External grounding shall be used when the detector is installed in an Ex-
zone.
Normally not used. Shield of the cable is typically connected to instrument
earth in the central control cabinet and is normally not terminated at the
detector.
If extra RFI protection is required, and the installation's grounding
principles/regulations allow it, the shield can be terminated to local ground
via the internal earth point at the detector.
Table 2. Minimum voltage to PG11 shall be 18 VDC. Examples of cable and maximum length.
* For a nominal power of 24 V. Longer cable can be used with higher supply voltage.
3.4.1 Booting up the Gas Detector
When turning on the power to the Gas Detector it has a boot-up time of 60 seconds. During this time the
Detector will run self diagnostics and if the indicator is configured to be active it will show yellow light. After
this boot-up time the Detector is ready to detect gas, but for a very precise testing of gas accuracy the
Detector should be allowed for another 20 minutes warm up time
