General Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
1. The monitor and Relay Module described in
this manual must be installed, operated,
and maintained in strict accordance with
the labels, cautions, warnings, instructions,
and within the limitations stated.
2. The standard and rack mount monitor must
not be installed in outdoor areas or in
locations where explosive concentrations of
combustible gases or vapors might occur in
the atmosphere: Class I, Group A, B, C,
and D areas as defined by the NEC.
Because the monitor is not explosion-proof,
it must be located in non-
hazardous areas.
3. The explosion-proof (XP) Chemgard Monitor
meets Class, I, Division 1, Groups B,
C and D. To prevent ignition of a
hazardous atmosphere, the cover of an XP
monitor must be kept tightly closed when
power is applied. Before removing the
cover for maintenance or calibration,
ensure the surrounding atmosphere is and
remains free of toxic or combustible gases
until the cover is closed.
4. The Chemgard Gas Monitor is designed to
detect one particular gas or vapor at
ambient atmospheric pressures. The unit
will not dete
ct gas at elevated temperatures.
5. High levels of or long exposure to certain
compounds in the tested atmosphere may
contaminate the sensor. In atmospheres
where the system may be exposed to such
materials, perform calibration frequently to
ensure dependable system operation and
accurate indications.
6. Do not paint the Chemgard System. Also, do
not paint near any of the sample line inlets
to ensure paint is not deposited on the
sample inlet fitting of the units. Such paint
deposits would interfere with the sampling
process, whereby a sample of the
a
tmosphere being monitored is drawn into
the Chemgard System.
7. The only absolute method to assure the proper
overall operation of a gas detection
instrument is to check it with a known
concentration of the gas for which it has been
calibrated. Consequently, a calibration check
must be included as part of the installation
and as a routine inspection of the system.
8. Perform periodic leak checks on all the sample
lines and all flow system components and
fittings of t
he Chemgard System.
9. Use only genuine MSA replacement parts
10. Properly vent the exhaust of the Chemgard

when performing any maintenance
procedures provided in this manual. Failure
to do so may seriously impair instrument
performance. Repair or alteration of the
Chemgard System, beyond the scope of
these maintenance instructions or by anyone
other than authorized MSA service
personnel, could cause the product to fail to

Chemgard Infrared Gas Monitor
1-2
The monitor uses infrared sensing technology,
allowing accurate measurement of Gas vapors
with minimum interference from other vapors.
Your Chemgard unit is factory-calibrated for a
specific Gas. It is extremely sensitive. The unit
monitors the signal and can operate three alarm
levels at a software-selectable gas concentration
values. There is also a trouble indication to alert
the operator when something is wrong with
the unit.
The unit monitors only one zone or location, but
your instrument may contain a Multipoint
Sequencer capable of monitoring up to four or
eight different zones or locations. To determine
the number of sampling locations your particular
unit is able to
count the number of inlet ports at the bottom of
the case (FIGURE 1-2, 1-3 or 1-4).

The Internal Multipoint Sequencer Unit:
•
Allows a single Chemgard unit to monitor up
to four or eight areas or locations, if equipped
Chemgard Infrared Gas Monitor
Section 1, General Information
1-5
• Each point is capable of sampling from
remote areas up to 500 feet (152 m)
from the Chemgard unit
• Contains all necessary flow components
(excluding end-of-line filter and sampling line)
to properly sample four or eight areas and
indicate the gas or vapor concentrations.
Terminology
Become familiar with the following terminology.
ZERO- A zero (0) indication on the meter
display usually indicates fresh air (no gas present).
ZEROING- The process of placing a zero gas on
the unit during calibration.
SPAN- Full-scale or up-scale reading on
meter display.
SPANNING-
span gas on the unit during calibration.
SPAN GAS VALUE- The gas concentration that
gives the instrument a full-scale or up-scale value.
This value is printed on the calibration gas
cylinder containing the gas.
FLOW RATE- Volume of gas drawn through the
sample line per minute.
EXHAUST GAS- Sample gas after it passes
through the sensor.
PUMP- The electric motor driven device that
moves the gas sample to the Chemgard Monitor.
ALARMS- The Chemgard System has three alarms
to alert the
concentrations. (Level 1 = Caution,
Level 2 = Warning and Level 3 = Alarm.)
RELATIVE HUMIDITY- The percent of water vapor
saturation in air at a given temperature.
POINT NUMBER- The location or area from which
a gas sample is drawn. Up to four or eight areas,
sequentially numbered from 1 to 8, can
be sampled.
BYPASS- The Sequencer is a look-ahead system;
bypass gas flow is drawn from the next area to
be sampled. This feature reduces the monitor
response
FRESH AIR- Air that has no possibility of
containing gas.
TEMPERATURE EFFECT- The gas response
displayed by the instrument (PPM) can change
±0.3% for each degree (C) that the instrument is
operating above/below the temperature at which
the instrument was last calibrated.
The process of placing a full-scale or
user at specific, user-adjustable gas
time when long sampling lines are used.
Applications
The Chemgard Monitor is factory-calibrated for a
particular gas. When calibrated, the Chemgard
System is used in a wide variety of industrial
applications, such as:
• detection of gases leaking into the atmosphere
• ambient air monitoring for health and
safety purposes
Sensor Selectivity*
The Chemgard Gas Monitor is factory-calibrated
for your particular gas (TABLE 1-3). The system
is highly selective to gases in air; however, the
system also responds to other gases
(interferants). See TABLES 1-2 through 1-22* for
typical cross-sensitivities. Actual cross-sensitivities
vary from instrument to instrument.
If it is not known whether the gas to be detected
is an interferant gas, contact MSA at:
*Typical cross-sensitivities not verified or investigated by UL.

