With the continuous improvement of industrial safety awareness, methane gas detectors have become a must-have equipment in many industrial sites. However, some details during the installation process may affect its accuracy and safety. The following Blue Moon TT&C will introduce the installation tips of the methane gas detector in detail to ensure its accuracy and safety.
1. Choose the right installation location.
First, choose a location where there may be a methane leak for installation, such as near methane storage tanks, methane pipelines, etc. In addition, the detector should not be installed in places with high vibrations and significant temperature changes, as these factors may affect the accuracy of the test results.
Second, the importance of the mounting bracket.
The methane gas detector should be mounted on a sturdy and reliable stand that can withstand the weight and vibration of the instrument. This installation ensures that the instrument remains stable over long periods of use and reduces errors due to vibration or weight.
3. Connection of power supply and signal line.
When connecting the power supply and signal cables, it is necessary to pay attention to the correctness of the polarity and interface to avoid reverse or wrong connection. Incorrect connections can result in damage to the instrument or inaccurate measurement results. In addition, a relatively clean power supply should be selected to prevent the use of the same power supply with large electrical equipment to reduce noise interference in the power supply.
4. Precautions for shell grounding and explosion-proof places.
The housing of the methane gas detector should be grounded, or make sure the ground wire of the power plug is grounded. In addition, the instrument should be installed in non-explosion-proof places and avoid use in explosion-proof places. This is to prevent the risk of instrument failure.
5. Consideration of environmental factors.
When installing a methane gas detector, environmental factors such as vibration, dust, water, etc., should be considered. These factors can affect the accuracy and stability of the instrument. If the instrument is installed outdoors, it is recommended to add a rain cover to prevent rain, snow and other effects on the probe. At the same time, it should be avoided to mount the instrument directly on a heat or oscillation source.
The installation of a methane gas detector is a process that requires care and expertise. By following these installation tips, you can ensure that your methane gas detector can play a greater role in your industrial site and provide a strong guarantee for industrial safety.
