Mounting And Location Of Detectors; 1�1 Mounting The Xnx Universal Transmitter - Honeywell XNX Quick Start Manual

1 Mounting and Location of Detectors

cAutIoN
The location of the transmitters and sensors should be made in accordance with
any relevant local and national legislation, standards or codes of practice. Always
replace detectors with a detector of the same type. The detector should be mounted
where the gas is most likely to be present. The following points should be noted
when locating gas detectors.
• Consider the possible damage caused by natural events e.g. rain or flooding
when locating detectors.
• Consider ease of access for functional testing and servicing.
• Consider how escaping gas may behave due to natural or forced air
currents.
Note
The placement of detectors should be determined following the advice
of experts having specialist knowledge of gas dispersion, experts having
knowledge of the process plant system and equipment involved, safety and
engineering personnel. The agreement reached on the location of detectors
should be recorded.
