H
2
S Detector
The detector consists of the detector housing body, detector housing cap, cap gasket,
rubber boot, spacer, and H
2
S sensor.

Detector Housing, Housing Cap, & Cap Gasket
The detector housing protects the sensing components within the housing. Use the
mounting threads at the top of the housing to screw the H
2
S detector into a 3/4” NPT hub.
Use the removable cap near the bottom of the housing to access the sensor for
maintenance or replacement. The cap protects the sensor from damage and includes a
flame arrestor which contains any sparks which may occur within the detector housing. A
cap gasket seals the interface between the housing and cap. A flame arrestor guard is
permanently bonded to the cap.
Two wires extend from the top of the detector housing. Use these wires to connect the H
2
S
detector to the multi-point detector. The housing includes a four-socket pattern. This
socket pattern accepts the sensor’s four pins to secure the sensor within the detector
housing. A pre-amplifier, located between the sockets and two interconnect wires,
conditions the sensor’s signal before the signal reaches the controller.
Rubber Boot and Spacer
A rubber boot and spacer are installed between the detector housing cap and the sensor.
They help ensure that they detector remains plugged into the detector housing body.
Sensor
The sensor is secured within the sensor housing by the detector housing cap. It has four
pins that mate with the sockets in the detector housing body. Through a series of chemical
and electrical reactions, the sensor produces an electrical output that is proportional to the
detection range of the detector.
