Important Notices on Safety
<Definition of DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE>
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury or serious damage to the product. The use of this symbol is to be limited to the most extreme situation. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury on the human body or object.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or some damage on the human body or objects. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. This means "ADVICE" at operation.
<Danger cases>
DANGER
This is not an explosion-proof device. You must not use it to detect gases exceeding the lower limit of explosion.
<Warning cases>
WARNING
Power Supply
Before turning on the detector, always check whether the voltage is properly applied. Do not use an unstable power supply because it may cause malfunctions.
Need of grounding circuit
Do not cut the grounding circuit or disconnect the wire from the grounding terminal.
Defects in protective functions
Before starting the detector, check the protective functions for defects. When seeming defects are found in the protective functions, such as protective grounding, do not start the detector.
External connection
Before connecting the detector to external equipments or external control circuit, securely connect it to a protective grounding circuit.
Tubing
The detector is designed to suck gases around it under the atmospheric pressure. If excessive pressure is applied to the sampling inlet and outlet (GAS IN, GAS OUT) of the detector, detected gases which may be leaked from its inside pose dangers. Be sure that excessive pressure is not applied to the detector when it is used. Detected gases must be exhausted from the detected gas exhausting outlet (GAS OUT) on the bottom of the detector to which an exhaust tube is connected, to a point regarded as a safe place.
Handling the sensor unit
Do not disassemble the electrochemical type sensor unit (ESU) or galvanic cell type sensor unit (OSU) because they contain electrolyte. Electrolyte may cause severe skin burns if it contacts skin, while it may cause blindness if its contacts eyes. If electrolyte is adhered on you clothes, that part on your clothes is discolored or its material is decomposed. If contact occurs, rinse the area immediately with a large quantity of water.
Zero adjustment (AIR Adjustment) in the atmosphere
When zero adjustment (AIR Adjustment for oxygen deficiency alarm) is performed in the atmosphere, check the atmosphere for freshness before beginning the adjustment. If other gases exist, the adjustment cannot be performed properly, thus leading to dangers when the gas leaks.
Operation in a gas
Do not operate the detector in a place where flammable/explosive gases or vapors are present. Operating the detector in such an environment will lead to extreme dangers.
Response to a gas alarm
Issuance of a gas alarm indicates that there are extreme dangers. Take proper actions based on your judgment.

Important Notices on Safety
<Precautions>
CAUTION
Do not use a transceiver (walkie-talkie) near the detector.
Radio wave from a transceiver near the detector or its cables may disturb commands. when using a transceiver, it must be used in a place where it disturbs nothing.
To restart the detector, you must wait five seconds more before doing it.
Restarting the detector within five seconds may cause errors.
Verify that the reading on the flow rate indicator corresponds to the specified flow rate before using the detector.
If it does not correspond to the specified flow rate, gas detection cannot be performed properly. Check whether the flow rate is unstable or lost.
Attach the dust filter before using the detector.
Before using the detector, attach the specified filter to prevent disturbances by possible gas adsorption or air dust. A dust filter to be used is varies depending on the gas to be detected. For more information on dust filters, please contact our sales department.
Observe the operating restrictions to prevent condensation inside the tube.
Condensation formed inside the tube causes clogging or gas adsorption, which disturb accurate gas detection. Thus, condensation must be avoided. In addition to the installation environment, carefully monitor the temperature/humidity of the sampling point to prevent condensation inside the tube. In particular, when detecting a gas which is solved into water and corrodes contacted materials, such as a strong acid gas, the gas is undetectable and furthermore may corrode internal parts. Please observe the operating restrictions.
Do not use the external output of the detector to control other devices.
This is not a control device. You are not allowed to use its external output to control other devices.
Do not disassemble/modify the detector, or change the settings if not necessary.
Disassembling/Modifying the detector will invalidate the guarantee of the performance. Changing the settings without understanding the specifications may cause alarm malfunctions. Please use the detector properly in accordance with the operating manual.
Do not forget to perform a regular maintenance.
Since this is a safety device, a regular maintenance must be performed to ensure its safety. Continuing to use the detector without performing a maintenance will compromise the sensitivity of the sensor, thus resulting in inaccurate gas detection.

