4. Installation
The gas detector must only be installed by qualified personnel.
It is recommended to read the manual completely in order to use the product correctly.
4.1 General Information
The performance and overall effectiveness of the system strictly depend on the characteristics of the place where the
gas detector is installed. It is therefore necessary to scrupulously comply with and carefully analyze every detail of the
installation process, including (but not limited to) the following aspects:
• Local, state and national regulations and standards governing the installation of gas monitoring equipment
• Electrical standards governing the laying and connection of power and signal cables to gas monitoring equipment
• All possible environmental conditions that the devices will be exposed to
• The physical characteristics of the gas to be detected (in particular, its specific weight)
• The characteristics of the application (for example, possible leakages, movement of air, areas where gas may stagnate and collect,
high pressure areas, etc.)
• The accessibility needed for routine maintenance and repairs
• The types of equipment and accessories needed to manage the system
• Any limiting factors or regulations that may affect system performance or installations
The installation surfaces must not be exposed to continuous vibrations so as to prevent damage
to the connections and electronic devices.
4.2 Installation Tips
THERE IS NO GENERAL RULE for establishing the appropriate number of sensors and their location for each
application. Therefore, the guidelines described below are intended as support for installers, and not as rules in their
own right. Copeland accepts no liability for the installation of the gas detectors.
