Installation Location Sensor Operation Characteristics
Refrigerants are significantly heavier than air. Therefore in order for the sensor to
operate as effective as possible the refrigerant detector must be positioned at a low
level inside the room, where the indoor air conditioning unit is fitted. See diagram
showing recommend installation guidelines.
The unit is designed to fit on the surface or over a standard single socket recessed
box. The refrigerant detector PCB can be accommodated inside a standard single
gang electrical back box (locally procured). The minimum depth of the back box is
dependent on the style of face plate, however all designs will fit inside a 47mm deep
enclosure , which can be flush mounted into the wall.
Distance – The detector is to be mounted a maximum of 10m from the indoor unit.
Low Level – As HFC refrigerants are heavier than air, the TCB-LDS should be
mounted as close as practical to floor level
(150mm ~ 250mm above floor level), preferably
directly below the air conditioning unit.
Accessible for Maintenance - The TCB-LDS should be mounted in a position where
it can be easily accessed for maintenance and repairs.
Minimize Damage - Mount the sensor in a position that minimizes the risk of
mechanical damage to the unit.
Minimize false alarms - Semi-conductor sensors can be ‘poisoned’ by contaminants
and after exposure may take considerable time to recover. Solvent paints and silicon
mastic are typical contaminants and exposure from these substances must be
avoided.
Ensure leaks can be detected – Do not mount the sensor next to doors or windows,
where fresh air may influence readings.

Product Overview Mounting Method Electrical Connections
The leak detector is designed to shut down the air-conditioner in the event of a discharge of refrigerant into the detected space. In the event of the
leak detector operating there is visual and audible indication. The visual indication is via a flashing LED and the audible indication is via buzzer.
In accordance with BS EN 378:2016 The leak detector MUST be connected too a separate power supply breaker than that of the indoor unit (FCU).
The connection between sensor and indoor unit is completed via CN80 port on the indoor PCB
In the event of a leak the indoor unit will stop and a L30 fault code will be generated. This fault code will be displayed on the local remote controller
and the network based controls connected.
The TCB-LDS1/2 is intended to be mounted within a single gang back
box, wall box. A minimum depth of 45mm is required to suite all
variants.
Usage Note:
In accordance with BS
EN 378:2016 the leak
detector MUST be
connected to a separate
power supply breaker
than that of the indoor
unit (FCU).
