Instrument installation

Product structure

The detector installation avoids the following environmental influences:

• Environment temperature over device working temperature range.
• Environment humidity over device working humidity range.
• Environment pressure over device working pressure range
• High wind speed.
• Mechanical vibration.
• Strong electromagnetic radiation environment.
• High voltage environment.
• Electricity leakage.

Installation size
The upper and lower spacing of the three fixed holes of the instrument and the size of the device are as shown in the figure below.
The left side is the wiring area, and the right side is the alarm.

• As shown in the figure, the housing grounding mark “ “, the instrument must be properly grounded to avoid personal safety accidents or instrument damage caused by leakage or static electricity.

Installation types
GD700 is a pump suction detector, which can be connected to tube/hose for detection, and the installation position can be selected flexibly.
size of the hole of the detector (above), fix three 6mm expansion bolts on the wall, fix them with screws,

Wall-mounted: This installation method is often selected for normal indoor inspection.
According to the nuts and spring washers, and then use 6x30mm nuts and spring washers to fix the expansion bolts on the wall, as shown.
Note: The installation location must be well grounded or insulated. Leakage of electricity may cause the detector to work abnormally.
*Other installation methods such as horizontal pipe, vertical pipe can be adjusted according to site conditions

Sampling tube selection
The sampling tube should be made of materials that have no chemical reaction with the gas to be detected and no adsorption, and the tube should not exceed 50 meters.

Sampling point selection
The sampling point should be close to the leak source within a distance of 1 m or the area where workers stay.
To detect toxic gases lighter than the air index, the sampling point should be installed above the use environment, and the smaller the detection point, the higher.
To detect harmful gases heavier than the air index, the sampling point should be installed below the operating environment.
Commonly, gas weight is similar to air, their sampling point installation height should be 1.5 meters above the ground .

Wire connectioninstructions
In outdoor areas with a lot of dust, rain or water mist, dust-proof, moisture- proof and rain-proof treatment (such as installing a rain cover) is required, and the wiring is recommended as shown in the picture below, which can prevent rain from pouring back and affect the internal circuit board of the instrument.

Warning: The wire connection must be operated by professionals, otherwise it may cause electric shock or damage the instrument.
*Note: During the wire connection process, it is forbidden to power on.

Cable selection:

1. RS485 transmission cable: Please use shielded twisted pair cable, the theoretical maximum transmission distance is about 1200m, and the actual transmission distance is less than the theoretical value. If long-distance transmission is required, signal  transmission repeaters can be used, but no more than 8 repeaters on one wire (repeaters need to be purchased separately).
2.  4-20mA transmission cable: Please use shielded cable with a core diameter of 0.75mm or more.

• The transmission distance of 4-20mA is determined by the load resistance. The maximum load of this detector is 500Ω (when powered by 24V). The load resistance includes the input resistance of  the control system (controller, PLC, DCS, etc.) and the  internal resistance of the cable.Under the condition that the input resistance of the control system remains unchanged, the transmission distance is calculated with reference to the following formula:
  Reference distance = (500-Rc) ÷ Rm
  *Rc-input resistance of control system, Rm-resistivity of transmission cable.

Wiring interface
J1 on left is the relay control interface: COM (common end), NO (normally open end).
J2 terminal on left, the interfaces from top to bottom are: 24V (DC power- positive), GND (power ground), A (RS485A-positive end), B (RS485B-negative end).

JP5 Alarm light interface

Note: There is only one address for each detector. Do not set the same value for multiple detectors. The effective address range is 001~200!

For example: two four-gas detectors.
Detector 1, the address is set to 001, then the channel C1 is 001, the channel C2 is 002, the channel C3 is 003, and the channel C4 is 004;
Detector 2, the address is set to 005, channel C1 is 005, channel C2 is 006, channel C3 is 007, and channel C4 is 008.
By analogy, the set address is determined by the channel quantity.

2.5.3 Current Setting
In the “Current Setting” interface, you can fine-tune and calibrate the corresponding line of hthe output signal, or adjust the output channel. In the instrument setting interface, use the four direction keys to move the cursor to select the gas, 4mA or 20mA option,  and use the “+” and “-” keys to adjust the parameters, and the settings will take effect immediately.

Output channel adjustment: Arrow keys to select gas, “+”, “-” keys to adjust the gas, the change will take effect immediately. This setting is displayed synchronously in the detection interface. Such as: C1 and C2 channel gas exchange, return to the detection  interface
After that, the channel display corresponding to CO and H2S will also be corresponding to C2 and C1.
Current signal fine-tuning: select the 4mA or 20mA option of the channel which has the connection error with the arrow keys, connect the multimeter to check and verify, press the “+” and “-” keys to adjust, after the multimeter shows that the parameters meet  the requirements, press the “BACK” key to exit the setting interface .

In the “current setting” menu, you can press the “BACK” key at any time to return to the previous menu.

2.5.4 Relay
