1.0 GENERAL
This device is for monitoring and communicating gas concentration levels for data collection or
record keeping and does not provide alarm signals.
Misuse of this device may cause explosion and/or personal injury. These instructions must be
thoroughly read and understood prior to installation of the device.
The end-user is responsible for maintaining the device in full, operational condition.
To ensure proper ingress protection, the front and rear covers must be installed, and fully bot-
tomed out against the base enclosure (i.e., metal-to-metal contact). It is recommended to use a
wrench or any tool across the cover lugs to tighten the covers down.
Exposure to toxic gas may result in loss of consciousness or death. See Annex 1 for toxic
gas sensor details.
Combustible gas accumulation in closed areas may cause explosion, and result in loss of
consciousness or death. See Annex 1 for combustible gas sensor details.
Avoid dropping the device as loosening of the threaded ame-proof joints or permanent damage
may occur.
New sensors must be calibrated after installation (see Section 3.2).
When not in use, the device should be stored in a clean, dry area and within the temperature
range listed within the device’s environmental specications.
1.1 Device Overview
The device is an explosion-proof and intrinsically safe, WirelessHART point gas detector used for the de-
tection and monitoring of harmful gases in air, in order to help maintain a safe environment. A eld-inter-
changeable gas sensor module (see Figure 1) provides detection of toxic or combustible gas. Gas measure-
ment readings are communicated along with network and battery status (see Figure 2) via a local, digital
display, and WirelessHART 7.2 communication protocol. The device seamlessly integrates with existing
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) or asset management (AMS) systems.
Sensor specications are available online or in Annex 1 which can be downloaded from www.ueonline.com/
