Section 2. Placing Sensors
2.1. Installation Warnings
NOTE: This instrument can be equipped with a semiconductor
sensor for the detection of refrigerant, combustible and VOC
gases. Semiconductor sensors are not gas specific and respond
to a variety of other gases including propane exhaust, cleaners,
and solvents. Changes in temperature and humidity may also
affect the sensor’s performance.
WARNI NG: Explosion hazard! Do not mount the MGD-100 in
an area that may contain fl ammable liquids, vapors, or
aerosols. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an
envi ronment constitutes a safety hazard.
CAUTION: Th e MG D-100 contains sensitive electronic
components that can be easily damaged. Do not touch nor
disturb any of these com ponents.
NOT E: The mounting location of the monitor should allow it to
be easily accessible for visual monitoring and servicing.
NOT E: The monitor must be connected by a marked, suitably
located and easily reached switch or circuit-breaker as means
of disconnection.
NOT E: Connect monitor power and signaling terminals using
wiring that complies with local electrical codes or regulations
for the intended application.
2.2. General Guidelines
NOT E: Th e MG D-100 should be installed plumb and level
and securely fastened to a rigid mounti ng surface.
The MGD-100 cont roller and its sensor(s) should be positioned carefully
to avoid mechanical damage (from moving machinery, doors, etc.) and
thermal extremes (close to heaters). Units should not be placed
unprotected in direct strong drafts/airflows and areas where water or
moisture is pres ent unless an appropriate enclosure is used.
