3.3 Electrical installation
- Carry out electrical installation in compliance with the standards in force and zone classification:
EN60079-14, EN60079-17, EN50281 -1-2 (issue in force) or other national standards.
- To ensure that the detector operates correctly, the cable resistance must remain within the limits
specified in the technical characteristics table.
- Read Chapter 7.
- Power supply voltage at sensor terminals: 16 to 30 VDC.
3.3.1. OLCT IR "E" Version
- Remove the protective cover (see Figure 02, Item 4) to gain access to the connection terminals.
- Connect the 3 active wires as per Figure 05.
- Refit the protective cover correctly
- Connect the sensor body to the earth (Fig. 01).
3.3.2. OLCT IR M25 or other:
Once the sensor has been mechanically fastened to a connection system, connect the 4 active wires to the
system terminal block, checking polarity as per Figure 08 and ensuring that the sensor body is earthed via the earth
screw (Figure 01).
Wire 4 is only used to connect an OLCT60 or OLCT80.

- Check that connection and fastening have been carried out correctly.
- Disable the alarms of the facility to prevent any unintentional triggering during the operation.
- Switch on the power supply and leave to stabilise for 2 to 3 minutes.
- During the first minute of warming up, the detector delivers a current of 2 mA.
- Check the zero (4 mA) and response to the gas.
- If necessary, adjust the zero and sensitivity.
Note: After this, the detector runs sel f tests (permanent checking of optical beam transmission).

Caution: The actions described in this paragraph may affect the reliability of detection and must only be carried
out by authorised and trained personnel.
Caution: The body of the sensor contains inert gas and must never be opened.
5.1. Curative maintenance
The OLCTIR has been designed for minimum maintenance.
The only maintenance required is to visually inspect the gas detection inlets.
The optical surfaces should only be cleaned if there is an optical disturbance (current output of 1.5 mA) or
signal drift:
- Remove the protective cover (Figure 02, Item 1)
- Clean the optical surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol
- Clean the optional insect screen if fitted
- Leave to dry
- Refit the protective cover, checking that the arrow points upwards.
