General lnformation
GASOLINE FUME DETECTORS ARE MEANT TO SERVE AS A SUPPLEMENTAL WARNING SYSTEM. IT
IS NOT MEANTTO REPLACE STANDARD SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT
AROUND EXPLOSIVE GASES.
The G-18-R, G-1C-R, and G-28-R Gasoline Fume Detectors are an effective means to monitor
gasoline fumes in an engine compartments, leaking fuel tanks, or fumes from un-burnt
hydrocarbons emitted from faulty exhaust systems. The systems use sensors, located in a place of
interest, and a central display unitthat notifiesyou ofthe state ofthe system.

Operation of Xintex Gasoline Fume Detector(s)
There are 3 LEDs located on the Display unit for each channel on the system. The Green LED,
located at the top, indicates that the system is operational. The Yellow LED, located in the center,
indicates that there is a Fault in the system. This is to notify the user to check the connections
andwirerunsofthesensors. Theremaybeabreakinthewiringoradisconnectedsensoronthat
channel. The Red LED, located at the bottom, indicates a fume buildup of 20% of the LEL (Lower
Explosive Limit) which is considered an alarm. The alarm horn will sound when the Red LED is
illuminated.
GlBR-NO1-D
GlCR-NO1-D
The alarm status will continue as long as the fume level remains at an elevated level. The alarm
horn may be silenced by pressing the "Check/Reset" button. The alarm will reactivate after 30
seconds as long as the Detector remains in alarm status. The problem should never be considered
corrected as long as the Red LED is illuminated.

lnsta llation
lnstallins the Display Unit (G1BR-N01-D/G1CR-NO1-D or G2BS-N01-D)
The Display Unit should be located at the instrument panel, so that the visible and
audible indicators may be easily observed.
Drill a 2-L/L6" hole to accommodate the G1BR-N01-D/G1CR-N01-D Display Unit.
Drill a 2-L/8" hole to accommodate the G2BS-NO1-D Display Unit.

Routine Sensor Cable(s) (FS-XO1 CABLE XX')
A 20 FT sensor cable is provided for each Gasoline Fume sensor. The sensor cables
should be routed starting at the Display unit, then to the pre-determined location of the
Gasoline Fume sensor. connect to the Display unit using the attached quick-disconnect
connectors. Take care not to pinch, break, or cut the Sensor cable or put too much
stress on the connectors while routing the cable. secure the sensor cable with the
appropriate hardware for the application.

lnstallation Continued
Electrical Connections (G1BR-N01-D/G1CR-N01-D or G2BS-N01-D)
The Display Unit operates on 9-30 VDC. A Red and a Black 16 GA wire are provided for
connecting to the power source. Connect the Red wire to Power (+) with an inline 1.0
Amp fuse. Connect the Black wire to Ground (-).
Testing the System Operation
The Gasoline Fume Detectors can be tested by pressing the "Check/Reset" button on the face of
the Display Unit. The Display Unit will cycle through the LEDs and the alarm horn will activate
while the LEDs cycle.
Unplug the Gasoline Fume Sensor from each channel of the Detection System. The Yellow "Fault"
LEDshouldilluminate. lftheYellowLEDdoesnotilluminate,removeDisplayUnitandreturn
direct to manufacturer following the instructions at the back of this manual'
Testing the Gasoline Fume Sensors
DO NOT USE A GASOLINE SOAKED RAG OR A PARTIALLY FULL CONTAINER OF GASOLINE TO TEST A
SENSOR. THE RAW GASOLINE COULD IGNITE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.
TesttheSensorsbyholdinganunlitButanelightertothesensor. Withinafewseconds,theRed
"Danger" LED should illuminate and the alarm horn will sound. Remove the lighterfrom the
Sensor and mute the alarm horn. After approximately one minute, the Red LED will shut off.
Maintenance
The system should be tested periodically in the fashicn described in the previous sections. Due to
the harsh environmental conditions in marine applications, it is recommended to replace the
Gasoline Fume Sensors every 3-4 years.

IMPROPER CONNECTIONS WILL DAMAGE THE DISPLAY UNIT AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.

ln the Event of an Alarm
lmmediately have all passengers and crew exit the passenger compartment and vessel if possible.
Ventilate the space being monitored.
Carefully check all fuel lines and other potential sources of gasoline fume leaks. lf leaks are
identified, shut off fuel supply and make any necessary repairs.