Not only the first-time users but also the users who have already used the product must follow the operating precautions. Ignoring the precautions may damage the detector, resulting in inaccurate gas detection.
CAUTION
After you received the detector, start using the detector within the specified operation start limit of the sensor unit.
<Precautions for installation sites>
CAUTION
This is a precision instrument. Because the detector may not provide the specified performance in some places (environments), check the environment in the installation site, and then take appropriate actions if necessary.
Because the detector plays an important role for safety and disaster prevention, you must install as many units of the detector as needed in appropriate points.
Because points where gases leak and remain easily are different depending on the types of gases and the working areas, please decide carefully installation sites and the number of units to be installed.
Do not install the detector in a place with vibrations or shocks.
The detector consists of sensitive electronic parts. The detector must be installed in a stable place without vibrations or shocks and it cannot drop.
Do not install the detector in a place exposed to water, oil or chemicals.
When you select installation sites, avoid a place where the detector is exposed to water, oil or chemicals.
Do not install the detector in a place where the temperature drops below 0ºC or rises over 40ºC.

GD-70D - 16 -
Page 17
2 Installation 2-1. Requirements
Do not install the detector in a place exposed to direct sunlight or sudden changes in the temperature.
When you select installation sites, avoid a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight or radiant heat (infrared rays emitted from a high-temperature object), and where the temperature changes suddenly. Condensation may be formed inside the detector, or the detector cannot adjust to sudden changes in the temperature.
Keep the detector (and its cables) away from noise source devices.
When you select installation points, avoid a place where high-frequency/high-voltage exist.
Do not install the detector in a place where maintenance of the detector cannot be performed or where handling the detector involves dangers.
Regular maintenance of the detector must be performed. Do not install the detector in a place where the equipment must be stopped when maintenance is performed in its inside, where parts of the equipment must be removed to perform maintenance, or where the detector cannot be removed because tubes or racks prevent access to it. Do not install the detector in a place where maintenance involves dangers, for example, near a high-voltage cable.
Do not install the detector in equipment which is not properly grounded.
Before installing the detector in equipment, the equipment must be grounded properly.
Do not install the detector in a place where other gases exist around it.
The detector must not be installed in a place where other gases exist around it.
<Precautions for system designing>
CAUTION
An unstable power supply and noise may cause malfunctions or false alarms.
The descriptions in this section must be reflected on the designing of a system using the detector.
Using a stable power supply
The external output and alarm contact of the detector may be activated when the power is turned on, when momentary blackout occurs, or when the system is being stabilized. In such cases, use a safety power supply, or take appropriate actions on the receiving side. The detector must be provided with the following power supply.
Power supply voltage
Allowed time of momentary blackout
Others
24 VDC Up to 10 millisecond (To recover from the momentary blackout for 10 millisecond or more, restart the detector.) Do not use it with a power supply of large power load or high-frequency noise.
±10% (the terminal voltage of the detector)
Example of actions
To ensure continuous operation and activation, install a protective power supply outside the detector.
Example of actions
Use a line filter to avoid the noise source if necessary.

