1. Introduction

The GIR-3000 is an infrared(IR)-type gas detector that is developed to prevent serious accidents
caused by gas leaks by detecting a variety of gases in hazardous areas such as industrial plants,
gas storage facilities and factories in the process of producing or consuming flammable gases,
CO or CO2.
When the GIR-3000, IR-type gas detector is installed in locations that may have gas leaks, it will
continuously monitor the ambient level of gas and display the measured gas value on its
integrated LCD or OLED. Additionally, it supplies DC 4-20mA standard output, isolated RS-485
communication signal, HART and relay contact signal on occurrence of gas alarms.
For standard output of DC 4-20mA, output receiver can support up to 500 meters distance away
from gas detector to receive output signal(When CVVS or CVVSB 2.0 sq↑shield cable is used).
And communication signal of RS-485 can be transmitted up to 1,000 meters (when RS-485
dedicated line is used).

2. Structure

The body of GIR-3000 is made of aluminum alloy and its structure is designed to be explosion-
proof(Ex d IIC T6). The product can be installed in areas that may have flammable gas leaks and
explosions. The integrated liquid crystal display(LCD or OLED) displays current gas leakage level
on the spot.
The internal structure consists of LCD for gas level, connector delivering output such as
measured value(DC 4-20mA) or isolated RS-485 communication signal(optional), HART
communication and alarm signal, and two PCB boards. The outer structure is composed of
sensing parts for detecting gas leakage and cable inlets(2ea). The gas detector can be calibrated
from outside of the device using magnet-bar, which makes maintenance easier.

affecting the equipment operated in emergency. Only authorized personnel are allowed to use
this Mode.

 Press and hold the "↓" Switch for at least 3 seconds while
Means value display gas concentrations in the display. Press and
hold the "↓" Switch for at least 3 seconds to exit again.
#[ CH4 ]
 Entering Inspection Mode, '<' mark will flash at the first place in
< 0]%LEL
the second row.
 You can enter M.-LEVEL item from Maintenance Mode to set
Output value.

11.4. Data initialization

Only authorized personnel are allowed to conduct this Mode because it will initialize all the
values to the data set in the factory before shipping.

 Turn the power ON while holding "FUNC" Key and "UP" Key.
TSM,SEN INIT  When " TSM,SEN INIT " is displayed on the Display window, select
[ YES ] "YES" to carry out the data initialization.

11.5. Correction data initialization

Only authorized personnel is allowed to conduct the initialization because this Mode initializes
to the value of Calibration data set in the factory before shipping. This Mode is used for the
inspector to initialize only the Calibration value among setting values.

 Turn the power ON while holding "FUNC" Key and "UP" Key.
SEN CAL INIT  When " SEN CAL INIT " is displayed on the Display window, select
[ YES ] "YES" to carry out the normal initialization of Calibration data.

13. Caution before installation

13.1. Selection of installation location (Occupational Safety and

Health Law)
The Gas leak detection alarm system shall be installed in such place as follows. :

1) Near chemical accessory equipment installed inside/outside of a building and susceptible of gas

leak such as compressors, valves, reactors, and piping connections, etc. dealing with combustible

and toxic materials.

2) Locations risky of remaining gas near manufacturing equipments with ignition source like heaters.

3) Around connections of filling equipments of combustible and toxic substances.

4) Substations, distribution panel rooms, control rooms, etc. near explosion-proof area.

5) Other special gas-friendly places.

13.2. Selection of installation location (High Pressure Gas Safety

Management Regulations)

The Gas detector of the Gas leak detection alarm system shall be installed close to risky area of gas

leakage. However, if the direct gas leaks are not expected, but gas residence is vulnerable, it

should be installed in such places as follows.

1) A gas leak detection alarm outside of a building shall be installed in a risky place of gas

residence considering the wind direction, wind speed, and the gravity of the gas.

2) A gas leak detection alarm inside of a building shall be installed in the lower part of the

building if the gas is lighter than the air, and upper part or near the vent of the building.

3) The alarm of the Gas leak detection alarm system shall be installed near Gas detector or in

places where workers usually are.

13.3. Precaution before installation

Rainwater shall be avoided because it can be an electrical hindrance, and accessibility should
be considered for periodic maintenance before installation. Vibration or shock shall be
avoided since it may affect the output value, and the sensor shall face the direction of
gravity when installed.

 This device has high pressure explosion-proof structure; belongs to GROUP II targeting gas and
steam from general workplaces and chemical plants; and can be used in hazardous places of
ZONE 1 (ONE) –class 1 and ZONE 2 (TWO) –class 2.
 Allowable temperature belongs to 85 ℃ or lower, which corresponds to T6.
 The ambient temperature shall be in the range of -20 ℃ ~ 60 ℃.
 Installation elevation: less than 1,000 M above sea level
 Relative Humidity: 5-99%
 Installation place: indoors or outdoors
 Explosive ignition temperature of the gases or vapors used: Ex d IIC T6
 The wire conduit shall be sealed to prevent the gas moving or the explosion flame propagation
through the conduit under 45cm when the explosion-proof cable gland is used at the cable inlet
or when metal conduit is used in wiring works.
 At least 5 screw threads must be used for connection of this device and the conduit.
 Other standards should be met in this work such as: [Standards on the selection, installation
and maintenance of wiring for workplace explosion-proof structural electrical mechanism.
 Only qualified materials shall be used in cable entry including CABLE GLAND and SEALING
FITTING; and used in the closure of unused incoming part.
