Combustible Gas Detection
• Measures Methane (NG), Propane (LP) or Hydrogen (H2)
• Low level meter capable of displaying from 0-50% LEL EX
Display, Control & Calibration
• Selectable (on/off) digital display, buzzer, fan delay (minutes),
fan minimum run time
• Selectable fan and alarm relay activation
• Factory calibrated. Can also be field calibrated using 10% LEL
Methane, 10% LEL Propane or 10% LEL Hydrogen gas,
regulator and calibration hood
• One screw allows access for calibration
Installation
• Mounts on a standard 4" x 4" electrical box, no cover needed
• 5 A SPDT fan relay controls starters of exhaust fans
• 0.5 A N.O. or N.C. alarm relay connects to warning devices
or control panels
• 4-20 mA current loop
• Optional calibration kits allow the GD-6 to be tested and field
calibrated using Methane, Propane or Hydrogen gas
Other Features
• Supervised system design: internal detector problem
will cause the fan & alarm relay to activate
• ETL Listed to UL 61010-1
Typical Connection to Alarm Control Panel
• GD-6 can be used with 12VDC or 24VDC N.O. (fire) panels
• Alarm panel provides battery backed up power to GD-6
• GD-6 dry contact fan relay can use panel power or fan power.
Check ratings on panel and fan
• Match fan relay contacts to fan size, and coil voltage
to power source
• Alarm control panels are available with many features and can
control other devices such as smoke detectors, fire detectors
and burglar alarms