2 Installation 2-1. Requirements
Introducing protective measures against lightning
If cables are installed outside the factory/plant, or if internal cables are installed in the same duct as the cables coming from outside the factory/plant, "lightning" will cause problems. Because lightning acts as a large emission source while cables act as a receiving antenna, devices connected to the cables may be damaged. Lightning cannot be prevented. Cables installed in a metal conduit or under the ground cannot be completely protected from inductive lightning surge caused by lightning. Although complete elimination of disasters caused by lightning is impossible, the following protective measures can be taken.
Protection against lightning
Grounding In addition to lightning, there are more sources of surge noise. To protect devices from
* The lightning arrester has a circuit to remove a surge voltage which damages field devices, so that
signals may be attenuated. Before installing a lightning arrester, verify that it works properly.
Take appropriate measures in accordance with the importance of the facilities and the environment.
Connect the transmission signal route by using optical fiber.
Provide protection by a lightning arrester (cable safety retainer).
(Although inductive lightning surge can be transmitted through the cable, it is prevented by installing a lightning arrester before the field devices and central processing equipment. For information on how to use a lightning arrester, please contact the manufacturer.)
these noise sources, the devices must be grounded.
Proper use of alarm contact
The alarm contact of the detector is used to transmit signals to activate an external buzzer, alarm lamp or rotating lamp. Do not use the detector for controlling purpose (e.g., controlling the shutdown valve).
CAUTION
The b contact (break contact) under de-energized state may be opened momentarily by a physical shock, such as external force.
When the b contact is selected for the alarm contact, take appropriate actions to prepare for a momentary activation, for example, add signal delay operation (approximately one second) to the receiving side of the b contact.
The specifications for the alarm contact of the detector are based on the resistant load conditions. If inductive load is used at the alarm contact, the following errors will occur easily because counter electromotive force is generated at the contact.
Deposition, defective insulation or defective contact at the relay contact
Damage of any electric parts due to high-voltage generated inside the detector
Abnormal operations by an out-of-control CPU
CAUTION
In principal, do not activate inductive load at the alarm contact of the detector. (In particular, never use the inductive load to activate a fluorescent lamp or motor.)
If inductive load is activated, relay it with an external relay (contact amplification). However, because the coil of an external relay also involves inductive load, select a relay at a lower voltage (100 VAC or below), and then protect the contact of the detector with an appropriate surge absorbing part, such as
If load is to be activated, appropriate measures must be taken to stabilize the operation of the detector and protect the alarm contact referring to the following information.
Relay it with an external relay at a lower voltage of 100 VAC or below (contact amplification). At the same time, the surge absorbing part SK1 suitable for the specifications must be attached to the external relay.
In addition, the surge absorbing part SK2 must be attached to the loaded side of the external relay if necessary.
It may be recommended that the surge absorbing part should be attached to the contact for certain load conditions. It must be attached to an appropriate position by checking how the load is activated.

<How to tube>
NOTE
To use the pyrolyzer unit (PLU-70), also refer to the individual operating manual.
The detector has a Rc1/4 thread inside of the sampling inlet/outlet (GAS IN, GAS OUT), to which "polypropylene" unions are normally attached. Because their material is varies depending on the gas to be used, please specify the gas. The compatible tube is a Teflon tube of φ6 (OD) - φ4 (ID). The tube must be installed with the supplied inners and sleeves attached to prevent a leak. When the tube is cut, its cut point has a smaller inner diameter. Use an abrasive material to expand the cut point to the inner diameter. To remove cut-dust remaining inside of the tube, blow compressed air into the tube before connecting it to the detector. Some sample gases have highly adsorptive or corrosive features. Select the tube material taking into account of these precautions. The suction flow rate of the detector itself is approximately 0.5 L/min under the operating temperatures. When a gas is sucked from a distant point, please consult us on the tube length.
union
inner
sleeve
tube
WARNING
The detector is designed to suck gases around it under the atmospheric pressure. If excessive pressure is applied to the sampling inlet and outlet (GAS IN, GAS OUT) of the detector, detected gases may be leaked from its inside, thus leading to dangers. Be sure that excessive pressure is not applied to the detector while used.
Detected gases must be exhausted from the detected gas exhausting outlet (GAS OUT) on the bottom of the detector to which an exhaust tube is connected, to a point regarded as a safe place.
CAUTION
The longer the tube of the GAS IN is, the longer it takes for a gas to reach the detector. Because some gases have a highly adsorptive feature for the tube, resulting in a slow response and a lower reading than the actual value, the length of the GAS IN tube must be minimized.
When the humidity in the sampling point is high, condensation may be formed inside of the tube. Make sure to avoid condensation when using a gas which is solved into water and corrodes contacted materials, such as a strong acid gas, because it is undetectable and furthermore may corrode internal parts. Also avoid an excessive U-shaped or V-shaped tube piping.
Determine the inlet for the sample gas, considering the air flow of the sample gas line and the gas generating process.
To remove dust, do not forget to attach the supplied dust filter in the middle of the tube.
You need to decide the length and material of the tube. Please contact our sales department for
more information.

