  • Page 3: Description

    Description The GDS 404+ is a multi channel combustible and toxic gas monitor, which can accommodate up to 4 sensor channels housed in wall mounting enclosure. Sensors may be added or removed as required, but should be carried out with the power to the unit switched off. Each sensor continuously monitors for gas, the display will show the gas type being monitored, the current gas reading and the location of the sensors.

  • Page 5: Installation

    Installation The GDS 404+ Series control instrumentation is designed for installation in a safe area only. Siting of the instrument should be chosen with regard to the following points: (a) Cable within the enclosure should be cut back to the minimum length and having been terminated should be kept away from electronic components and the ribbon cable.
  • Page 6: Commissioning

    POISONING OF CATALYTIC SENSORS Catalytic elements used in flammable gas sensors are liable to be rendered inactive due to ‘poisoning’ by certain groups of compounds. In general contact with any gaseous compound capable of producing an involatile residue upon heating is to be avoided.
  • Page 7 ‘device manager’ ports for example. The terminal program should be set up using the same method and settings as the GDS combi panel (baud rate 2400). The terminal window will appear as below. Follow the onscreen instructions: Press the character on the left of the list of commands to change that specific setting.
  • Page 8: Service - Routine Attention

    SENSOR SUPPLY ADJUSTMENT (CATALYTIC SENSOR) Factory set – no further adjustment required unless a change of sensor type is being made. For ease of setting, measurements are taken across a 1ohm resistor (located on each sensor board) which is connected in series with the supply to the detector head. Current required by each type of sensor is (VQ21–300mA/ VQ23 DCP–335mA) therefore, measuring mV across the 1 ohm resistor at test point TP1 or TP2 (on the mother board) and sv test point on each sensor board, will provide a mV reading proportional to mA’s supplied, adjustment may be carried out using the sensor volts adjustment potentiometer.

    ACTION TO BE TAKEN IF THE APPARATUS ALARM SOUNDS: Extinguish all naked flames, including all smoking materials. Turn off all gas appliances. C Do not switch on or off any electrical lights or appliances. D Turn off the gas supply at the gas emergency control and/or (with L.P .G supply) the storage tank. Open doors and windows to increase ventilation If the alarm continues to operate, even after an alarm re–setting action where appropriate, and the cause of the leak is not apparent and/or cannot be corrected, vacate the premises and immediately notify the gas supplier and/or the...
