3.4 INSTALLATION
Optimum performance of ambient air/gas sensor devices is directly relative to proper location and installation practice.
3.4.1 Field Wiring Table (4-20 mA output)
Detcon Model PI-600 toxic gas sensor assemblies require three conductor connection between power supplies and host
electronic controllers. Wiring designators are
+
(DC),
–
(DC) , and
mA
(sensor signal). Maximum single conductor
resistance between sensor and controller is 10 ohms. Maximum wire size for termination in the sensor assembly terminal
board is 14 gauge.

Note 1:
This wiring table is based on stranded tinned copper wire and is designed to serve as a reference only.
Note 2: Shielded cable may be required in installations where cable trays or conduit runs include high voltage lines or
other sources of induced interference.
The RS-485 (if applicable) requires 24 guage, two conductor, shielded, twisted pair cable between sensor and host PC.
Use Belden part number 9841. Two sets of terminals are located on the connector to facilitate serial loop wiring from
sensor to sensor. Wiring designators are
A
&
B
(IN) and
A
&
B
(OUT).
3.4.2 Sensor Location
Selection of sensor location is critical to the overall safe performance of the product. Five factors play an important role
in selection of sensor locations:
(1) Density of the gas to be detected
(2) Most probable leak sources within the industrial process
(3) Ventilation or prevailing wind conditions
(4) Personnel exposure
(5) Maintenance access
