Overview
This manual describes the 65-2428 hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S) detector. This manual also
describes how to install, start up, maintain, and calibrate the detector when it is used with
a gas monitoring controller. A parts list at the end of this manual lists replacement parts
and accessories for the H
2
S detector.

Table 1: Specifications
Target Gas Hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S)
Area Classification* Explosionproof for Class I, Groups B, C, and D
Temperature Code T6
Installation Category Installation Category 1. Signal level, special equipment or parts of
equipment, telecommunication, electronic, etc., with smaller
transient overvoltages than Installation Category (Overvoltage
Category) II (ref. IEC 664).
Sampling Method Diffusion
H2S Detector Signal Output 0.3 mA at 0 ppm H2S nominal
2.5 mA at 100 ppm H2S nominal
Detection Range 0 to 100 PPM (parts per million)
Accuracy ± 5% of reading or ± 2 ppm H
2
S (whichever is greater)
Response Time 90% in 30 seconds
Operating Temperature -40°F to 104°F (-40°C to 40°C)
* The area classification only applies if the detector is installed using a junction box with an internal
volume less than or equal to 69 cubic inches and rated explosion proof for Class I, Groups B, C, and D. The detector is not explosion proof
if it is installed in a non-explosion proof enclosure, such as in a conduit hub of a controller like the Beacon 200 or Beacon 800.
