If installing the trapped person in cold room store pushbutton, it’s essential to install the optional AKO58010 battery to meet EN-378-1:2016 and RSIF (RD552:2019) standards. 

Cautions

• If the device is used without following the manufacturer’s instructions, it may fail to meet its safety requirements. Only probes supplied by AKO must be used for the unit to operate correctly.
  From -40 °C to +20 °C, if the NTC sensor is extended to 1000 m with at least a 0.5 mm2cable, the maximum deviation will be 0.25 °C (cable for sensor extension ref. AKO-15586. Earth the cable mesh at one end only).

• Only NTC probes supplied by AKO should be used for the appliance to operate correctly.

• The product should be installed in a place protected from vibrations, water and corrosive gases, where the ambient temperature does not exceed the value indicated in the technical data.

• For the reading to be correct, the sensor should be used in a place without heat influences apart from the temperature you want to measure or control.
  The IP65 protection degree is only valid with the protection cover closed.

• The IP65 protection degree is only valid if the cables enter the device using a tube for electric conductions + gland with IP65 or above. The gland should be the right size for the diameter of the tube used.

• Do not spray the unit directly with high-pressure hoses, as this could damage it.

• The centre should be installed in a monitored area, where it is guaranteed that people able to alert to the presence of alarms will be present.

• Neither the alarm nor the gas transmitter / detector are suitable for areas classified as potentially explosive.

• Transmitters / detectors monitor a point and not an area. If the gas leak does not reach the sensor, or the level of concentration in that point does not reach the foreseen values according to the type of gas, no alarm will be activated.

• Transmitters / detectors measure gas concentration at a given point. If the gas leak does not reach the transmitter / detector, the alarm will not be activated.

• Transmitters / detectors cannot supervise areas. If perimeter supervision is required, several transmitters / detectors should be installed surrounding the area to be supervised.

• Thoroughly studying transmitters’ / detectors’ location is recommended, bearing in mind the areas most vulnerable to suffering leaks, the type of gas used, the size and shape of the room, air flows, maintenance work, etc.

Working conditions:

• Avoid handling refrigerant gases near the transmitter / detector.
• Do not paint the transmitter / detector or place it near solvents or paints.
• Exposure to acetone vapours may generate false alarms. The transmitter / detector should be installed away from: Smoke outlets located in confined spaces or from engines, generators or motorised machinery (fork-lift trucks, etc.). Particularly damp areas or areas with strong ventilation.

Maintenance

Clean the surface of the unit with a soft cloth, water and soap.
Do not use abrasive detergents, petrol, alcohol or solvents, as this might damage the unit.

The EN-378 and F-GAS international standards require that correct transmitter / detector functioning be checked at least once per year. Review what current local regulations specify for these cases. Consult the appropriate verification method in the transmitter / detector manual. Always ensure that you comply with current local regulations.

Installation

• Remove the bezels (1)
• Make a 1/4 turn of the screws (2) anti-clockwise and open the door (3).
• Install the necessary glands (4 / 5) by drilling holes in the points indicated on the box.
• Mark and make the holes in the wall with the aid of the template included.
• Fix the device to the wall. If it is a brick wall, use the screws and plugs supplied; if the wall is made of sheet metal (cold room store), use the screws provided without plugs (6).
• If installing the optional AKO-58010 battery, connect it as shown in the figure (7)
• Wire the device by following the recommendations indicated on pagepage 14.
• Close the cover (3), tighten the screws (2) and replace the bezels (1).

Wiring

Always disconnect the power supply to do the wiring.
The probes and their cables must NEVER be installed in a conduit together with power, control or power supply cables.
For disconnection, the power supply circuit must be equipped with at least a 2 A, 230 V switch, located near the device. The power supply cable shall be of the H05VV-F or NYM 1×16/3 type. The section to be used will depend on current local regulations, but should never be less than 1.5 mm2 . Cables for relay or contactor outputs should have a section of 2.5 mm2 , allow working temperatures equal to or over 70ºC, and be installed with as little bending as possible.
The 120 / 230 V~ wiring area must be kept clear of any other external element.
The wiring to be undertaken depends on the options selected in the initial configuration wizard (See page 15).
Check the enclosed schematic and the defined configuration before wiring.

Initial configuration (wizard)

The first time the unit receives the power supply, it will enter into ASSISTANT mode. The display will show the message In{ flashing at 0.

The pushbuttons / detectors / transmitters / probes should be connected before initiating the process, otherwise, they will not be detected.

Step 1 :
Select the most suitable InI option based on the type of installation to be carried out and press SET. The available options will be shown in the following table:
