Hydrocarbon Vapor Sensor
OPW P/N: 30-0235-V
Hydrocarbon Vapor Sensor
The Hydrocarbon Vapor Sensor detects hydrocarbon vapors in dry
monitoring wells. The presence of these vapors could indicate a
potentially dangerous leak that could lead to safety and
environmental problems. The sensor is made from a long-life resistive
element that increases dramatically in resistance in the presence of
hydrocarbon vapors. Detection of vapors will result in an alarm
condition, as will a break in the cable or sensor malfunction.
Hydrocarbon Vapor Sensor Installation
1. Check Dry Monitoring Wells for vapors before installing.
2. Mount Sensor close to the top above the water level, if
applicable.
3. If sensor is submerged in water it will not function.
NOTE: Depending on saturation factor, the sensor may require
up to 30 minutes to return to normal after vapors have
dissipated.
