Chapter 1 - Overview
1.1 Introduction
The DOD Technologies ChemLogic 1 (CL1) continuously monitors a single location
(called a point) for toxic and corrosive gas. It responds to gas that exceed a programmed
alarm level by:
• Triggering visual alarms on the display that warn of high or low concentrations
• Triggering relays or activating analog outputs to external devices
• Displaying the gas type and gas concentration
• Recording the alarm information and storing it to removable storage.
The CL1 triggers relays for two levels of gas concentrations. These programmable limits
are factory-set at 1 TLV and 2 TLV for their respective gases.
The point may be up to 150feet (45 m) from the CL1 location depending on the type of
gas being monitored. This allows operators to monitor the gas concentration in an area
removed from the location where gas may actually be leaking.
The CL1 provides a fast response to a wide range of gases. It was designed for maximum
uptime, so routine maintenance and service can be performed quickly and easily.
The CL1 uses DOD Technologies ChemLogic paper tape technology for fast and
accurate gas detection.
1.2 Sampling and Monitoring
The system draws sample flow through the inlet on the bottom of the unit and across the
ChemLogic tape. The gas is then exhausted through a port on the side of the CL1.
1.3 Flow Connections
Flow connections consist of “quick-connect” ports on the bottom and side of the CL1.
There is one inlet and one exhaust outlet.
1.4 Electrical Connections
The unit is powered with a standard AC Power plug. A single 14 pin connector on the side of
the CL1 provides all electrical connections for the outputs and remote reset.
1.5 Theory of operation
The sample flow is diverted across the ChemLogic Tape. The CHEMLOGIC 1 uses an
advanced optical detection system to measure the light level reflected from the ChemLogic
tape. As the target gas is detected, the color of the of the ChemLogic tape changes. This
color change results in a loss of reflected light across the ChemLogic tape. This loss of
reflected light is detected by the advanced optics system in the CHEMLOGIC 1. The
CHEMLOGIC 1 will then report an appropriate gas concentration reading and/or a gas alarm.

2.1.1 Maintenance door
The maintenance door allows easy access to the ChemLogic tape and the display/keypad. The
latches on the side of the unit are used to open & close/secure the door.
IMPORTANT: The maintenance door should remain closed and latched except when
changing the ChemLogic tape.
2.1.2 Keypad & Display
The CL1 uses a two color LCD display with a 20 button keypad including 4 programmable
“soft keys”. See chapter 5 for a complete description on the use of the keypad and display.
2.1.3 ChemLogic tape and Take-up Reel
ChemLogic paper tapes are accessed by opening the maintenance door. Refer to chapter 6
regarding tape installation/replacement.
2.1.4 Gas Inlet/Exhaust
The gas being monitored flows through the inlet on the bottom of the unit, across the paper
tape and out the exhaust port on the side of the CL1. Sample tubing and exhaust use a quick
connection system for simple installation. See section 3.3 for information on connecting the
sample and exhaust tubing.

. IMPORTANT:
DANGER:
End of line filters are required. See section 6.4
2.1.5 A/C Power & Switch
A/C power is connected on the left side panel with a standard power cord. The on/off power
switch is located adjacent to the power cord connection.
2.1.6 14 Pin I/O Connector
The connector on the side of the unit connects to alarm relays, fault relays, 4-20ma output, and
the remote reset input.
2.2 Maintenance area
The maintenance area allows easy access for changing ChemLogic tape in the CL1. Figure
2.2 shows the internal layout with the access panel open. See section 6.3 for tape installation.
Figure 2.2
2.3 Internal Layout – Service area
Internal access to the CL1 for service uses the latches located on the right side of the front
panel. Figure 2.3 shows the internal layout of the CL1 with the service door open.
Turn off the unit and disconnect A/C power to the unit before
opening the Service Door.
The door should be opened by trained service personnel (See section 6.2)

The CL1 uses a SD card to store historical information including concentration logging, event
history, configuration information, and TWA data. SD cards may be purchased through DOD
Technologies – see Appendix A.

Chapter 3 - Installation
3.1 Selecting a location
The CL1 should be placed in a location as central as possible to the locations being monitored
while considering the following restrictions:
♦ The maximum sample line length is 150 ft. for all gases other than Diisocyanates.
♦ Diisocyanates have a 6” maximum sample line
♦ Using the shortest possible sample line length will reduce transport times and increase
the response time of the CL1.
♦ A/C power is required to the unit.
♦ Locate near proper ventilation keeping in mind the maximum length of the exhaust
tubing is 25ft.
♦ The CL1 requires stable temperature and humidity levels within range to operate
properly.
3.2 Mounting
Refer to figure 3.1 for dimensional requirements for wall mount. Be sure the CL1 is properly
secured to the wall.

3.3 Sample Tubing
Sample tubing connects to the CL1 through the inlet on the bottom of the unit. (see Figure
3.2). Sample tubing must be FEP 1/4 OD x 1/8 ID (150 ft max length – 6” for diisocyanates)
which may be purchased from DOD Technologies, INC (See Appendix A).
on bottom
of CL1
Figure 3.2
Fully depress the sample tube into fitting past the O-Ring when attaching. To detach the tube,
push on the collet and pull the tubing out.
Sample tubing used with the CL1 must be 1/4”OD x 1/8” ID FEP.
Use of any other tubing may damage the CL1 and/or cause inaccurate gas
concentration readings.
3.3.2 End of line particulate filters
An end of line particulate filter must be used on all gasses except Diisocyanates to prevent loss
of concentration. Filters require regular maintenance – see chapter 6.
The CL1 requires filtration to prevent dust accumulation in tubing
and internal damage to the unit. Dust that collects in the tubing or the internal system
may cause sample loss and inaccurate gas concentration readings.
End of line particulate filters may be purchased from DOD technologies (see appendix A)
3.4 Exhaust tubing
The exhaust line must be ¼”OD x 3/16” ID tubing with a maximum length of 25ft.
Polyethylene is recommended although polypropylene or Teflon may also be used. Exhaust
tubing may be purchased from DOD technologies (see appendix A)
3.5 A/C Power
A 6ft power cord is included – DO NOT use extension cords with the CL1. Longer cords are
available from most electrical supply stores.
3.6 Output Wiring
The output relays for Alarm Level 1 and System Fault are rated at 6 amp maximum.
The 4-20ma output is adjustable within the CL1 to increase precision. When not in analysis
the CL1 will output the 2ma calibrated value. There is a maximum of 500 ohm load
impedance on the 4-20ma circuit.
