UltraSonicEX-5GasLeakDetector
The UltraSonic EX-5 Gas Leak Detector responds to the ultrasound generated from gas releases in open, well-ventilated areas, where traditional methods of detection may be unsuitable or dependent on ventilation. Because the UltraSonic EX-5 Detector responds to the source of a gas release rather than the dispersed gas, it is unaected by changing wind directions, gas dilution, and the direction of the gas leak. With its wide coverage radius, a single unit can monitor a relatively large area. The UltraSonic EX-5 Detector is immune to many false signals and can be configured to filter short timescale ultrasonic noise that can produce nuisance alarms. Frequencies below 25 kHz are removed by a high pass filter, eectively eliminating interference from audible and low frequency ultrasonic noise. At the same time, setting the alarm trigger level above the ultrasonic background noise ensures immunity to other noise sources. The result is a reliable method of detection, able to monitor environments with high levels of ultrasound such as turbine rooms and compressor stations. The UltraSonic EX-5Detector also features the Senssonic patented self-test for full failsafe operation. This self-test checks the electrical integrity of the device and microphone every 15 minutes and ensures that the detector is operational at all times. In addition to a 4-20 mA output, the UltraSonic EX-5 Detector is available with ModBus or HART to enable asset management and process improvement.

InstrumentCalibration
Whether an instrument warns and/ or alarms at the proper time depends on its ability to translate the quantity of gas it detects into an accurate reading. Calibration refers to an instruments measurement accuracy relative to a known concentration of gas. Gas detectors perform relative measurements: rather than independently assessing the quantity of gas present, they measure the concentration of the air sample and then compare it to the known concentration of the gas that the instrument is configured to sample. This known concentration serves as the instruments measurement scale, or reference point. If the instruments reference point has moved, then its reading will also move. This is called calibration drift and it happens to most instruments over time. (Common causes of calibration drift include the normal degradation of sensors, exposure of the sensor to poisons, and harsh operating conditions.) When an instrument experiences calibration drift it can still measure the quantity of gas present, but it cannot convert it into an accurate numerical reading. Regular calibration with a certified standard gas concentration updates the instruments reference point, re-enabling it to produce accurate readings. There are two methods of verifying instrument calibration: through a functional or bump test (or span check) or by performing a full calibration. Each is appropriate under certain conditions. Bump(orSpan)Check A bump check is a means of verifying calibration by exposing the instrument to a known concentration of test gas. The instrument reading is then compared to the actual quantity of gas present (as indicated on the cylinder). If the instruments response is within an acceptable range of the actual concentration then its calibration is verified. When performing a bump test, the test gas concentration should be high enough to trigger the instrument alarm. If the bump test results are not within the acceptable range, then a full calibration must be performed. FullCalibration A full calibration is the adjustment of the instruments reading to coincide with known concentrations (generally a certified standard) of zero and span gases, to compensate for calibration drift. In most cases, a full calibration is only necessary when an instrument does not pass the bump test (or after it has been serviced). ZeroCheck A zero check is performed to verify that the instrument reads true zero (also referred to as the baseline) in an environment in which no amount of target gas is present. Common situations in which a zero check is performed include: after exposure of the sensor to a sensor contaminant after the sensor has been exposed to a very high concentration of the target gas
as the sensor ages, since it may gradually drift after the unit has operated in varying background conditions (e.g. humidity levels) after exposure to extreme conditions (e.g. high temperature or humidity) If the instrument fails the zero check, then a zero adjustmentwhich sets the instrument to true zeroshould be performed. FrequencyofCalibration The frequency of calibration depends on the sensors operating time, conditions of use (including chemical exposure) and user experience with the instrument. New sensors should be calibrated more often until the calibration records prove sensor stability. The calibration frequency can then be reduced to the schedule set by the safety ocer or plant manager. Before calibrating the sensors, it is good practice to apply power to the unit to allow the sensor to adapt to the new environment. Sensors should be powered at least one full hour before any calibration attempt is made.