2-4. Relocate
When the detector is relocated, select a new place in accordance with "Precautions for installation site" and "2-2. How to install". For information on wiring and tubing, see "2-3. How to wire" and "How to tube". The unpowered time must be minimized when the detector is relocated.
CAUTION
When you use a relocated or stopped/stored detector again, do not forget to perform a gas calibration. For information on readjustment including gas calibration, please contact our sales department.
2-5. Disposal
A used sensor unit must be returned to us. Please return the sensor unit to our sales department.
If liquid is leaked from the electrochemical type sensor unit (ESU) or galvanic cell type sensor unit (OSU),
do not touch the liquid. The sensor unit must be put into a plastic bag to prevent leaking. If liquid is leaked from the sensor of the detector, turn "off" the power and contact our sales department immediately.
Because the pyrolysis-particle type sensor unit (SSU) contains a small amount of radioactive materials, it must be transported appropriately (as a L-type package). When the sensor unit is returned to us, it must be handled by a transportation company which can handle L-type packages.
When the detector is disposed of, it must be treated properly as an industrial waste in accordance with the local regulations.
WARNING
Do not disassemble the electrochemical type sensor unit (ESU) or the galvanic cell type sensor unit (OSU) because they contain electrolyte. Electrolyte may cause severe skin burns if it contacts skin, while it may cause blindness if its contacts eyes. If electrolyte is adhered on you clothes, that part on your clothes is discolored or its material is decomposed. If contact occurs, rinse the area immediately with a large quantity of water.
The pyrolysis-particle type sensor unit (SSU) must be returned to us in accordance with its "Safety Manual". We will properly dispose of it. Ignoring the "Safety Manual" will result in legal penalties.

How to Operate
3-1. Preparation for start-up
Before connecting a power supply, read and understand the following precautions. Ignoring these precautions may cause an electric shock or damage the detector.
Connect the detector to a grounding circuit.
Check whether the wiring is connected to external circuit properly.
Check whether the power supply voltage is compliant with the specification.
Because the external contact may be activated during the adjustment, take measures to prevent an
activated contact from having influences on external circuits.
Verify that there is no clogging or leak in the connected tube. (If the connected tube is clogged, pressure is applied to the sensor unit, causing errors and malfunctions. Please note that the reading is fluctuated in the galvanic cell type, which may result in a false alarm.)
Verify that the filter is attached correctly. (The filter is specified based on the gas to be detected.)
3-2. How to start the detector
Before turning on the power switch, check whether the detector is installed properly.
The power switch is protected by a cover to prevent access to it in a normal time. To turn ON/OFF the power switch, rotate the switch cover. (Return the switch cover to the original position after the switching is completed.)
Turn ON the power switch.
After the detector completes the start-up, it enters the detection
mode.

WARNING
When Oxygen (OSU) is selected, approximately AIR (normal oxygen concentration) (20.9 vol%) is output after the detector is started in the atmosphere. For a specification where an alarm is triggered by the AIR (normal oxygen concentration) output (e.g., 0 - 5 vol%), be careful of an alarm issue after the detector is started.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the detector during the initial clear. The detector is reading the sensor memory during the initial clear.
If a new sensor unit is installed or the sensor unit is replaced after the detector is started, the sensor unit must be warmed up for a specified period which is determined depending on the type of the sensor unit. When the semiconductor type sensor unit (SGU) is selected, the suggested warm-up completion time is displayed in the maintenance mode. During the warm-up, the alarm activation and output signals are unstable. Provide a prior notification to the related sections so that they can prepare for false abnormalities.
Because the pyrolyzer unit (PLU-70) must be warmed up for one hour, please warm it up with the detector.
After the warm-up is completed, verify that the reading on the flow rate indicator corresponds to the specified flow rate, and then perform a gas calibration.

