Installation, Operation & Maintenance

INSTALLATION

Our detectors should be installed in areas at risk of gas accumulation.

Take in to account the design of the air flow patterns within the parking zone area. Detectors should be

installed in the correct orientation, as recommended by the manufacturer, and ease of access should be

accounted for to allow for any bump tests and other forms of maintenance and identification.

Consider the coverage required and function of the area. Emphasis should be placed on airflow patterns

and correct placement, not perceived detecting ranges. The target gas will only be identified when

contact is made with the sensing element itself.

Locations for Parksafe gas detectors will vary based on the intended application and target gas, they

should be located near where hazardous gas could quickly accumulate and areas of identified

consequential risk. The composition of the target gas and its density relative to air are used as the basis

for the recommended height of gas detectors. These heights may vary based on air flow and temperature

conditions in addition to the proposed application and location.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas



Nitrogen Dioxide (NO



Avoid conditions of any other environmental factors that could potentially impede the accuracy and

operation of the detectors such as; condensation; vibration; temperature, pressure, the presence of other

gases, electromagnetic interference and draft areas.

The gas detectors are designed around a centralised Parksafe control panel of which the location also

needs to be considered. The panel should be located away from the hazardous area that it is monitoring.

Accessibility is required both for status observation and alarm purposes.

Where connections may exceed 500 yards from one control panel – Contact your supplier!

The use of sound strobes are highly recommended!
