Carbon monoxide installation specifications and precautions

Carbon monoxide detectors, which are used to detect the concentration of carbon monoxide in various environments, can display the results on the instrument display, most carbon monoxide detectors can not only display the concentration but also set the alarm value when the concentration of carbon monoxide in the environment reaches the alarm value, the carbon monoxide detector will issue a variety of alarms. Nowadays, carbon monoxide detectors are used in various places such as shopping malls, public transport, and large production plants. Such a small device has great significance for safety and security, so it is important to ensure maximum accuracy in the installation. So where is the right place to install a carbon monoxide detector? And what are the specifications to learn when installing it? Let's take a look.

Installation specifications

(1) Detector probe is mainly in contact with the detection element of the combustion gas sensor, by the platinum wire coil wrapped in alumina and adhesive composition of the sphere, its outer surface with platinum, palladium, and other rare metals. Therefore, when installing the carbon monoxide detector must be careful to avoid dropping the probe.

(2) The installation height of the carbon monoxide detector should generally be 160-170cm to facilitate routine maintenance by maintenance personnel.

(3) Carbon monoxide detector is a safety instrument, with a sound and light display function that should be installed in the staff easy-to-see and easy-to-hear place, to eliminate hidden dangers promptly.

(4) Carbon monoxide detectors can not have a strong electromagnetic field around the work of the instrument (such as high-power motors, and transformers).

(5) The density of the measured gas is different, and the installation position of the indoor probe should be different. When the density of the gas to be measured is less than the density of air, the probe should be installed 30cm away from the roof in the downward direction; conversely, the probe should be installed 30cm from the ground in the upward direction.

Installation position

The carbon monoxide detector should be installed in a place where the gas is likely to leak, the specific location should be determined by the specific gravity of the gas to be detected in the air. When the specific gravity of the gas to be detected is greater than the specific gravity of the air, the detector should be installed at a distance of (30-90) cm from the ground and with the sensor part downwards. When the specific gravity of the gas to be detected is less than the specific gravity of the air, the carbon monoxide detector should be installed at a distance of (30-90) cm from the ceiling and with the sensor part downwards.

Avoid location

1. Directly affected by steam, oil, and smoke places.

2. To the air outlet, ventilation fans, room doors, and other places with a large flow of wind.

3. Places where there is a lot of water vapor and water droplets (relative humidity: ≥90%RH).

4. Place where the temperature is below -40℃ or above 55℃.

5. Where there is a strong electromagnetic field.

Carbon monoxide detector installation must master the correct installation specifications and installation location, to let the carbon monoxide detector play a real role.
