from a mounting surface and ensure that there is enough room to install a calibration cup
on the detector during calibration.
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.