MSAGuidetoGasSensorSelectionandPlacement
STEP 1: To determine where to place sensors, perform an analysis of the potential gas hazards in your facility. STEP 2: Create drawings indicating all potential leak sites, as well as the severity of each sites hazard potential. There are two main categories of hazardous locations: A. Potential gas discharge points. These are places where hazardous gases may be released, such as valve stem seals, gaskets, compression fittings and expansion joints. B. Potential contact areas. These are places where hazardous gases may endanger workers, or damage equipment or property. Examples include populated areas, confined spaces, pits, stairwells, crawl spaces, shelters, and residential, business and industrial environments located nearby. STEP 3: Since gases do not always behave in the same way, take air flow conditions, as well as potential gas pockets, into consideration before placing sensors. MSA smoke tubes (P/N 458481) can be useful in measuring the direction and rate of air flow to determine areas where gases may accumulate. In general, when placing sensors the following principles should be considered: Place sensors in areas where the air currents are likely to produce the highest gas concentration, including areas where gas buildup is likely, such as corners or stopping points of moving devices that release gas. If you are attempting to take a representative room sample, do not place sensors near entrances or fresh air vents (because the sample concentration will be diluted by incoming air) unless there is a need to sample that specific area of the room. Place sensors close to the possible gas/leak source. Place combustible gas sensors between the potential leak and the ignition source. Place toxic gas and oxygen sensors between the potential leak and the populated area, and in the workers breathing zone. Consider ease of access to the sensor for maintenance requirements, such as periodic calibration. Use a remote sensor for high or inaccessible locations. Avoid mounting sensors near radio transmitters or other RFI-producing sources (e.g., welding activity and induction heaters), to reduce possible RF interference. Avoid locations where airborne particles may coat or contaminate the sensor, such as paint booths. Install sensors in a position that prevents water or dust accumulation on the sensor head (which may impede the diusion of gas into the sensor). The preferred position is facing downward, but horizontal placement is also acceptable. Facility air intakes are generally good locations for sensors. Ensure that the entire area in question is suciently monitored, including little-used areas such as closets, warehouses and other storage areas. Factor in the vapor density of the monitored gases when compared to air.
GasDensityandSensorPlacement

Product Guide
CombustibleGasSensors Hydrogen and methane are lighter than air, so place sensors near the ceiling, and in ceiling corners where pockets of air may collect. For electric motor monitoring, place sensors near the ignition source. Gasoline is heavier than air, so place sensors nearbut not directly onthe floor. When monitoring multiple combustible gases, calibrate the instrument for the least sensitive gas. Toxic&OxygenGasSensors Place carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide sensors for indoor air quality monitoring near air intake ducts. In general, in occupied areas (e.g., confined spaces) monitor for oxygen and toxic gases in the workers breathing zone (4-6 ft.). This will vary, depending on whether the density of the gas is heavier, the same as, or lighter than, air or oxygen. Gas cylinder storage areas: If they are ventilated, place sensors near the return air vent. Acid/ solvent drum storage areas: These gases are heavier than air (e.g., heavy hydrocarbons) so place sensors close to the ground and in corners where air may collect in pockets. If the hazard is outside, place sensors near the air intake for both combustible and toxic gas monitoring; if the hazard is inside, place sensors near the exhaust. Some gases may collect in pockets in room corners, at both floor and ceiling levels. Place sensors in these areas if necessary. RefrigerantMonitorPlacement ASHRAE 15 states that a refrigerant monitor capable of detecting the TLV for a refrigerant gas must be installed in a mechanical equipment room. Place the end of the sample line in the location most likely to develop a refrigerant gas leak or spill. Such areas include valves, fittings and the chiller itself. Also, monitor any refrigerant storage location. It is good practice to keep all sampling lines as short as possible when an aspirated or pumped sampling system is used. Since most refrigerant gases are heavier than air, monitor these gases close to the floor. Any pits, stairwells or trenches are likely to fill with refrigerant gas before the main area. It may be necessary to monitor these locations for refrigerant gas. If ventilation exists in the chiller room, MSA smoke tubes (P/N 458481) will help to determine the most appropriate gas monitoring locations. Monitor displays can be placed just outside the doorway of the monitored area, enabling personnel to check the status before entering the area. ASHRAE Standard 147P states the following:4.8 Refrigerant Monitor. On large refrigerating systems for which a refrigerant monitor is required per ASHRAE 15, a refrigerant monitor capable of detecting refrigerant concentrations of 1 ppm by volume or less shall be used to provide early warning of leaks.
Toxic&CombustibleSensors Place sensors near the potential release source for process monitoring applications (e.g., pipelines, valves).

It is not intended to serve as an exhaustive review of all considerations. Due to the large number of variables present, each site should be considered individually by a trained professional.
