Setup and Installation

Mounting the Control Panel

Choose a suitable location for the control panel, ensuring it is easily accessible and protected from extreme temperatures or moisture. The panel should be mounted vertically.

1. Mark the desired mounting points on the wall using the panel as a template.
2. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
3. Secure the control panel to the wall using the provided mounting hardware.

Wiring Instructions

WARNING: All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with all local and national electrical codes. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring.

1. Connect the 120V AC power supply to the designated terminals on the control panel. Refer to the wiring diagram inside the panel cover.
2. Connect the gas sensors to the respective sensor input terminals (Channel 1 and Channel 2). Ensure correct polarity.
3. If using external alarm devices or relays, connect them to the appropriate output terminals.
4. Verify all connections are secure and properly insulated.

Operation

Powering On

1. Once all wiring is complete and verified, apply power to the control panel.
2. The "POWER" indicator light on the front panel should illuminate, indicating the unit is receiving power.
3. The system will undergo a brief self-test. During this time, the alarm indicators may flash.

Understanding Indicator Lights

• POWER: Illuminates green when the unit is powered on.
• LOW ALARM: Illuminates yellow when a low concentration of gas is detected by one or both sensors, triggering a pre-alarm condition.
• HIGH ALARM: Illuminates red when a high concentration of gas is detected, indicating a critical leak and triggering the main alarm.

Alarm Conditions and Reset

When an alarm condition (LOW or HIGH) is met, the corresponding indicator light will illuminate, and any connected external alarm devices will activate. To silence or reset the alarm:

• Address the source of the gas leak immediately.
• Once the gas concentration returns to safe levels, the alarm will typically self-reset. Some models may require a manual reset button press (refer to specific model variations if applicable, not present on this basic model).

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Yellow Jacket 68202 Control Panel.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the control panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Sensor Calibration: Gas sensors require periodic calibration to maintain accuracy. Refer to the specific sensor manufacturer's instructions for calibration procedures and recommended intervals. This typically requires specialized equipment and should be performed by qualified personnel.
• Visual Inspection: Annually inspect all wiring and connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure all mounting hardware is secure.
• Functional Test: Periodically test the alarm functionality by introducing a small, controlled amount of the target gas (if safe to do so and with proper ventilation) to verify sensor response and alarm activation.
