INTRODUCTION

This range of refrigerant leak detecting systems is designed for permanent installation. They
monitor refrigerant leakage on a continuous basis. It provides a valuable warning before
refrigerant leaks impair system efficiency and running costs and, over time, prevents major
refrigerant loss. Refrigerant wastage and replenishment are both economical and
environmentally unacceptable. The refrigerant leak detecting system consists
of:
A refrigerant detector.
This detector senses refrigerant leakage and can be used as a stand-alone device or can
be connected to a monitoring unit. Various detectors for different refrigerants are
available.
A monitoring unit.
The monitoring unit shows the status of one
or more remote detectors. A wall mount or a
DIN rail mount model is available.


Refrigerant Leak Detecting System






Refrigerant detector
Description
Each detector can work as a stand-alone unit,
or can be connected to a monitoring unit for
remote monitoring.
The detector has 2 relay outputs. The prealarm
relay contact is closed when the
refrigerant concentration exceeds the prealarm
level, giving a pre-alarm signalling. When
the concentration exceeds the alarm level, the
alarm relay is activated.
LEDs indicate the status of the detector, such
as: Power-on, Detector active, Alarm, and
Alarm memory. Each detector is refrigerant
specific.
Three different detector enclosures are
available: Room version (GD2.0 type); Splashproof
version (GS2.0 type) and Safety valve
version (GR2.0 type).
The detectors are delivered for a specific
refrigerant. Field calibrations are normally not
necessary.

Detectors GS2.0/GD2.0/GR2.0

Functioning
If the power supply is switched on the green
LED will light up to indicate power on. After 4
minutes a yellow LED will light to indicate
detector active. The detector is now ready to
sense refrigerant leakage.
If the detected concentration of refrigerant,
exceeds the pre-alarm level, the pre-alarm relay
is activated (terminals 5 and 6) and the LED
Alarm is lighted up. If the refrigerant
concentration increases further and exceeds the
alarm level, than the alarm relay is activated
(terminals 7 and 8).
If the concentration decreases, the relays will
switch off, first the alarm relay, then the prealarm
relay. The pre-alarm or alarm condition
will be memorised by LED Alarm memory.
This LED can be reset by pressing the reset
button under the cover.
Note: It is only possible to reset the alarm
memory if the refrigerant concentration is below
the pre-alarm level. Skip the alarm memory
function by removing Jumper BY2.
