Docking station
The basic principle behind installation of the detector is that all wiring and
pipework is installed using a docking station. This is a convenient feature which
means that the detector can be dismounted or replaced without disturbing any
wiring or installed pipework.
The docking station inlet (sampling) ports and exhaust port is used to interface
with the pipe network. The inlet ports are used for aspirating the pipework
network. The exhaust port allows the detector exhaust air to be routed back to
the sampling area, when differing atmospheric pressures require this. Refer to
Figure 4 below.