3-3. How to exit
To turn off the detector, open the switch cover on the bottom of the main unit, and turn "OFF" the power switch. Then, turn off the power supply (24 VDC) to the detector.
WARNING
When the detector is turned off, an alarm may be activated on the upper (central) system. Before turning off the detector, the inhibit (point skip) on the upper (central) system must be activated. Decide whether the power can be turned off by checking the operation of the devices connected to the external output or external contact output terminal of the detector.
If the alarm contact is energized (option), it is activated when the detector is turned "OFF".
If the gas to be detected has an adsorptive feature, the detector must be cleaned thoroughly with
fresh air before turning "OFF" the detector.

<Suppression Function>
Some types of sensor used with the detector are influenced by environmental changes (temperature, humidity, and other characteristics) or interference gases (interference characteristics) in no small measure, which affects the reading. Therefore, the reading might vary around zero even in a normal environment with no gas leakage. This function obscures influences by environmental changes and interference gases around zero that have no meaning for your management rules of gas alarm. This function is used to hide (suppress) the variation of the reading under the setting value, indicating zero.
<<Example: SiH4 0 - 15 ppm rated range>>
0.5ppm
Suppression Disabled A variation around zero is displayed as the reading.
SIH4
0.0ppm
SIH4
NOTE
In the maintenance mode, this function is disabled and the variation of the reading under the setting value is displayed.
When a sensor unit with the oxygen deficiency alarm (OSU 0 - 25 vol%) is equipped, the zero suppression is shifted to AIR suppression automatically. That is, a small variation of the reading around 20.9 vol% is displayed as 20.9 vol%.
CAUTION
A reading under zero is suppressed with the 10% FS suppression.
A reading that is 10% FS or more under zero is displayed as "-0.0", which prevents an accurate gas
detection and needs the zero adjustment.
Suppression Enabled A variation under the standard setting value = 6% FS (0.9 ppm) is hidden with zero. (Zero suppression)

<Zero Follower Function>
Some types of sensor used with the detector might have sensitivity variations after being used for a long period. This function corrects the variation of the reading at the zero point (zero drift) among the sensitivity variations over time by a program manipulation to stabilize the zero point, and works on the electrochemical type (ESU) and pyrolysis-particle type (SSU).

Function>
Some types of sensor used with the detector might have sensitivity variations after being used for a long period. This function compensates the degradation of the gas sensitivity among the sensitivity variations over time. It works on the electrochemical type (ESU) and makes the span adjustment by a program manipulation based on the principled degradation pattern.

CAUTION
The sensitivity correction is just an auxiliary function. It uniformly lifts the span up based on the principled degradation pattern only and cannot consider the sensitivity variation of an individual sensor. To correct the sensitivity variation of an individual sensor, you must make the regular span adjustment using an adjustment gas.
<Calibration History/Alarm Trend History/Event History Functions>
The detector and the sensor unit have their own history functions. To use these functions, contact our sales department.
<Sensor Unit Automatic Recognition Function>
The detector has the function to automatically recognize the sensor unit when the sensor unit is replaced or the specification is changed. When a sensor unit with a different serial number or with a different principle or specification is attached, one of the following messages is displayed for helping the correct installation.
C-01

Unit Replacement Displayed when a unit with the same specification (principle, type, range, and so on) is attached (e.g. in a regular replacement). Press the MODE key to recognize the new sensor unit and start the monitor.

MAINTENANCE
Specification Change Displayed when a unit with a different specification (principle, type, range, and so on) from the previous one is attached. Press the MODE key to recognize the unit with the new specification and start the monitor. If you do not intend the specification change, this message might mean the installation error. Check the correct installation.
CAUTION
If you confirm the specification change (principle, sensor type, detected gases, detectable range, and so on) of the sensor unit for "C-02", the specification of the gas detector head is changed. Note that it resets the alarm setpoint (ALM P) as well as the following parameters to the standard setting values. If you want to use nonstandard setting values, set them in the maintenance mode.
Alarm delay time setting (ALM DLY)

"Change from OSU (L-LL alarm)" or "change to OSU (L-LL alarm)" reverses the direction of the alarm. It requires special care because the previous settings are kept for the external output and other settings in the maintenance mode. Immediately after "C-02" is confirmed with the MODE key, the initial clear is started and the new actions are enabled. (The initial clear output is shifted together.)