Installation and Set-up
Receiving
Upon receipt of the unit, inspect the shipping
carton for signs of visible damage. Report any
damage to the carrier and note it on the delivery
receipt. The unit must be stored in a dry, secure
place prior to its installation and use. Store unit in
the original shipping carton.
Unpacking the System
To unpack the equipment:
1. Carefully remove the Chemgard Monitor from
its shipping container(s) in order to prevent
damage to sensitive electrical components.
If any damage is found, report it to the
shipper
Do not install or operate a damaged unit. It
may not function properly and may not alert
you to any gas conditions.
2. Search through all packing material and
containers to avoid inadvertently discarding
usable or valuable parts. Report any
shortages immediately to MSA.
The contents of the shipping carton are:
•
•
•
Retain original packing form for re-use in the
event the unit must be returned for service.
3. Using a screwdriver, loosen the two latches
on the Chemgard door (FIGURE 2-1) by
turning 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
4. Open the front door.

5. For proper cooling, allow at least three
inches (76.2 mm) clearance around all
surfaces except for the mounting
surface.
6. Mount unit so the front panel is easily seen
and accessed for service and calibration.
idelines for Locating the
ampling Point(s)
e to the wide variation in equipment room
youts, each situation must be analyzed
vidually. A sampling point may be remotely
cated up to 150 feet (46 m) from the monitor
500 feet [152 m] if 0.180" [4.57 mm] I.D. tubing is
sed) in an area where gas vapors are most
kely to leak or accumulate.
OTE: The 150 and 500 feet (46 and 152 m)
allowances refer to the total sample and
exhaust line length for each sample point.
ctivity in the Room
he expected activities in the room must also be
onsidered when determining the sensing point.
OTE: Select sampling locations which result in the
shortest possible line length in order to
reduce transport time.
sider the following guidelines when selecting
he location for the sampling point(s).
1. Place the end of the sampling line in an area
that provides the instrument with a
representative sample; ventilation Smoke
Tubes (P/N 458480) are useful in
determining air flow patterns in ambient
sampling areas.
2. Properly exhaust the instrument to a safe
area or to outside atmosphere.
3. Ensure the sampling area is free of
particulate matter and condensing
moisture; ensure sample lines will not draw
moisture up into the line.
NOTE: The sample gas must be
adequately filtered before
entering the instrument.
End-of-sample-line filters must
be used with the unit. These
filters must be installed at the
end of all sample lines.
4. Ensure the end of the sampling line is
unobstructed to allow the sample to flow
freely to the instrument.
5. Keep sample lines as short as possible to
Ensure that tubing radii are wide enough to
prevent kinking or bending. Otherwise, an
obstruction may occur, preventing the
instrument from sampling the intended area.
6. DO NOT:
• back-pressure the exhaust line or
• connect it to a vacuum source or
• install a flow meter in the exhaust line.
ALWAYS :
connect an exhaust line
that is vented to a safe area or an
outside atmosphere.
Mounting the Standard Enclosure Unit
The instrument has four mounting lugs
(FIGURE 2-1). Securely mount the unit to a wall
or support, using appropriate hardware.
Do not mount the unit directly to a source
which may affect the operation of the
monitor, resulting in incorrect readings.
