Installation 

4-1  Installation precautions 

Selecting an appropriate installation location is vital for system performance. 
Be sure to observe the following precautions before installing. 
Failure to comply with these precautions may result in failure of the product or improper function. 

CAUTION 

 

The product is a precision device. Certain conditions at the location (environment) where the product is 
installed may prevent optimum performance. Check the environment at the installation location and take 
all required precautionary measures depending on circumstances. 

 

Install the number of units needed at the appropriate locations to ensure that the product plays an 
important role in safety and disaster prevention.   

 

Areas where gas is likely to leak or accumulate will differ depending on the gas type and individual work 
areas. Thoroughly consider the installation locations and number of units to be installed before 
installation. 

 

 

4-1-1  General installation information 

Observe the following precautions when installing the product: 

  If the product is installed in a location where the ambient temperature exceeds 65 °C, use cables designed for 

use at temperatures at least 5 °C above the maximum anticipated ambient temperature. 

  The SD-3 and SD-3SC main units each have two M25 × 1.5 connectors for use when wiring in the field. 

Connectors must always be blanked off with blanking plugs when not in use. 

  The GD-3 has two M25 × 1.5 connectors for connecting the SD-3SC. The connector not in use must be 

blanked off with a blanking plug at all times. 

  Do not mount a sensor that uses a different detection principle from the model type. 

  Use ferrules on the ends of stranded cables. 

  Secondary circuits should be supplied from an insulated source. (Not suited to alarm relay contacts) 

  If installing without using conduits, use cable glands that comply with the explosion-proof certification. In 

addition, connect cable shielding to the main unit, cable glands, and indicators to increase immunity to 
electromagnetic noise and other external factors. 

  Select the cable, terminal plate, and other parts for wiring to alarm relays (optional) to suit the rated voltage, 

current, and environmental conditions. 

In addition, carefully consider the following points when installing: 

  All possible effects on the installation of the gas detector system 

  Restrictions and regulations concerning the installation of the gas detector system 

  Regulations concerning the operation, power supply, and signal cable connections for the gas detector 

system 

  Ambient environmental effects to which the gas detector system may be subject 

  Specifics of the physical characteristics, environmental air movement and flows, and latent leaks of the 

detection gas 

  Accessibility for required maintenance and the shape of the accessories used
