PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.1 General Information
A refrigerant gas detector is an essential tool for industries involved in
refrigeration systems and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
equipment. These detectors are designed to monitor the presence of refrigerant
gases within an environment. The operating principle of a refrigerant gas
detector involves the use of sensors specifically calibrated to detect and
measure the concentration of these gases in the air. When a refrigerant gas is
present, the sensor detects it and triggers an alarm and/or a visual
indication, alerting personnel to the potential leak. There are several
reasons why industries should use refrigerant gas detectors. First and
foremost, by promptly identifying and reporting any refrigerant gas leaks,
these detectors help ensure the safety of workers and the surrounding
environment. Refrigerant gases can be harmful to human health and contribute
to environmental degradation if released into the atmosphere. By using a
detector, companies can prevent potential health risks and take necessary
actions to mitigate leaks, thus protecting both employees and the ecosystem.
Additionally, refrigerant gas leaks can have significant economic implications
for companies. Undetected leaks lead to refrigerant waste, which not only
increases operational costs but also damages the overall efficiency of
refrigeration systems. By using a gas detector, industries can identify leaks
at an early stage, minimizing them and maximizing the lifespan and performance
of their equipment. This proactive approach to leak detection also helps
companies comply with environmental regulations and reduce their carbon
footprint, promoting a sustainable and responsible image.
In conclusion, a refrigerant gas detector is a crucial tool for industries
managing refrigeration systems. By utilizing this instrument, companies can
prioritize worker safety, protect the environment, optimize operational
efficiency, and comply with regulatory requirements. Investing in a
refrigerant gas detector is a wise decision that can prevent potential
hazards, minimize costs, and promote the sustainability of the sector.

INSTALLATION
5.1 General Information
To securely mount the transmitter on a wall, use appropriate accessories such
as screws and wall plugs suitable for the mounting surface. Ensure that the
transmitter’s cover part with the roof is facing upwards to protect the sensor
from potential dust buildup.
When considering the functional performance of the device, it’s important to
carefully plan the placement of transmitters within the environment being
monitored.
Pay special attention to:
- Possible openings in walls and ceilings and air currents
- Composition and shape of the environment
- Size of the area to be protected
- Accessibility required for maintenance
- Gas density (whether heavier or lighter than air)
- Gas emission rate (flow)
The sensor’s response time is closely related to its position in the
environment and the type of gas being detected.
For gases to be detected, it’s necessary to assess their relative density to
air and position the transmitter accordingly.
CAUTION
During the electrical connection phase, DO NOT let the cover/sensor hang from
the flat cable. Doing so could damage the product.
5.2 Mechanical installation – Access to internal parts

5.3 Electrical connections
CAUTION
- The installation and electrical connection of the device must be performed by qualified personnel and in compliance with current laws.
- Before making any connections, ensure that the power supply is disconnected.
- Through the RS-485 interface (RS-485 input terminals 1..4 – RS-485 output terminals 20..23 or vice versa), up to 32 devices can be connected. Connections must be made with twisted and shielded pair cables with characteristics equivalent to BELDEN 9841 or BELDEN 9842 cables. The total length of the RS-485 network must not exceed 1000 meters.
- All other connections must be made with cables of suitable section for the correct sizing of the system.
- With a single power supply, it is possible to power up to a maximum of 3 devices, using the Vin AC/DC terminals (power input terminals 5 and 6 – power output terminals 18 and 19 or vice versa).
- The maximum resistance applicable as a load on the 4-20 mA output line when the transmitter’s power supply is 9.6 Vdc/Vac is 350 Ohms.
- Do not use the same conduit for signal and power cables.
The detector is normally powered by a power supply with output at 12-24 Vdc / 12-24 Vac, with a possible backup system.
The analog output, terminals 16 and 17, can only be configured via the Seitron
Guard App.
The detector leaves the factory with the analog output configured in 4..20 mA
mode.

Creating an RS-485 Network
This section provides instructions for wiring a network of devices using the
RS-485 interface with Modbus® RTU communication protocol.
Address configurations, baud rate, and parity settings can be set exclusively
via the Seitron Guard app.
RS-485 CONNECTION CABLES
RS-485 network connections must be made with twisted and shielded pair cables
with characteristics equivalent to BELDEN 9841 or BELDEN 9842 cables, as
indicated in the following table:
TYPE| NO. COUPLES.| RESISTOR IN DC| NOMINAL IMPEDANCE (Ohm)| NOMINAL CAPACITY|
AWG
---|---|---|---|---|---
CONDUCTORS Ohm/km| SHIELD Ohm/km| BETWEEN CONDUCTORS pF/m| BETWEEN CONDUCTORS
AND SHIELD pF/m
BELDEN 9841| 1| 78,7| 11,0| 120| 42,0| 75,5| 24 (0,25 mmq)
BELDEN 9842| 2| 78,7| 7,2| 120| 42,0| 75,5| 24 (0,25 mmq)
- The total length of the RS-485 network must not exceed 1000 meters.
- The cable shield should be connected at only one end to the SH (shield) terminal on the first transmitter. A second ground connection would not ensure equipotentiality of the shield.
- Do not use the same conduit for RS-485 network cables and power or other high-power cables.
- It is not necessary to connect the device grounds together in an RS-485 network
- Sometimes, the simplicity of RS-485 wiring leads to neglecting simple precautions, which can be sources of errors or even cause network communication failures.
POWER CABLES
- Use flame-retardant cables of adequate cross-section, never less than 2.5 mm². Calculate the cable cross-section based on the length and number of connected transmitters, ensuring it falls within the power supply range that guarantees proper functioning of the devices.
- To avoid the use of conductors with a large cross-section, it is possible to power point-to-point devices using individual power supplies.
- In case of communication problems, for example with point-to-point power supply and devices not electrically grounded, it can be helpful to electrically connect the grounds of the devices together.
- In the case of devices with a grounded power supply (e.g., PCs), connecting the ground and earth together can cause problems.
- EXAMPLES OF CONNECTION ERRORS
- Passing power and network cables inside the same duct.
- Passing cables near strong sources of interference, such as near power cables of electric motors or contactors.
- Ground and earth cables connected together.
- False contacts or improper electrical connections in junction boxes.
- Using cables unsuitable for RS-485 data transmission, such as non-twisted cables.
- Using cables with an inadequate cross-section.
- Excessive voltage drops on the power cable.
After wiring, it is recommended to perform a calibration test or functional verification of the device.