Detection principle
Detection principle
<Electrochemical Type>
The electric potential between the working electrode and reference electrode is kept at a certain level by a potentiostat circuit. The gas to be detected is electrolyzed directly at
Gas
permeable
membrane
the working electrode. Because the electric current generated there is proportional to the gas concentration, the gas concentration can be known by measuring the electric current flown
Gas in
Gas out
between the working electrode and the opposite electrode.
Special precautions for this principle
1.
The detector is interfered by gases other than the gas to be detected, solvents, vapors, etc. Please note that the alarm can be triggered by interference. In addition, it may be fluctuated by environmental (temperature, humidity, etc.) changes in the installation site.
2. The alarm must be set within a range where the performance of the detector can be ensured.
In facilities compliant with the High Pressure Gas Safety Act, an alarm setting below our standard alarm setpoint (threshold limit value) may trigger a false alarm.
3. This is a safety device, not a control device.
The alarm contact output of the detector must be used for an external alarm lamp/buzzer, while the alarm signal output must be used for an indicator or external recorder. If these outputs are used to control other devices, we shall not be responsible for any malfunctions.
4. Because the contact point of the gas detector sensor is made of porous polymeric membrane, the water
repellency of the membrane is deteriorated by solvents, thus causing an electrolyte leak from its inside. Do not use solvents near the detector. If you must use a solvent for unavoidable reasons, attach the recommended filter to the inlet of the gas detector while using the solvent and for one hour after that.
5. For maintenance of the detector, it must go through a regular maintenance, including replacement and
adjustment of the regular replacement parts as specified in the operating manual. In addition, because this is a safety device, it is recommended that a regular maintenance and gas calibration are performed for every six months in accordance with the regulations.

Detection principle
A
<Pyrolysis-Particle Type>
When the gas to be detected is heated to several hundred degrees, particulate solid oxides are formed. This is a sensor to detect particles formed in such a way by using the α ray absorbing method.
Structure
This unit consists of a pyrolyzer which heats gas to several hundred degrees and a particle detector which detect oxides. The pyrolyzer has a quartz pipe at its center covered with a heating element and a heat insulator around it. The particle detector consists of the measurement box in which α ray always generates ion current and the compensation box which has the identical structure (gas is not introduced).
Principle
When most of organic metal (MO) gas, such as TEOS,
(Particle detector)
are heated, particulate oxides are formed. Sample gas which is decomposed to oxides in the Pyrolyzer is introduced into the particle detector. Inside of the measurement box of the particle detector, the α ray radiation source *1 ionizes the air and generates ion current. Ion current is also generated in the compensation box, and its ratio is maintained at a certain level in both the measurement box and the compensation box when no
Compensation box
gas is present. When particles are introduced into the measurement box, the particles adsorb ions, thus reducing the ion current. Its ratio to the compensation box changes, which can be obtained from the detector.
* 1: Am-241 37kBq
Special precautions for this principle
1. The detector is interfered by gases other than the gas to be detected, and vapors.
Please note that the alarm can be triggered by interference. In addition, it may be fluctuated by environmental (temperature, humidity, etc.) changes in the installation site.
2. The alarm must be set within a range where the performance of the detector can be ensured.
In facilities compliant with the High Pressure Gas Safety Act, an alarm setting below our standard alarm setpoint may trigger a false alarm.
3. This is a safety device, not a control device.
The alarm contact output of the detector must be used for an external alarm lamp/buzzer, while the alarm signal output must be used for an indicator or external recorder. If these outputs are used to control other devices, we shall not be responsible for any malfunctions.
4. The gas detection sensor unit attached to the detector contains a small amount of radioactive materials.
Do not disassemble it, or dispose of it like other wastes. (For information on how to handle the sensor, see the "Safety Manual".)
5. For maintenance of the detector, it must go through a regular maintenance, including replacement and
adjustment of the regular replacement parts as specified in the operating manual. In addition, because this is a safety device, it is recommended that a regular maintenance and gas calibration are performed for every six months in accordance with the regulations.

