Model 4501-XX Toxic Gas Sensor Module

4 INSTALLATION

4.1 Sensor Module Locations


The gas sensor module utilizes a diffusion type sensor which should Model Gas Specific Gravity
be located close to either the expected source or destination of the N/A Air 1.00
gas hazard. If the gas is heavier than air, the sensor module should 4501-04 CO 0.97
be installed within 24 inches of the ground or floor. If it is lighter than 4501-05 H 2S 1.19
air, 4501-06 Cl2 2.49
4501-08 ClO2 3.09
After optimum locations are determined based on the above 4501-10 SO2 2.26
recommendations, consideration should be given to placing the 4501-12 NO2 1.59
sensor modules in locations which are accessible for calibration 4501-25 NH3 0.60
service. Slight adjustments to the location of the sensor module may 4501-26 HF 1.86
have little impact on effectiveness but major effect on accessibility. Figure 4: Specific Gravities

Modules should be placed in areas accessible for calibration.

The cover should face out from the wall for easy access.

Sensors should be pointed down and the conduit should include an inverse trap to reduce moisture
(condensation) from accumulating in the electronics enclosure.
