installation requirements dictate a direct connection, the Ultima
Gas Monitor can be opened and wired directly.
If you are connecting the relays to motors, fluorescent lighting or
other inductive loads, it is necessary to suppress any sparks that
may occur at the relay contact. These sparks will deteriorate or
destroy the relay contacts, rendering the relay inoperative or
useless. One way to reduce this destructive sparking is to install
a *Quencharc
®
across the contacts. This device is available from
MSA as P/N 630413.
When using the wiring harness provided with the module, refer to
FIGURE C-3 for relay connection. TABLE C-4 lists wire color and
the associated relay function.

WARNING
Before removing the cover of an explosion-proof Ultima Gas
Monitor, verify that the surrounding area does not contain
a flammable mixture of combustible gas and air, since a
source of ignition is exposed; otherwise, an explosion may
occur if a metal object contacts the circuitry and produces
sparks.
