Gas sensor DEGA NSx-yL III

Series of detectors in potentially explosive atmospheres

Type of detected gas

Sensor type with linear output

Third generation product with new DEGA design

DEGA NSx-EL III with an electrochemical sensor

They operate on the principle of change of electrical parameters on the electrodes stored in electrolyte, due to

oxidation/reduction reactions of the detected gas on it's surface. These sensors have good selectivity and the ability to detect

very low concentrations of toxic gases.

DEGA NSx-CL III with a catalytic sensor (Pelistor)

They operate on the principle of catalytic combustion - gas concentration is measured based on the amount of heat released

in a controlled combustion reaction. The reaction is supported by a suitable temperature and the pressence of a catalyst.

These sensors can be used to detect a broad range of flammable gases. The sensors are characterized by fast response,a long

lifetime and high stability. A minimum of 10% of Oxygen in the air is required for it's proper function.

DEGA NSx-IL III with an infrared sensor (NDIR)

Top quality scanning method. They operate on the principle of infrared spectroscopy. The sensors have excellent selecivity in

organic matter, do not require any oxygen in the atmoshpere and are resistant to catalyst poisons (sulfur and silicon

compounds) which cause a change of sensitivity of catalytic sensors. The sensors are characterized by high stability and a long

lifetime.

DEGA NSx-SL III with a semiconductor sensor

Cheapest method of scanning. They operate on the principle of changes in electrical conductivity of semiconductors by

changing the concentration of the detected gas. Their advatage is a long lifetime in a clean environment and a wide range of

different types of gases and vapors. Their disadvatage is their low selectivity - the sensor largly responds to other gases for

which it is not calibrated.

Instalation, assembly and disassembly of the transmitter

Before assembling, read the valid instalation standarts EN 60079-29-2 (Selection, instalation, use and maintenance of

detectors for combustible gases and oxygen) and EN 45544-4 (Guildelines for the selection, installation, use and maintenance

of detectors of toxic substances).

In explosive environments the electrical installation must be performed according to DIN EN 60079.14 (Electrical instalation in

hazardours areas)

Secure that the sensor is reachable by air. The transmitter must be in a free area with no obstacles in its way (furniture etc.)

Ensure that the input of the sensor cannot be polluted by layers of dust or other contamination.

1. Assembly of the transmitter

The transmitter consists of four parts - the body of the transmitter, the removable sensor and Ex „d“ bushings.

Transmitter assembly procedure is as follows:

a) Disassemble the transmitter with the four hexagon socket screws 4mm

b) Disconnect the LCD motherboards

c) Mount the transmitter on a flat surface with four 6mm fasteners in height above the floor with the gas

entrance facing downwards, as specified by the detected substance

d) Direct the cable trough the bushing

e) Connect the cabeling to the terminal block. When using the second Ex „d“ bushing, dismout the Ex „d“

blind plug. It is allowed to use only Ex „d“ bushings with M20x1,5 threads

f) Connect the LCD

g) Assemble the transmitter with the four hexagon sockets scews 4mm

2. Replacement of the sensor module

This activity must not be performed when the sensor is energized.

In case of need to replace the sensor module with a new piece, unscrew and remove

the cover. Disconnect the sensor module cable from the PCB (1), loosen the sink screw

(2) and unscrew the steel cylinder with the sensor (3). Screw the new sensor module,

retain it with the sink screw and connect the cable to the PCB. Finally, mount the cover

and connect to the power supply.

3. Replacement of the battery

Životnost baterie ve snímači je asi 5 let. Po této době již nemusí být některé funkce detektoru

zachovány. Baterii vyjmeme z držáku a nahradíme ji typem Panasonic BR2032. Výměnou baterie ve

snímači, který není pod napájením, dojde k vymazání interních hodin.

4. Connecting the transmitter via current loop to the controler DEGA UPA II DEGA UPA III a DEGA UDA III

Connect one transmitter to each channel of the controler as shown in the picture below

5. Connecting the sensor via RS485 to the controller DEGA UPA III/UDA III

6. Installation of wiring for RS485

Wiring must be done using bus topology and according to the RS485 principles.

Maximum number of connected transmitters per controler channel is 16 (may be less depending on the

configuration of the controller), while the total length of the connecting cable (electrical distance between the

controller and the last transmitter) should not exceed 1200 meters. Due to voltage disposals caused by each

transmitter, the maximum addition of distances must be L1+L2+L3+…+L16:

Selecting the appropriate type of cable depends on the fire report and the protocol for determining external influences.

7. Setting the RS485 adress of the transmitter

Each transmitter must have a unique adress within the entire bus, otherwise there will be

communication collisions and malfunctions.

The transmitter adress can either be set internally using the DegaConfig program or using the DIP

switch on the PCB.

If the position 6 (labeled ADD) is in the ON position, then the adress according to the setting of pins 1-5

is considered. Otherwise the adress set in DegaConfig is considered.

The adress can be set from range 1-31 using binary values. A table with DIP settings for individual

adresses is listed in the attachment "Chart for setting the transmitter adress"

8. Terminating resistor

According to the RS485 specifications, the last device on the bus must be ending with a terminating

resistor 120R. Plug a jumper on the JP2 connector of the last device on the bus to include the 120R

terminating resistor. In the default configuaration the jumper connector is not plugged.

9. Communication protocol switch DEGA/MODBUS

Plugging a jumper in the JP1 connector will swtich from the DEGA communication protocol to the

MODBUS communication protocol.

