3 Installation
3.1 Installation Warnings – Read Before Installation
WARNING!
Refer to 9 Appendix: General Certification Information before installation and operation.
Some Digital Sensors are provided in a fritless sensor housing. The fritless sensor housing is labeled as Div 2 or Zone 2 and is approved for Div 2 or Zone 2
installations only. The protection method is Nonincendive or Type n respectively. Ensure all components are approved for the wiring method being used and
in accordance with the National Electric Code of the country of use, any applicable local regulations, and this manual.
As part of the product certification, it was verified that optional communication functions of this gas detection instrument while operating at the maximum
transaction rate do not adversely affect the gas detection operation and functions of the instrument. The product certification, however, does not include or
imply approval of the SafeSwap
feature, communications protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications apparatus and software connected to
this instrument.
Follow the warnings below when removing or replacing sensors. Reference Figure 3 for component overview.
– Never remove or replace a sensor body assembly or an IR Sensor while under power or when explosive hazards are present.
– Confirm that the area is free of explosive hazards before removing or replacing an XCell Sensor under power.
– To remove an XCell Sensor, unscrew XCell Sensor three full turns, wait 10 seconds, and then remove the XCell Sensor completely.
Plug all unused conduit entries with a suitably certified blanking/stopping plug.
Do not paint the device. Avoid painting in areas where the S5000 and remote sensor junction box are located. If painting is required in an area where an
S5000 or remote sensor has been installed, exercise caution to ensure paint is not deposited on the sensor inlet fitting. Paint solvents can also cause an
alarm condition to occur or potentially poison electrochemical sensors.
Protect the device from extreme vibration.
Do not mount the sensing head in direct sunlight without a sunshield (P/N 10180254).
IR Sensors contain no user- or field-serviceable parts and must be returned to the factory for repair. Any attempt to open the monitor will damage the unit
and void the warranty.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
NOTICE
When installing the IR Sensor, under no circumstances should a pry-bar be applied to the two legs that support the unit’s reflectors during installation or removal
of the sensor. Applying force to the legs can permanently damage the IR Sensor.
3.2 Reviewing Shipment and Identifying Product Model
