INSTALLATION IN GENERAL
Controller
The controller shall preferable be installed at a central place, where person-
nel is present at all times, i.e. in the control room. The controller shall be
protected from dirt and water coming along the wall or the mounting plate.
The controller shall not be installed in the area under monitoring, e.g. in a
refrigeration compressor room. In constraining situations, as minimum re-
quirement gas alarming sound and/or flashing equipment shall be installed
at the entrance of the room.
Do not install any third-party components or devices on the gas detection
controller. Use of uninterrupted power source is recommended to maintain
monitoring during power outage.
A map containing all gas detector and alarm device locations shall be avail-
able near the gas detection controller. It is also advisable to provide any
site-specific instructions for alarm events.
Gas detection controller and gas detectors require regular maintenance.
The controller and detectors shall be maintained at the same time to ensure
reliable operation of the system. It is recommended to test any external
alarm functionality during the maintenance.
Function of the Relays
Ensure the compatibility of the load and relays beforehand. The relays in
the AVACO SYSTEMS products are designed for resistive load. When con-
necting capacitive / inductive loads, e.g. flashes or contactors, the load
must be adapted appropriate to the relays. In most cases this can be done
by connecting a metal oxide varistor or an RC filter parallel to the relay tips.
Apply relay controls only after successful system test.
Gas Detectors
The gas detectors need regular maintenance. The accessibility has to be
taken into account when choosing the installation place, if necessary,
maintenance platforms has to be arranged. Do not expose gas detectors to
strong infrared radiation or steam clouds.
Gas detectors are to be installed as late as possible during construction
work to avoid any damage due to welding and painting. However, installa-
tion and stabilization must be carried out before using any gases or liquids
the detectors are to measure. Stabilization time is 2 to 4 days or more
depending on sensor type and temperature unless otherwise noted. By-
pass all relay controls during the stabilization.

_____________________________________________________________________________
To protect the gas detector from dirt and moisture the casing has to be in-
stalled with the sensor protection cover directed downwards. Also, the ca-
bling shall be done from below for the same reasons. When the cabling in
constraining situations is done from above, the gland has to be sealed
properly.
During gas detector installation or when making electrical changes into the
gas detection system, the power must be disconnected to prevent damage.
The gas detector shall be assembled near to a presumptive leakage place
to achieve a fast response, however, the density of the gas shall be taken
into account when defining the assembly height.
• when monitoring gases, which are heavier than air the gas detectors
shall be assembled at a height of 30 – 50 cm from the floor level.
Thus, there is enough space between the gas detector and the floor
for the maintenance of the gas detector and for the cleaning of the
floor. If there are possibilities of mechanical damage, a protection
shield shall be assembled around the sensor.
• when monitoring gases, which are lighter than air the gas detectors
shall be assembled at or near to the ceiling.
• when the density for the measured gas is approximately the same as
for air the gas detectors shall be installed at the breathing height.
• Install splash protection in areas where detectors are exposed to wa-
ter. (see page 7, consult manufacturer for more information)
• A heated enclosure may be required when using the detector outside
of normal operating temperature and/or humidity.
The detectors are meant for alarm limit based detection of gases and sol-
vents. These devices require regular maintenance and testing to ensure
correct operation. Full calibration must be done at least once a year and
testing more often. On-site safety statement will define the correct test inter-
val.
Test gas pressure at detector gas inlet shall be within ±10% of nominal air
pressure.
Calibration and test gas concentration must not exceed the range of the de-
tector. In case of flammable gas the concentration must be 0 – 50 %LEL.
Excess gas concentration may damage the sensor element. Make sure the
gas flow at the calibration adapter is unobstructed. Contact your dealer for
most of calibration gases.
In unclear situations regarding the installation of the gas detectors, kindly
contact DETECTOR Oy, or the local authorities for occupational health and
safety or the fire brigade.

Cabling
The gas detectors are cabled to the controllers as own circuits, by e.g.
JAMAK 2x(2+1)x0.5 mm2 or by an equivalent cable. At ATEX sites standard
EN 60079-14 will specify the cable type. The type of the gas detector de-
fines the number of wires in the cable. If the cable is exposed for vandalism
or mechanical stress, an armoured cable shall be used.
Signal cable shields are grounded only from the controller to prevent
ground current loops. If the gas detector casing is not earth connected, the
signal cable shield shall be connected to the casing.
When using other than recommended cable, correct operation of the sys-
tem is not guaranteed.
The type of the gas detector, the supply voltage and the cable cross-section
area defines the maximum cable length. It is recommended to use the fol-
lowing formula for calculating the maximum cable length, when the distance
is over 300 m. The formula is valid for AVACO SYSTEMS gas detectors,
when the cable cross section area, the maximum allowed loss of voltage,
the specific resistance of the used cable material and the power consump-
tion of the gas detector are known.
Wire area [mm2] * Voltage Loss [V]

Cable [m]=
Ω
2 * Detector Current [A] * Wire Resistance Factor [ * mm2]
𝑚
Formula 1, calculation of the maximum cable length.
Voltage Loss: The minimum required voltage for the gas detector is sub-
tracted from the supply voltage; the result is the biggest allowed loss of volt-
age in the cable, which is used in the formula as voltage loss.
Detector Current: The current consumption in Ampere written on the equip-
ment plate or in the inspection sheet for the equipment.
Wire Area: The wire cross section area in square millimetres.
Wire Resistance Factor: The specific resistance for the wire material, for
copper 0.0172 Ω/m*mm2.
The result for cable length is expressed in meters.
For example, a wire with a maximum voltage loss of 10V, cross section
area of 0.8 mm2 and with gas detector current consumption of 205 mA, the
maximum cable length is calculated to be approximately 1 100 m.

Mechanical Installation of the gas detectors

All gas detectors are enclosed in IP54 metallic casing and delivered with in-
sulating mounting base.
The sensor, sensor cover and electronics inside the case varies according
the model and features. Earth bonding connector is found at the bottom part
of the casing.
Install cable entry at downwards position to prevent water from entering the
casing. Do not remove the instrument label.
Stainless steel double skin weather enclosures are available (see page 7).
The protector prevents, e.g. snow, rain, water from cleaning devices. The
splash protector parts include the bottom plate, top plate, rain guard and
pipe mount kit. The parts are separately available to suite the needs on-site.

MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION

The gas detectors and controllers are tested and calibrated by the manufac-
turer. Installation instructions and calibration reports are included.
Gas detection equipment requires regular maintenance to ensure appropri-

ate operation. Consider the future maintenance at the time of installation.
We will help you to plan and conduct maintenance planning and calibration.
Maintenance contracts are custom made to suite individual needs.
We also conduct installation inspections. Controller and detector attach-

ment, wiring and settings will be checked. Detectors will be tested with cali-
bration gas to ensure that everything from sensor element to external
alarms are functioning properly. End users receive introduction to using the
system. Inspection report contains any possible correction needs. Installa-
tion inspection and any other trainings are planned according to customer
needs.
Contact manufacturer or distributor regarding any maintenance needs.
