2 • Sample Draw Combustible Gas Detector

 

Description

 

This section describes the components of the sample draw combustible gas detector. The 
sample draw detector consists of the housing, flow system, and detection system.

Housing

 

The sample draw detector’s fiberglass housing is weather- and corrosion-resistant. It is 
suitable for installation where general purpose equipment is in use.

The housing door is hinged on the left side and is secured by two latches on the right side. 
The flowmeter and status lights are visible through a window in the housing door. 

Four mounting feet are attached to the back of the housing (one at each corner). Use the 
mounting feet to install the housing to a vertical surface. Use the two conduit hubs on the 
bottom of the housing to make wiring connections.

An aluminum subpanel is mounted to the interior of the housing. The sample draw 
detector’s internal components are mounted to the subpanel.
