SAFETY
Ensure that you read and understand this handbook BEFORE installing/operating the equipment.
Pay particular attention to the Safety Warnings.
WARNINGS
1. Thisgasdetectionequipmentiscertiedforandintendedforuseinpotentiallyhazardous
areas. Install and use the equipment in accordance with current local and national
regulations.
2. Refertothecontroldrawingsincludedinthisdocumentwheninstallingthecertied

3. Operators should be fully aware of the action to be taken if the gas concentration exceeds
alarm level.
4. Donotmodifyoraltertheconstructionofanyoftheunitsasessentialsafetyandcertication

6. The equipment is intended for use at atmospheric pressure only and should not be used in
pressures exceeding 1.1 bar.

2. Change gas cartridges using the procedure described in this handbook. Failure to correctly
follow the procedure could result in the wrong cartridge being installed, and possibly non-
detection of events. Alternatively, extraneous alarms could be triggered by chemicals
detected but not of concern at a particular location.
3. Sensor cartridges may contain corrosive solutions. Dispose of in accordance with local and
national regulations.

SAFETY
CAUTIONS
1. Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed for
performance by CSA.
2. Refer to local or national regulations relative to installation and use at the site.
Note: This equipment is designed and constructed to prevent ignition sources arising,
even in the event of frequent disturbances or equipment operating faults. The
electrical input is protected with a fuse.
3. Installation should consider not only optimum siting for gas detection related to potential
leak points, gas characteristics and ventilation but also placement where the potential for
mechanical damage is minimised or avoided.
4. Observe precautions for handling electrostatic discharge sensitive devices when accessing
the interior of the Transmitter Unit.
5. Calibrationproceduresshouldonlybeperformedbyqualiedpersonnel.
6. Ensure that when forcing signals on the Transmitter Unit’s output that the effects on the
network and controller are understood.
7. EnsurethattheApexTransmitterUnitorJunctionBoxamepathisnotdamagedduring

to IP67.
Typical working environments are oil and gas distribution, petroleum extraction and chemical
manufacture.
System installation is straightforward. Components should be installed in accordance with the
procedures described in this handbook and to local or national installation codes of practice.
The Transmitter Unit acts as the local system controller and features a large LCD screen and
four control buttons that are used for operator interaction. Control of the system is implemented via
a system of software-driven hierarchical menus that include such operations as cartridge change,
systemconguration,etc.Remotecontrolofthesystemcanbemadeviaanoptional

The interchangeable sensor cartridge determines which gas is monitored. All gas cartridges are fully
calibrated when supplied.

be exchanged without powering down even in the presence of an explosive gas atmosphere.
Field calibration of the sensor, if required, is also possible. The cartridges available are listed in
