Installation
This section describes procedures to mount the combustible gas transmitter in the
monitoring environment and wire the transmitter to a controller.
Mounting the Combustible Gas Transmitter
1.
Select a mounting site that is representative of the monitoring environment. Consider
the following when you select the mounting site.
•
Select a site where the transmitter is not likely to be bumped or disturbed. Make
sure there is sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration
procedures.
•
Select a site where the target gas is likely to be found first. For lighter gases,
mount the detector near the ceiling; for heavier gases, mount the detector near the
floor.

If the combustible gas detector is mounted to the junction box, skip to step 5. If not,
continue with step 2.
NOTE: The LEL detector is normally provided with a Killark HKB junciton and an HFC
lid rated explosion proof for ClassI, Groups B, C, and D. This combination is
shown in Figure 2 above. Any junction box with an internal volume less than or
equal to 69 cubic inches and rated explosion proof for ClassI, Groups B, C, and D
may be used.
2.
Remove the junction box cover.
3.
Guide the four wires that extend from the top of the combustible gas detector through
