3.3 General Installation Instructions
• For connection to the power supply system a fault-free ground or fault-free equipotential bonding must be
provided.
• An appropriate supply voltage free of feedback to the external source in accordance with the EMC Directives
(2014/30/EU) must be used.
• If the devices are supplied from a direct voltage [dc] source, the supply cable must be screened.
• Screened cable is to be used to connect the sensor signal.
• Screened cable must have at least 80% coverage by the screening.
• Sensor cables must be installed physically separate from power supply cables.
• Screened cables must be installed in one piece. If it should prove necessary to extend a cable by way of a terminal
box, the terminal box must be screened, and the connections in the box must be kept as short as possible.
• Unscreened cables and cables from which the insulation has been stripped must be as short as possible and must
be terminated without loops.
• If additional high-voltage surge protection measures are required an appropriate high-voltage protection filter,
approved by MSA, must be installed in the sensor cable.
• Strict adherence to the specifications and regulations applicable to installation, start-up, operation, and
maintenance is required.
• Follow the installation instructions for hazardous areas.
• The specified environmental conditions must be adhered to.
• Position the height of the MSA Gas detector Series 47K according to the density of gas or vapour to be measured.
• The proper installation location must be chosen to ensure that the sintered disc of the MSA Gas detector Series
47K is kept dry and dust-free.
