optimal performance.
Figure 1: GD10P mounting
4.3 GD10P Weather Protection
When the GD10P is mounted outdoors, the flow direction indicator must poin t
upwards
See “Flow Direction Indicator” in Figure 2 below. Orientation of the Weather Protection is
performed as follows:
•Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the Weather Protection
•Rotate the Weather Protection to correct position
•Tighten the screw with a torque of max. 0.5 Nm
