3.3 Gasguard Transmitter / CH4 Sensor
Figure 3.2: Gasguard Transmitter with Integrated CH4 Sensor
The Gasguard transmitter may include an integral or remote head sensor. In either case the sensor
should be mounted pointing vertically downwards and sufficient space left around and beneath the
sensor for fitting of the calibration cup.
The front panel of the transmitter has to be accessible for calibration and service of the sensor and
should be mounted in a position to allow for the magnetic screwdrivers to be used and the reading on the
screen viewed.
It is not necessary for the transmitter to be viewed by the driver.
If the remote head sensor is used bear in mind that if the sensor needs to be replaced, easy removal and
re-installation of the cable is advantageous.
See Gasguard sensor manual for further information.
3.4 IDA Display (Optional)
Figure 3.3: IDA Display
The IDA display provides feedback to the operator of the diesel machine as to the ambient CH4 levels.
The IDA display is optional and alternative display panels using LED and other equipment can be used.
If the IDA display is used it should be mounted in a position where the driver can see it without it being in
his direct line of vision. See IDA technical datasheet for more detail.
