Description
This section describes the components of the GD-70D4S-XX. It consists of the enclosure, a GD-70D and a power supply mounted inside, and an amber strobe mounted on the top right side of the enclosure. The “XX” in the part number r epr esents a number that den otes the target gas and changes depending on the target gas. The “S” denotes that the unit runs from AC power and that a str obe i s inst all ed. Fo r exam ple, the part numb er for a detect or head for ozone (O complete list of available part numbers.
A hydrophobic sample filter is also provided with the GD-70D4S-XX for installation at the inlet fitting. The filter has push fittings for 1/4 inch O.D. teflon tubing and can be connected to the short tubing stub on the GD-70D4S-XX inlet fitting. The filter scrubs particulates out of the sample stream and keeps water and many other liquids from entering the GD-70D4S-XX flow system.

Enclosure
The enclosure is a type NEMA 4X plastic enclosure designed for use in areas that are subject to rain or hosing down. A mounting foot is installed in each corner. Two sample fittings are mounted on the bottom right of the enclosure and two 3/4” conduit hubs are mounted to the left of the sample fittings.
Sample Fittings
The inlet fitting is on the bottom right of the enclosure and the exhaust fitting is to the left of the inlet fitting. The fittings accept 1/4”O.D. x 1/8” I.D. Teflon tubing. The inlet fitting has a short factory installed tubing stub for use with the hydrophobic filter.
Conduit Hubs
Two 3/4” conduit hubs are located to the left of the sample fittings. They are used for routing wiring into the enclosure by using conduit or an appropriate cable bushing.
Inlet Fitting Tubing Stub
A short tubing stub comes factory installed in the inlet fitting. It is used for connecting the hydrophobic filter. If the hydrophobic filter is not used, or if you install the hydrophobic filter in a different location, the tubing stub needs to be removed and replaced with tubing. Do not pull the tubing stub downward to remove it. Instead, unscrew the lowe r inlet fitting nut from the fitting body. The tubing stub should come out with the nut. Be careful not to lose the O-ring that may come out with the tubing stub. Push the tubing stub up and out of the inlet fitting nut being careful not to lose the ferrule set. Push the new tubing up through the inlet fitting nut and replace the ferrule set and the O-ring, if it came out, in the orientation shown in Figure 2. Screw the inlet fitting nut back onto the fitting body and push the tubing upward until it stops. See Figure 2 for the inlet fitting layout.
GD-70D & Power Supply
The GD-70D sample draw detector head is mounted to a plate inside the enclosure. The GD-70D sample fittings are factory connected to the sample fittings on the NEMA 4X enclosure. The GD-70D is powered with 24 VDC supplied by a power supply that operates from a 100 - 240 VAC input. The GD-70D is factory wired to the power supply and to the strobe. See the GD-70D operator’s manual for a complete description of the GD-70D.

Strobe
A NEMA 4X amber strobe is mounted on the top right side of the enclosure. It is factory wired to the alarm 1 relay terminals on the GD-70D and the 24 VDC output of the power supply so that it turns on during an alarm 1 condition.

Installation
This section describes how to install the GD-70 D4S-XX at the monitoring site.
Mounting the GD-70D4S-XX
1. Select a mounting site that is representative of the monitoring environment. Consider the following when you select the mounting site.
Select a site that is easily accessible for servicing.
Select a site where the GD-70D4S-XX is not likely to be bumped or disturbed.
Make sure there is sufficient room to make wiring and sample line connections at the bottom of the GD-70D4S-XX. Also make sure there is sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration procedures.
Select a site near the sampling area. The GD-70D4S-XX is designed to detect a
variety of toxic gases many of wh ich are easily absorbed in sample tubing. Keep the sample line length to a minimum. Teflon PTFE tubing is recommended.
Use four 1/4” screws through the mounting feet to mount the GD-70D4S-XX to a
vertical surface. See Figure 4 for the mounting dimensions.

Connecting Sample Lines to the GD-70D4S-XX
1. Connect the hydrophobic filter to the tubing stub on the inlet. If the hydrophobic filter is not used, or if you install the hy drophobic filter in a
different location, replace the tubing stub with 1/4’’ x 1/8’’ tubing as described in “Inlet Fitting Tubing Stub” on page 2.
2. Connect a length of sample tubing to the other side of the hydrophobic filter and route it to the sampling area. If the hydrophobic filter is not used, or if you install the hydrophobic filter in a different location, route tubing from inlet fitting to sample area. Be sure to keep the length to a minimum. Consult RKI Instruments, Inc. for lengths of more than 20 feet.
CAUTION: Avoid loops or slumps in the incoming sample line. T o r educe response time, keep the
incoming sample line as short as possibl e.
3. Install 1/4“ O.D. x 1/8” I .D. Teflon PTFE sample tubing to the gas out fitting. Route the opposite end of the tubing to an open area where the sample can safely disperse or to an exhaust duct.

Wiring the GD-70D to a Controller and AC Power
W ARNING: Always verify that power to the GD-70D4S-XX and to the controller are off
1. Turn off power to the controller and the GD-70D4S-XX.
2. Place the controller’s and GD-70D’s power switches in the OFF position.
3. Use the conduit hubs at the bottom of the GD-70D4S-XX for routing power and signal cables into the enclosure. Route a 3-wire power cable (18 AWG) and any relay wiring through one conduit hub, and 2-conductor shielded cable, or two wires in conduit through the other conduit hub to minimize crosstalk.
