Checkpoint All values listed are nominal and slight variations may occur depending upon operating conditions. · The natural level of oxygen available in the atmosphere is influenced by
relative humidity and temperature. The oxygen sensor will react to these changes. · Sudden changes in atmospheric pressure will also cause temporary instability in electrochemical sensors. · Long periods of use in extremely high or low humidity may affect the response of the sensor and shorten the life of electrochemical sensors. · Gas sensing eModule type TX6351.259.DP (nitric oxide) must be constantly powered-up to maintain calibration stability. If the eModule is powered-down for more than 10 minutes, it could take 24-48 hours before stability is restored. Do not calibrate until the output signal is steady.

3. Installing
3.1 Safety Precautions
Hazardous Areas Do not disassemble the sensor whilst in the hazardous area or use a sensor that has a damaged housing in the hazardous area.
Evacuation If a dangerous level of gas concentration is detected by the instrument, leave the area immediately.
Operating Life of Gas Sensors Electrochemical cells contain an electrolyte that is gradually consumed during use. The average life is about two years, dependant upon the duty cycle. The response should be checked at regular intervals. Refer to Section 5 for details of Maintenance to be carried out on the SentrO P.
Sensitivity Electrochemical cells for toxic gases can be affected by other interfering gases which may displace the subject gas being monitored. Steam laden atmospheres and condensation can also reduce the sensitivity.
Flammable Be aware that some toxic gases are also `flammable' at high percentage concentrations.
Operating Limits of Catalytic Combustion Sensors Catalytic combustion gas sensors positively detect the presence of flammable gas. They rely upon the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere and should only be used for gas concentrations up to the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL).
After this point, the output becomes non-linear and may erroneously indicate that the gas concentration is below the LEL. They should not be used in oxygen enriched or deficient atmospheres.

16

TX6353-UM-EN-01 Draft r

www.trolex.com

TX6353 User Manual
Discrimination Catalytic combustion sensors can detect a wide range of flammable gases but they cannot discriminate between individual gases. They will respond to most, or all, of the flammable components present in the atmosphere without distinguishing between them.
Infrared sensors are highly specific to the defined gas type and may NOT respond to other similar gases.
Contamination The response of catalytic combustion gas sensors can be affected by air borne contaminants which will reduce the sensitivity. Substances such as silicones, tetraethyl lead, sulphur compounds and phosphate esters can cause permanent degradation (poisoning). Hydrocarbons may also cause temporary inhibition.
Interference If the atmosphere to be monitored contains a gas that dilutes or displaces the air, this may reduce the response of catalytic sensors. Similarly, steam laden atmospheres and condensation can reduce the stability.
High Concentrations of Flammable Gas Exposure of low concentration catalytic combustion sensors to concentrations of flammable gas greater than the LEL can affect the sensitivity and zero stability of catalytic elements and the calibration should be checked after such an exposure.
Toxicity Be aware that most flammable gases and vapours are also toxic at low concentrations of LEL.
3.2. Tools and Test Equipment Required
No special tools are needed.

3.3. Siting Recommendations
Location of Gas Detectors Each installation needs to be considered in its own right, with reference to safety authorities and in compliance with mandatory local safety regulations. The sensor must be operated in accordance with the User Manual to maintain safety, reliability and to preserve safety integrity where applicable.
It is important that sensors are located in positions determined in consultation with those who have specialised knowledge of the plant or installation and of the principles of gas dispersion. Reference should also be made to those responsible for the engineering layout and topology of the plant as they will be most familiar with the nature of the potential dangers and the most likely sources of gas release. It is also important to recognise that the characteristics of the gas source can be influenced by many factors; including the relative density or buoyancy of the gas, the pressure at the point of release, the ambient temperature and the ventilation of the site.
Sensor coverage cannot be simply expressed in terms of `number per unit area'. Sensors need to be sited where they are capable of monitoring those parts of a plant where gas may accumulate or where a source of gas release is expected to occur. This way, the earliest possible warning of a gas release can be given to initiate shutdown functions, alarm functions or safe evacuation of the premises.
Sensor Management A very important part of an efficient gas monitoring system is the training of plant personnel in operation and maintenance of the sensors and the complete monitoring system. Training can be provided by qualified Trolex application engineers.
Once a sensor installation is complete, the sensor locations and types should be formally recorded and a planned test and maintenance procedure instituted.

2. Clean the gas inlet port with a small brush to remove dust and debris.
3. After the completion of all maintenance, update the maintenance records.
5.2.3 SentrO P - Bump Test
1. With the SentrO P powered-up, note the background gas level on the LCD screen.
2. Spray a 10 second burst of test gas on to the gas port.
3. On the LCD screen check that the gas concentration reading rises and then falls back to the background level. This may take up to 25 seconds from the end of the burst of test gas.
4. After the completion of all maintenance, update the maintenance records.
Checkpoint If the SentrO P fails the above test, replace the defective eModule with a working eModule of the same type and repeat the bump test on the replaced eModule.

5.2.6 Sentro eModules - Replace
1. The Sentro eModule should be changed at regular intervals to ensure the accuracy of response.
2. Service history is logged within the eModule and this data is used to periodically assess its condition whenever it is returned for servicing.
3. Simply undo the screws, open the front cover, remove the old eModule, insert the new eModule into the SentrO P, fit the cover, tighten the screws and return the removed eModule for checking and calibration.
4. After the completion of all maintenance, update the maintenance records.
Checkpoint The periodicity for eModule replacement is approximate and depends upon the eModule type and monitoring conditions. Gaining knowledge and experience of the condition of an eModule when it is replaced will enable you to fine tune this periodicity to suit your location.