The pyrolysis-particle type sensor installed in the gas detector uses the radioisotope 241Am radiation source (18.5 KBq x 2 = 37 KBq).
A specified designing certification device must satisfy the specified threshold for "1 cm dose equivalent rate at a point 10 cm away from the surface of the device" as a certificate condition, which is the following value (tolerable amount).
Tolerable amount 1 cm dose equivalent rate at a point 10 cm away from the surface of the device
This detector which uses radioisotope cm dose equivalent rate at a point 10 cm away from its surface, meaning that it completely satisfies the certification condition.

Detection principle
<Semiconductor Type>
Metal dioxide can measure gas concentration based on changes in the electric conductivity of semiconductor caused by gas accumulated on its surface.

RL: Load resistance Vo: Output voltage VH:Heater voltage Vs: Sensor voltage
Special precautions for this principle
1. The detector is interfered by gases other than the gas to be detected, and vapors.
Please note that the alarm can be triggered by interference. In addition, it may be fluctuated by environmental (temperature, humidity, etc.) changes in the installation site.
2. The alarm must be set within a range where the performance of the detector can be ensured.
In facilities compliant with the High Pressure Gas Safety Act, an alarm setting below our standard alarm setpoint may trigger a false alarm.
3. This is a safety device, not a control device.
The alarm contact output of the detector must be used for an external alarm lamp/buzzer, while the alarm signal output must be used for an indicator or external recorder. If these outputs are used to control other devices, we shall not be responsible for any malfunctions.
4. The gas sensing part of the gas detection sensor installed in this detector is made of porous sintered
bodies. If silicon or sulfide compounds are accumulated on the surface of porous sintered bodies, the area of the gas sensing part becomes smaller, which may results in serious deterioration of its sensitivity. For safety reasons, do not use the detector under presence of silicon or sulfide compounds even though their amount is very small.
5. For maintenance of the detector, it must go through a regular maintenance, including replacement and
adjustment of the regular replacement parts as specified in the operating manual. In addition, because this is a safety device, it is recommended that a regular maintenance and gas calibration are performed for every six months in accordance with the regulations.

Detection principle
<Galvanic Cell Type>
By immersing precious metal and lead in electrolyte and connecting them with a lead wire, a battery can be made (galvanic cell). When oxygen passes through the barrier, deoxidizing reaction occurs at the precious metal electrode while oxidizing reaction occurs at the lead electrode. The electric current generated by this reaction goes through load resistance (thermister), where it is converted into voltage so that it can be read. When the oxygen
Po s it i v e
electrode
concentration is decreased, deoxidizing reaction at the precious metal electrode is also decreased, thus lowering the voltage at both ends of the thermister.

Special precautions for this principle
1. The readings of the detector fluctuate slightly in response to changes in the air pressure. In particular, be
careful of alarm activation when a low air pressure is brought in by typhoon. The environmental (temperature, humidity, etc.) changes in the installation site may also have influences on the readings.
2. The alarm must be set within a range where the performance of the detector can be ensured. The
standard alarm setpoint is 18 vol%.
3. This is a safety device, not a control device.
The alarm contact output of the detector must be used for an external alarm lamp/buzzer, while the alarm signal output must be used for an indicator or external recorder. If these outputs are used to control other devices, we shall not be responsible for any malfunctions.
4. For maintenance of the detector, it must go through a regular maintenance, including replacement and
adjustment of the regular replacement parts as specified in the operating manual. In addition, because this is a safety device, it is recommended that a regular maintenance and sensitivity calibration are performed for every six months.