Transmitter functions

The detector's motherboard is equipped by status LEDs, which help in detecting problems during the installation.

LED „POW“ shines at correct power

LED „TxD“ flashes when transmitting a packet via RS485

LED „RxD“ flashes when a packet is correctly recieved via RS485

LED „ERR“ shines/flashes in case of malfunction or substandart situations

1. Turning on the transmitter

After turning on the power the LED "POW" starts shining and the LED "ERR" starts flashing, indicating a forming

sequence of the sensor and automatic testing procedures, which can take up to 180s depending on the sensor used.

The output of the current loop is 1mA. During this sequence, testing of internal electronics and stabilization of the

sensor in order to eliminate false alarms after turning on, is taking place. At this time, the display only shows the

time to the beginning of the measurement loop.

After completion of the formation, a 4mA current begins to flow on the output of the current loop and the

transmitter starts working according to it's settings.

2. Gas detection

The transmitter continuously measures the detected gas concentration in the atmoshpere and converts it's current

value into a 4-20 mA signal or transmits it's value to the evaluation unit via DEGA/MOBUS protocol.

3. Malfunction

If a malfunction of electronics or the sensor is detected during operation, the transmitters starts transmitting via a

0,5mA current loop. On the PCB this state is indicated by the yellow LED "ERR"

4. Monitoring the calibration periods

The transmitter continuously checks the calibration validity of the connected sensor.

After 12 months since the last calibration (Max. calibration interval) the LED "ERR" starts flashing. The connected

sensor must be calibrated immediately. The transmitter will transmit the information about the ending calibration

via current loop. The transmission will be the following: 10s transmitting a 4-20mA signal informing about the actual

gas concentration following a 1 second interval of 2mA current.

5. Reading the record of measured concentrations and alarms

The transmitter periodically after 60s stores the current detected concentration into it's internal memory. The

internal memory retains data from the last 64260 measurements (cca 44 days). In order to read this information,

the program DegaConfig is required. Refer to the DegaConfig program instruction.

Operation, maintenance, inspection and service of the transmitter

1. Usage limits

To maintain proper operation of the transmitter it is neccesery to respect the fact, that step changes of humidity,

condensation or rapid changes of pressure can cause incorrect indication of the measured value. Each sensing technology is

suited for different methods of application, which is described below. All sensors are characterized by a smaller or larger cross-

sensitivity to other gases than those which are set. Therefore before processing project documentation we recommend to

have the air in the deployment area of the detection system analyzed.

a) catalytic sensors:Trace amount of vapors of silicon compounds and sulfur compounds cause a permanent loss of sensitivity,

which requires recalibration or replacement of the sensor. Longterm crossing of the measuring range causes a decrease in

sensitivity. In case of an atmoshpere having an oxygen content of less than 17%, there will be an underestimaton of the

measured value. In case of an atmoshpere having an oxygen content of more than 25%, there will be an overestimation of the

measured value.

b) electrochemical sensors:Constant exposure to toxic gases or short-term exposure to gases, which greatly exceed the

maximum range of the sensor, can damage the electrochemical sensor, which requires recalibration or replacement. High

temperature along with low relative humidity have a negative effect on the sensor's lifetime. In case of an atmoshpere having

an oxygen content of less than 1% for longer than 1 hour, there will be an underestimation of the measured value.

c) infrared sensors:Vapor acids and alkalis can etch the optical system and distort the measurements. A check or a calibration

may be neccesery.

d) semiconductor sensors: Short-term exposure to gases or vapors of organic solvents, which greatly exceed the maximum

range of the sensor, may damage the sensor and a recalibration or replacement may be required. In case of an atmoshpere

having na oxygen content of less than 18%, there will be an underestimation of the measured value.

2. Operation

To maintain proper operation of the transmitter it is neccesery to respect the fact, that the presence of certain concentrations

of gases or vapors, other than those for which the sensor is set, can cause an alarm, even if the concentration of the gas does

not exceed the set level. Given the range of disturbing gases or vapors (diluents, exhaust gases, vapors of organic substances,

disinfectants, etc.) a generally allowable concentration of interfering gases can not be determined. Data on cross-sensitivity to

certail gases are included at the apporpriate sensors. Therefore before processing project documentation we recommend to

have the air in the deployment area of the detection system analyzed.

3. Operation/Maintenance

In case of contamination the surface can be cleaned with a slightly moistened cloth.

The seonsors have a different lifetime depending on the sensing technology used, and environmental conditions.

Characteristics of the sensors vary over time. Therefore it is required to perform regular checks and calibrations, which can be

done in two ways:

a) 1x every six months carry out a „calibration“ and functional control - adjust the sesitivity of the sensor using calibration

gas and check the functionality of the system. The exact interval depends on the purity of the environment, required

accuracy and the occurrance of disturbing gases in the atmoshpere.

b) 1x every twelve months carry out a „calibration“ - adjust the sesitivity of the sensor using calibration gas and check the

functionality of the system. The exact interval depends on the purity of the environment, required accuracy and the

occurrance of disturbing gases in the atmoshpere. Also carry out a „functional control" 1 x every three months -

checking the function of the entire detection system using a test gas, which does not exceed the range of the sensor.

We recommend using gas intended for laboratory use.

For the „functional control“ do not use means for testing fire alarm detectors!

Perform calibration only at certified service centers with a valid certificate of competence or the manufacturer.
