QIRF Operation And Maintenance Manual
READ BEFORE OPERATING
All individuals who have or will have the responsibility of using, maintaining, or
servicing this product must carefully read this manual. The product will perform as
designed only if it is used, maintained, and serviced in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
1. General Information
1.1 Principle of Operation
The QIRF Smart Sensor is a microprocessor controlled Refrigerant gas Sensor or
Transmitter using infrared sensing technology. The concentration of Refrigerant is
measured by determining the amount of absorption of light in a specific frequency band.
As most gases have their characteristic spectra in the infrared. Those spectra derive from
the molecule's composition in such a way that no two molecular gases have the same IR
spectrum. IR spectra are the fingerprints of gases, and thus allow gases to be uniquely
identified.
By transmitting a beam of IR radiation through the air, or through any particular gas
volume, and recording how much is transmitted at selected spectral lines, one may decide
which gases are present and how much of each. This is a standard and well-proven
principle, routinely used in laboratory analyses of chemical species, and is also the basis
on which our sensors are made.
An IR detector is essentially a temperature sensor and is, therefore, potentially very
sensitive to changes in the ambient temperature. However, our QIRF smart sensor
modules do it better, faster, and more precisely. The QIRF smart sensors are entirely
electronic with no moving parts, and are built around our unique QT Gas Sample Cell
with constant temperature control integrated with IR Source and IR Detector together.
This makes our IR smart sensors work from -45°C to 65°C without being susceptible to
ambient temperature fluctuations.

QIRF Operation And Maintenance Manual
Comparing with conventional gas detector, gases to be detected are often corrosive and
reactive. With most sensor types, the sensor itself is directly exposed to the gas, often
causing the sensor to drift or die prematurely. The main advantage of IR sensor or
transmitter is that the detector does not directly interact with the gas (or gases) to be
detected. In the QIRF Smart Sensor, the major functional components are protected with
optical parts. In other words, gas molecules interact only with a light beam. The IR
Source and IR Detector can be treated, making them resistant to corrosion, and are
designed such that they are easily removable for maintenance or replacement.

2. Installation
2.1 Sensor Location
Several factors should be considered when selecting locations to install sensors. The
following general suggestions should be considered to assure the detection of the target
gas. Select the most suitable location for each sensor.
1. Air Currents: If there are fans, winds, or others sources of air movement, gases may
tend to rise or collect in certain areas of a facility. The local air currents should be
assessed to aid in selecting the sensor location. In outdoor situations considerations such
as prevailing winds should be accounted for. Air convection can often be more important
in determining gas concentrated areas than factors of Vapor Density.
2. Vapor Density: R11, R22, R123 and R134A are heavier than air. Detecting location
should be 9 - 18 inch (0.23m to 0.46m) above the floor.
3. Gas Emission Sources: As a rule, at least one sensor should be located in close
proximity to each point where a leak is likely to occur. This is particularly important
when a liquid having a low volatility is monitored.
4. Environmental Factors: Designed to rugged outdoor use consider the following in
selecting locations. Install sensors where they will be protected from wind, dust, snow,
water, vibration and shock.

2.3 Gas Sampling
In Diffusion version QIRF, the gas sampling system is composed of a diffusion type gas
sample chamber and two vent holes on the enclosure bottom. The gas flows in and out
through the two vent plugs on the bottom of the QIRF enclosure. See above picture.
In Pump-thru version QIRF, the sampling gas is pumped through the fitting on the bottom
of the QIRF enclosure, and passed through the gas chamber, then exhausted out though
the fitting on the right side of the enclosure. Pump-thru version QIRF doesn’t have
pump inside. For gas sampling and conditioning unit, QEL provides SCS-1 (One channel
sampling and conditioning system).
2.4 Mounting and System Wiring
NOTE: The Diffusion version QIRF should be mounted 1 foot (30cm) from the
floor.
